“Azeez” means precious in the Urdu language and it embodies our approach to early childhood education. We understand these first few years of life go by in a blink of an eye yet solidify who we are for decades. These special, formative years are precious. We are a home-based early childhood education center located in 20904 Silver Spring with a 2,000 sq ft indoor space with 4 distinct learning spaces and a half-acre green playscape featuring a kid-sized climbing wall! At Azeez, we partner with parents to grant each child a kind, loving, and fun introduction to the formal schooling experience because we want them to be lifelong learners. If we can get children to fall in love with learning early on, they can achieve whatever they set their mind to!

I own a licensed family childcare home in the Cradlerock area. I have worked in childcare for over 15 years; however, I grew unhappy with the childcare centers and the lack of family atmosphere and proper care and consistency in most. Children can learn as much if not more in a family childcare home due to the comfortable at home atmosphere. Also I believe the stability of having the same person with your child all of the time gives you as well as your child peace of mind, unlike most childcare centers where staff is continuously changed. I believe that anyone can run a childcare center but, it takes a family to help raise a child. I am the next best thing to you being at home with your child! -Walking distance from elementary. -Healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks provided. -Learning activities (school preparedness). -Walking distance to a great community playground. -Before and after care. -Summer program. -Open on most school closed days and holidays. -Over 15 years' experience in childcare. -CPR and First Aid certified. -S.I.D.S certified. -Foreign language lessons. -Infant sign language. -Potty training. -Maryland excels certified. -Field trips to the Zoo, Science Center, Farms and lots more! $225 per week (my price is firm. I DO NOT do deals or discounts. I charge according to the caliber of care and service that I provide).

Child care
Kids Kingdom Child Care and Learning Center values early childhood education as the foundation for lifelong learning. We offer child care services from 6 weeks to 5 years old. We also offer before and after care program for school age kids. We believe that each child is a unique individual and should be viewed, respected and treated as such. As the welfare and well-being of each child is paramount, we strive to provide holistic support of the child's exclusive requirements and interests in a nurturing, familial environment that fosters the child's development across all developmental domains. We believe that the child develops in an orderly manner by passing through stages of development, which occur in predictable sequential fashion according to his or her physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth. We provide experiences in dramatic play, math, art, science, music, language, pre-reading and pre-writing. These experiences nurture and facilitate growth at each stage of a child's development. Verbal skills are encouraged through group discussions and through one-on-one conversations between teacher and child and among children. These verbal activities enable children to develop the critical-thinking skills necessary to further learning. One of the teacher's roles in this process is to ask the right questions at the right time to spark the interest and desire to pursue a line of inquiry. Partnerships with families provide us with invaluable information relating to cultural backgrounds and heritage. Our teachers strive to build the relationships with families based on co-operation and a mutual respect for the reciprocal roles that each play in the lives of the children. Partnerships with families are developed through daily discussions, newsletters and meetings. Moreover, The Kids Kingdom open door policy aims to facilitate an open flow of communication while maintaining confidentiality and respect of the privacy and wishes of each family, resulting in the highest levels of customer service. Partnerships with industry professionals assist staff development and expansion of the curriculum to meet the individual and collective needs of all children. Needs based on cultural identity, additional support education and medical interventions which all require greater individual knowledge and supported cooperative teams, assures all children are facilitated in an inclusive environment as best as possible.
