We are located on a quiet cul-de-sac in Hollywood, MD, 1.5 miles north of the Hollywood Firehouse and a mile south of Jones Wharf Road on the southbound side of Route 235. Our school districts are Duke Elementary and St. John's Schools. Hours of operation are 5:45 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Costs of daycare are dependent upon the age of the child and care required, i.e., regular full-time, part-time, special teacher rates, etc. Regular full-time care per month for an infant is $200, for a two-year old is $175, and for a three through five-year old is $165. Our program is structured to promote a sense of order and a feeling of security but is flexible enough to keep from being stifling. We believe that children learn through play and hands-on activities. Our toddlers and preschoolers discover shapes, colors, numbers, the alphabet, sharing, and manners. Children also work on their fine and gross motor skills. We have a large fenced-in playground for outside play. Lots of books, puzzles, learning games, toys, art supplies, and music will keep your child's mind and body active during free time. We take early childhood classes and have CPR, SIDS, First Aid, and Emergency Preparedness Certifications. We provide healthy meals and snacks for all ages as well as diapers, wipes, and formula for the infants (the cost is included within our rates).

46021 W. Westbury Blvd Lexington Park, MD

License #252641. I base my child care philosophy largely on Heather Shumaker's books and her childhood preschool, the School for Young Children . Ms. Shumaker takes the refreshing approach that being a young child is all about play and any learning a child needs until they reach age seven can be obtained through play. I don't do desks. I don't do lessons. Curriculum is not a concept I believe in beyond giving children the tools they need to learn through play. I don't believe in forced sharing. I teach instead to take long turns. If a child is playing with something, it is theirs until they decide they are finished. This allows children to not be interrupted in their learning experiences and, rather than promote how sharing is not fun and can be painful, teaches respect for others and naturally helps children learn how to be generous. I highly recommend reading both of Ms. Shumaker's books, It's OK Not to Share and It's OK to Go Up the Slide. The House Rule: As long as it's not hurting people, animals, or property, it's OK.

I have been operating a licensed family child care home for over 25 years. This is not just a job to me, it is my passion. I love children and I love working with them and their parents each day. I have a very big backyard playground with lots of room to run and play. Two large wooden swing set structures and playhouses. Indoors, we enjoy music time, learning through play, free play, circle time, story time, and a preschool curriculum for 3-5 year olds. That is not to say that there is no learning activities for younger ones because there is, it is done through games and activities. My prices are very reasonable and competitive for this area. I am in the Carver Elementary School district and I offer before and after school care. I currently have openings for infants and up. Please give me a call to set up an interview and tour of my daycare.H(301)737-5439 or C(240)298-8398.
