Fingerprints Child Development Center, Washington DC

Very shady hiring practices. My friend quit her 20hr job as a teacher! (with their knowledge) thinking she was going to make more with better benefits. The job offered 16hr they said the job pays for school but they only do it for the best employee of the year. Very messed up especially during pandemic.

What a wonderful program! My grandchildren have attended Fingerprints for 3 years now and I know my daughter and son-in-law made an excellent choice. Even though I rarely pick up the teachers know my name and the Director is very welcoming. My grandchildren are happy to come to school and that means a lot to us.

We've been at Fingerprints for the past 4 years and couldn't be happier. We've sent both our kids there, starting in the infant room and graduating on up to their Kindergarten-Prep class. The teachers are fantastic and keep an open line of communication on growth and developmental milestones. They also serve as my go-to resource when dealing with age-specific challenges at home. My parents have been so impressed at what my kids have learned at school- from basic life skills & emotional intelligence to elementary addition/subtraction, writing and reading before kindergarten. The school has a new playground which the kids love and is heavily utilized. We feel safe and secure inside the Dept.of Interior building. The school is bright, airy, colorful and welcoming to all. They have also been strictly following all COVID-19 protocols. I highly recommend to any prospective family looking for childcare in downtown DC.

My family has been a Fingerprints family for two years now and we couldn't be happier! My preschooler loves to go to school to play with her friends and she is very engaged with the curriculum. My infant son has also formed close bonds with his teachers and smiles when he sees them. I love how his teachers change the room around to keep the children active and they encourage tummy time. When my daughter started in toddlers, I immediately noticed a huge leap in independence. I am the Director of Fingerprints now and I am so happy that I found this childcare center for my family.

Many of the Fingerprints teachers have been at the center over 10 years, several over 20 years! This is a special place that feels like a community. I am happy to have a safe place to bring my children since COVID started- there is even a new playground that is only for Fingerprints children!
