Champions at Amidon-Bowen Elementary

We really love PQ Kindercare. The teachers and staff clearly care about the kids and making sure they have a loving and positive experience each day. Even during COVID, the teachers and staff have kept in touch with us to check in and see how our child is doing. They have made a significant number of changes to their operation to help ensure safety during COVID as well.

Excellent daycare! We couldn't have been happier with the experience for both of our children. The teachers and administrators truly care about their students and work hard everyday to provide an environment where every kid looks forward to coming in to learn and develop.

We are so happy with our decision to send our infant to KinderCare Penn Quarter. We looked at a couple of other daycare centers, but KinderCare was the only one we felt completely comfortable with! The curriculum, even for babies, is fantastic. We laughed when we had a parent/teacher conference when the baby was 4.5 months old, but it was incredibly informative and gave us a real sense of our baby’s development. We could also see her teacher really knew what she was doing and about child development. This center places a high priority on the safety and security of the children and staff—from secure entrances to safety drills, and everything in between, we feel assured of our child’s well-being in their care. Another area in which this center rose above others was in the food they serve the kids. The meals are healthy and well-balanced. The teachers and staff clearly love children and their jobs. I have watched teachers work with parents to help a child who may be having issues in one area or another (socialization, sleeping, eating, etc). There is free 30 minute parking in the garage next door/below the center, so pick up and drop off is easy! Since I can’t stay home with her, I feel lucky to be able to send my baby to a place where she is so loved and well-cared for. I highly recommend this center to any parent!

Our family has two children at Penn Quarter KinderCare and we truly enjoy the center, the teachers and the administrators. Everyone has been so welcoming to our children and helpful to us as parents. Finally, the physical facilities are clean and well kept with plenty of space for the children. The location is well situated for outdoor play at the sculpture garden and the national mall. Excellent option for families living or working downtown.

We've had our 18mos old at Penn Quarter KinderCare since she was 10 mos old. She loves it. Her teachers are terrific. The transition from the infant room to toddler room was seamless, due to the staffs attention to building relationships with her new teachers early. We couldn't be happier with our choice in childcare. Additionally, the administration of this center is the best we've experienced in any of the facilities we've used for either of our kids.
