I am a mother of three wonderful sons. My two oldest sons are adults now and living on their own. My youngest son is on his way to college next year. I had the blessing of being a stay-at-home mom for most of my sons' lives. I am a loving, nurturing and compassionate mother and want to share those qualities with other children. I am a new professional Family Child Care Provider located in Columbia, Md Licensed by Maryland State Department Of Education. I have a small family daycare and I am different than a Daycare Center because I limit the number of children that I care for. I am licensed to care for 6 but I am caring only for 4 children. By staying small, I am able to provide the quality care and nurturing atmosphere that children need. As a family child care provider, my goal is to provide a safe and happy environment for each child that will stimulate their physical, intellectual, social and emotional growth at their own pace. I offer loving care that focuses on each child as a unique and wonderful individual and in doing so, builds self-esteem and respect for others. I have a small dog who will not have access to my daycare areas and will have no interaction with the children. My home is also smoke free and very clean. I look forward to welcoming your child into my home. Availability begins January, 2016. Registration License # 251202.

Our Bar-T Kids Club program is the largest private provider of before and after school programs for children in Montgomery County. We strongly believe that children need to have choices, and we provide a variety of opportunities for children each day. At Bar-T Kids Club, we allow our children to choose which clubs, games, sports leagues, and special events they would most enjoy. Bar-T first welcomed kids and their families into the Bar-T Ranch Summer Camp in 1961 and we are proud of the positive impact that we have had on generations of area families over the last 50 plus years. Today, Bar-T has expanded well beyond the grounds of the Ranch Summer Camp to provide area families, individuals and businesses with unique experiences by offering the very best in after-school childcare, summer day camps, outdoor education, corporate team building and events. Our mission, our philosophy and the Bar-T culture all guide our staff to respect each of the kids and adults that participates in our programs as individuals, working to provide meaningful choices throughout all aspects of our programs. We go beyond creating environments that help to ensure both physical and emotional safety by listening, showing respect and helping each member of our community remember that they are of great worth. Bar-T Kids Club began in the Fall of 1985 when one of the Ranch's neighboring elementary schools reached out in search of a new approach to before & after school care. Bar-T's owners, Joe and Nancy Richardson, accepted the challenge and quickly created an environment in which the children could participate in activities that were fun, educational and enriching. They didn't want anyone to feel sorry for children who needed to attend an after-school program. Instead, they worked on designing a program that was more club-like during the off school hours and one that children looked forward to joining.

I was born and lived in Lima, Peru for 35 years. I graduated in Industrial engineer at Federico Villarreal University in Lima Peru. After immigrating to the United States of America, I went back to college (Broward Community College) and started taking English classes. Later, I received another bachelor's degree in Mathematics at Florida Atlantic University in 2008. Currently, I am pursuing a master's in Early Childhood Education at Towson University focusing on understanding the language, cognitive, physical, and social/emotional development of a child in the context of different points of influence, such as a multicultural, technology, the social/ prosocial and multilingual background. I came to the U.S.A with my husband and three daughters, who at the time were 5 years old, 3 years old and 7 months old. I knew it would be completely different for us and we would face new challenges. The most important challenge would be to learn and master the language, English. The second and third challenges, respectively, was to become immersed in a new culture and new traditions and to face the new and different education system. I needed to be prepared in order to help my children start school correctly, since they were all very little (Kindergarten age and younger). My eldest daughter participated in ESOL classes, but she managed to get into Mathematics Advanced GEM (Great Explorations in Mathematics), which is a program for students to move faster through math subjects than they would in a regular program. My other two children were identified as Gifted students early-on. All these events and experiences help me better understand the U.S. education system. In addition, to working with my children and as a college student, I had a lot of exposure in teaching. My experience as a substitute teacher in Florida showed me how the education system of different grades. I learned it is essential to make an impact early-on to help students thrive and be successful. As a teacher at a childcare center in Maryland, I saw firsthand how important diversity and inclusion is on young students. Now, as an owner and director of a small center (maximum 12 children) I see that children's education is not static but a dynamic process. My main goal is to make a difference in every child's future by bringing out their unique potential but always reminding them to laugh and to enjoy every moment. State Licensed & 5+ prior years experience.
