I have been an educator in Maryland since 2005 and specifically working in early childhood since 2007. Drool of Rock is a great example of what play-based learning should look like! My son attended for two years, and he gained so much confidence and social skills. The staff at Drool treats the children like family; every child who walks through their doors knows that they are loved for who they are! As the mom of biracial children, I absolutely love that there seems to be an intentional diversity in staff hiring. It is also wonderful that my son sees young men working in child care because that is an anomaly in most child care settings! There is a wonderful core of teachers like Ms. Dani, Ms. Amy, Ms. Hailee, Mr. Lucas, Ms. Candace, Ms. Cassey, Mr. Clearance, Ms. Jenn (owner) and many more! We live in the city and would drive 30 minutes out of our way just so our son could attend preschool at Drool. Drool of Rock is a place where kids can be kids and learn who they are while learning through play that is purposefully planned. I highly recommend sending your child to Drool of Rock!! 🎸 🎵

The infant program is amazing!! I so dreaded the day I had to leave my precious baby at daycare but Drool of Rock made me feel so much better about the whole thing. The facility is beautiful, the curriculum is amazing and the teachers are kind and caring (and super fun!). Now we look forward to daycare, my son because he has a great time with all his friends and me because I know my little guy is in great hands. Love! Love! Love!!!

While I am late posting this review, I thought it is best for everyone to know our experience at Drool of Rock. It started out great. The staff was welcoming and it was a music based day care, which is what drew our attention initially. My son was 18 months old when he started. We had just moved to the area and were relieved to find a daycare so quickly. My son did have a few challenges, specifically with biting and did have a couple incident reports written up revolving around his biting other classmates. We acknowledged the issue and were working to try everything we could to stop this behavior. However, there was no consistency in the staff at Drool of Rock. When we would go in the evening to pick up our son, there was a bunch of high school students watching the children. The full-time staff had left for the day. We had been told by the supervisor that we were going to have a meeting with the director to see what we can do to help curb some of his behaviors (especially since the classroom teachers were unprepared to handle any child that deviates from what is "normal" and they had children watching our kids in the afternoon). Anyways, the meeting never happened. In fact, we never received any communication from the director throughout our entire time at Drool or Rock. Instead, we got an e--mail (not even a phone call) on a Friday evening at 7pm that said we were no longer welcome back at Drool of Rock effective immediately. Now this e-mail did not even come from the director of the school; it came from the supervisor. We didn't check our e-mail on Friday night so we read the e-mail on Saturday morning. Even after we expressed our frustration about how the situation was handled, the director of Drool of Rock never communicated with us, not once. We were now left with no childcare for our son come Monday morning. I do NOT recommend Drool of Rock to anyone, especially those with a child that doesn't fit the norm. My only regret is not filing a complaint with the child care licensing board.

Drool is hands down the best preschool in the area. Awesome curriculum, amazing staff, loving teachers, great programming. My only regret is not switching into their program sooner. ❤️

Coming from another provider nearby, Jenn and Drool of Rock has been a breathe of fresh air. Absolutely amazing and creative out of the box experience my wife and I love. The whole staff is super caring and make the experience so fun and enjoyable my son never wanted to be picked up. We would highly recommend Drool of Rock, def get a tour and check them out!

My daughter (now 18 months) has been enrolled at Drool of Rock for several months now. We’ve had a great experience since day one. My daughter runs into the building each morning. The staff are so genuine. I can tell they truly enjoy Having the kids around. The weekly themes are fun and engaging for all ages. My daughter has learned so much in her short time at this center. The communication is also really good. The facility is clean and fun! I highly recommend this daycare.

Our daughter has been at Drool of Rock since she was 3 months old, she is now 13 months! While she only goes to daycare 3x per week, I have to say that the staff at Drool take such amazing care of her. So much so, she wakes up and says “school” every single day. They have a huge part in her mental and physical growth and I am confident enough to say that she wouldn’t be excelling like she does without them! We love Drool so much, and how they care for their students really shows when our daughter comes home happy every single day!

We LOVE Drool of Rock! Our son had an in-home nanny for his first 3 years and we were very worried about how he would adjust to preschool. The staff and children were so incredibly welcoming which helped him transition beautifully. It is a fun, engaging learning environment with caring and competent teachers. Our son loves the music and art focus and it is artfully decorated to support the theme - not dark at all - in fact extremely bright and colorful. As a former early childhood educator who has seen many, many daycare centers and preschools - I do believe this is a top notch preschool environment and would recommend it.
