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.

  Wonderful place. Our daughter has been going since she was able. The staff are amazing and caring, the education she has received here- fantastic. The facility is one of the cleanest. I drop her off knowing she is in good hands. She has made friends here and gets excited about going back after a break. The cost is reasonable for the area. You really can’t go wrong with Children’s Centre Bowie! I will be sad when she ages out.

  We have been at The Children’s Centre for a year and a half, and we love it! The teachers are excellent, and most of them have been working there a long time. I love that my kids get to learn by playing, getting messy, and spending a ton of time outside on the huge playground. I couldn’t be happier.

  I am truly grateful for the staff at The Children’s Centre. My brother attended when he was younger, so naturally I felt the most comfortable sending my daughter here as well. Everyone is a true pleasure. Would highly recommend!

  This is one of the most caring and organized centers in Maryland. My daughter enjoys her teachers and loves attending. It's location is conveniently located just off of 301. The Director is pleasant and a joy to all parents, children, and staff. The Centre has well-planned academic plans and activities. Through out the year they bring in several different vendors teaching children a variety of social and cultural skills. During the summer the children's schedule are packed with creative play and enrichment activities. Very happy children grow here 🥰📚🤸🏾‍♀️

  We have had such a wonderful experience at this children’s centre! My son has been attending since he was 2 years old and he will be 4 in March. The growth and development we’ve seen in him has been absolutely amazing. He can now count to 10 confidently and is able to say and identify all of his numbers. He also knows his ABCs and can say and identify almost every letter — he’s only missing three! His progress academically and socially has truly impressed our family. The teachers are caring, patient, and intentional about helping each child learn and grow. I’m so grateful for the strong foundation they are giving him. I highly recommend this centre to any parent looking for a nurturing and educational environment for their child.

  We came to The Children's Centre on recommendation from a coworker who also had their kids here. My son started the day he turned 2 and five years later, we're still here for the after school program. We also now have a 3 year in as well (she also started at 2). The last five years have been wonderful. The Children's Centre and every single staff member have been hugely positive influences on my Children's lives. There are constantly new activities that keep the kids entertained and they get a ton of electronic free play time! This is a safe place for your kids - I could not recommend them enough.
