I have professionally been caring for children in my home for 23 years. I am currently licensed with the state of Maryland. Over the years, I've been a Licensed Family Child Care Provider (FCC) for the military along with being state licensed. I hold many hours of certifications and CEU training for child care. My home is clean, smoke-free, and pet-free. I have a home filled with age appropriate toys and learning tools to stimulate and encourage creative play. I keep my daycare ratios low so I can provide each child with one on one time.

My home's philosophy is based on the belief that each child should have a place they can come to each day that provides a warm, loving, at home environment. Every child that comes to my home gets individualized time and care, with an environment structured around each child's individualized needs for growth and development.

I follow a daily schedule that includes:

** Preschool curriculum -Mother Goose Time, a nationally recognized preschool program.
** Free play,
**Arts and crafts,
** Dramatic play,
**ABCs,
**Games,
** Indoor/outdoor play,
** Manipulative play and numerous other activities,
**I provide USDA meals and snacks daily to each child.
