Spring Knolls embraces a play-based learning philosophy in a cooperative community while focusing on the &quot;whole child.&quot; Through the power of play, our experienced and dedicated staff help children thrive in the five developmental domains: social, language, cognitive, fine motor, and gross motor skills. Located in downtown Silver Spring, Spring Knolls is for ages 2 through pre-K that offers half-day (9am-12pm), full-day (9am-3pm), and beginning in fall 2023, extended day options (9am-5:30pm). Play-based learning is, essentially, to learn while at play. Whether it is building with blocks or playing with plastic animals in the sand table, the child solves problems and learn new skills while doing something they enjoy. The child directs the learning experiences based on their innate curiosity, furthering their understanding of the world and people around them. A cooperative community means that parents are directly involved with the administration of the school. All parents help in the school operations, from marketing to facilities upkeep.

Hello, and welcome to My Little Angels daycare of 20 years, where we teach a comprehensive curriculum. Our program offers a true early childhood education environment where our students learn numbers, colors, shapes, sing songs, enjoy creating crafts, and story time. Our facility is bright with students’ family pictures and artwork hanging on the walls. There are many toys and activity sets for infants and toddlers. There is a circle time center and tons of learning curriculum posted. Our space feels like a preschool classroom or learning center, and we use flashcards, posters, books, and more to ensure children are learning. I take pride in having a wonderful childcare space with a kitchen, play area, many arts, and crafts, as well as a spare guest room for napping. Personal Development: I strongly believe in teaching manners and how to be good friends. My goal is to send them off to kindergarten, socially responsible and emotionally mature when they become school aged. I also have a beautiful and very friendly Golden Retriever! COVID Safety: My COVID procedures include using sanitizer spray and wipes throughout the day and washing hands before and after snacks and lunch. I clean my diaper station and other surfaces with bleach and water.

Aunt Molly's is a dynamic home daycare run by a social worker and now adding an elementary teacher. We have over thirty years of experience working with kids and families. We are in a large, single family home right on Bluemont Park with two large, sunny playrooms, separate nap room, a deck, patio,and endless backyard! Our focus is on twenty months to four-year-olds and the developmental stages they go though during this age. Please note that I do not accept infants. To learn to love learning, kids need to have fun and feel good about themselves. We offer a comfortable home environment where your child will have lots of opportunity to play and be a kid! We believe that children should have an early period in their lives when they can experience the world at their own speed in a non-rigid environment. We offer young children the opportunity to run and play and express themselves in their own special way. My program is small, so we can get to know each child and offer them the attention and time they deserve. Here your child will enjoy learning the life skills and the preschool basics they need to start school. My program provides nutritious food (2 meals and snacks) with lots of variety as part of the USDA Child Nutrition Program. We teach healthy eating habits with lots of outdoor activity and daily exercise. I keep a clean home but know children learn through sensory experience. Here they will be allowed to dig in to learning and get messy while doing so. They will also learn to clean up after themselves! Along with playing and learning, we read, listen to and play music, do arts, crafts and imaginative play, take nature walk, learn how to follow rules, listen to adults and to be considerate of others. I respect and love children's individuality and will support you in developing your child's sense of self esteem. We go on regular field trips to the park and take the time to enjoy the fun of childhood! I believe in being considerate, committed, consistent and disciplined. I am somewhat old-school in terms of rules and respecting adults and believe in constant positive reinforcement to keep negative behavior at a minimum. I treat children with respect, love, lots of fun and wackiness,while, as my niece says: Aunt Molly runs a tight ship!
