Maryland publishes an infant band and a school-age band and no others, so these are not a total capacity and say nothing about toddler or preschool places.

  I have a child graduating from HSELC who started in Jan 2025 and a younger child still attending and I cannot express how thankful I am and how much it has benefited our children and family. The structure and push for academic excellence as well as the understanding for the child's development has been great. Even with some tough times with our child, they have always been understanding and the communication between teacher, parent, and admin has been great. I'm so thankful for finding HSELC and honestly couldn't imagine where our children might be without this school.

  Our daughter started Heaven Sent Early Learning Center when she was 3 years old. We were extremely nervous as it was her first time being away from us for more than an hour. However, Ms. Tori and Ms. Vanessa made us feel very comfortable from our very first visit. By the end of the first month, we were like family. We could relax knowing our child was in a safe environment, she was well taken care of and having fun while learning. We love Heaven Sent Early Learning center as it is not like most daycare where kids play all day, they actually are taught structured lessons, we were extremely surprised by how much our child knew after a few months of attendance. When it was time for kindergarten, it was a no brainer for us, we had to enroll our child as we knew she would be getting quality education, from a teacher who believes in her students, sees potential, encourages efforts, offer supports, and celebrate their wins big or small, thank you Ms. Tori. We wanted our child to have a good foundation, and we knew we made the right decision when we see our kindergarten performing at 1st and 2nd grade level. Gems like Heaven Sent are rare, a safe space for your little ones to learn, play and grow, great teachers who care, who communicates, listen to your concerns and work with you to find a solution. We are happy to be a part of this family.

  I toured Heaven Sent Early Learning Center (HSELC) in July 2025. During that tour, I was explicitly told that children must be 100% potty trained. This policy did not raise concerns for our family, as our four-year-old son had been fully potty trained for over a year prior to enrollment. He is also accustomed to age-appropriate responsibilities at home and demonstrated the independence and readiness we believed necessary for school. We enrolled our son in September 2025. This was his first school experience. Like many children born during the pandemic, he had primarily been cared for by family and required time to adjust to a structured classroom environment. Beginning school is a significant life transition, and for some children, that adjustment can temporarily trigger potty-training regression. That was the case for our son, who began having accidents during the two-hour classroom nap period. I proactively asked his teacher to prompt him to use the bathroom before nap time. I was informed that staff are not allowed to ask children to go to the bathroom, a rule that was never disclosed in the potty-training policy or during enrollment. This restriction feels developmentally inappropriate for three- and four-year-olds and creates a predictable setup for failure. In my experience—as both a parent and someone familiar with early childhood education—scheduled bathroom breaks are standard practice, even for kindergarten-aged children. Despite this challenge, our son continued to excel socially and academically. However, we began receiving warning emails regarding potential contract termination, which created significant stress for our family. We later learned that multiple families received similar warnings and expressed fear and frustration regarding the lack of clarity and support. Ultimately, our contract was terminated immediately before the holidays, leaving us scrambling to secure alternative childcare. This occurred after we had already paid substantial upfront costs, including a $250 nonrefundable administration fee, uniforms, school supplies, and required shoes. When I requested my son’s workbooks—materials that should reasonably be covered by the administration fee—I was denied. Leaving this review is not something I do lightly, especially regarding a Black-owned business. How-ever, I feel a responsibility to share our experience so other families can make fully informed decisions. Many families are already operating at capacity, and this level of confusion, rigidity, and lack of transparency feels unnecessary and, frankly, predatory. As a community—and especially as Black women—we must do better. Our toddlers are human beings not liabilities or line items. Families deserve compassion, clarity, and developmentally appropriate support. My son is a person, not a number.

  A Truly Heaven-Sent Experience! I’ve been part of the Heaven Sent family for about a year now, and I can confidently say that enrolling my daughter here has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for our family. From day one, the love, care, and dedication shown by the teachers have been unmatched. The administrative team goes above and beyond to support families and create a nurturing, safe environment for every child. Before Heaven Sent, my daughter had a very negative experience at another early learning center—she was injured, and I was never informed. She wasn’t learning or developing the social skills every child needs. But the transformation since joining Heaven Sent has been amazing. She now knows her first and last name, her birthday, all her shapes and colors, and even the names of every one of her classmates. She is confident, happy, and fully comfortable with her teachers, which brings me so much peace as a parent. I wholeheartedly recommend Heaven Sent to any family looking for a loving, safe, and enriching environment for their child. When your child is here, you can rest easy knowing they’re in excellent hands.

  We are truly grateful to have found Heaven Sent Early Learning Center! They take amazing care of our child and she has shown exponential progress in her development in the last 10 months she’s been enrolled. The Owner and Director demonstrate professionalism, a wealth of knowledge in childcare and education, a passion for teaching and nurturing children, and a priority for health and safety! Our child looks forward to school everyday! It brings us so much peace and joy to know she is happy, healthy and safe when she is away from us. We highly recommend Heaven Sent if you are looking for a 10/10 establishment!

  As first time parents, we had A LOT of anxiety surrounding the need to put our son in daycare. After almost two years of interviewing other childcare facilities, we couldn't find any that made us feel comfortable..... that is until we learned about HSELC. We scheduled a tour and decided to enroll our son on the spot. HSELC checked off ALL our boxes! It has great security measures in place, it's always clean, and they put the children first ALWAYS. We LOVE that we can watch our son on camera throughout the day and that we can communicate with his teachers at all times. Ms. Vanessa and Ms. Tori are AMAZING! They're very hands-on and are on-site everyday. The curriculum is developed to meet each child where they are. It's tailored to each child, not a blanketed plan for the entire class. My son is 3 and is doing EXCEPTIONAL! He is way beyond other kids his age who go to other facilities. My son loves his teachers. He is always excited to go to school and always tells us he had a great day at pickup. Everyone at the center is patient, kind and cares for the children like they're their own. When we drop our son off each day, we are at peace knowing he's in good hands. Thank you HSELC Family for all you do! We can honestly say this center is a blessing to our family and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for childcare!
