Recent parent reviews

  • We have been at Kensington since 2023 and have loved everything about it! All 3 of my kids have thrived, the teachers are so nurturing and loving, my kids are happy and having them in this environment takes the parental guilt away from me having to go to work and be away from them. When we initially started looking for a daycare option back in 2022, I had heard that Kensington is worth the wait and we will not be disappointed. Turns out, that is very true! While all child care is a huge investment, this has felt like money very well spent! My oldest kiddo is off to Kindergarten in the fall and he is very well prepared thanks to his time here! Overall, I definitely recommend!

  • We love Kensington School! We've been here for almost three years, and our experience has been amazing. I can't imagine any other school being part of my child’s early years. Whether helping me navigate potty training and tantrums or teaching kids how to read and write, the staff truly care about my child’s academic and social development.

  • We moved our daughter here when she was 1.5 as we were looking for the best school in our area. Not only is it extremely clean, the teachers and principal/ staff make all the difference. We are beyond happy and love the school and everything it has been for our little girl and family.

  • Our child started at Kensington School of Wheaton just after turning one and has been there for close to a year. It’s been such a great experience for our family, and we always feel like he is genuinely cared for throughout the day. The teachers are great—kind, attentive, and engaged. You can tell they really care about each child, and that’s meant a lot to us. Communication is easy, and everyone is very approachable, which we’ve appreciated. The assistant director and director are also so wonderful—supportive, present, and clearly very involved. It’s obvious they truly care about the kids and the overall environment they’re creating. We feel really lucky to have found a place where our child is happy and thriving.

  • We recently started at Kensington and have had a great experience so far. Our little guy was struggling with solids and Director Christina gave me suggestions that worked immediately. They work in partnership with you and your little. We also love the teachers in the infant room. Our transition from city/nanny to Kensington Wheaton has been incredible.

  • Our daughter has been at Kensington for almost a year (attends for preschool). Their teachers are warm and welcoming. Their Director and Assistant Director are responsive and always willing to help. They were extremely accommodating when we joined, and our daughter had some difficult days at drop off. Our daughter potty trained with the assistance of her teachers, which of course, we very much appreciated. She loves their lunch and snack menu, variety of curriculum (Spanish, music) and building friendships. We have been very happy with our choice.
