My son goes to Bambini Child Care, which is run by Nina Harris. We love Nina as our 4 year old son has thrived since attending her childcare center. She is very passionate about his education as well as his general well being. Within 1 month of attending Bambini Child Care, she taught my son to read. She has an individualised teaching plan for each of her students, based on their strengths and areas of improvement, which show her commitment to their education. Also, when my son is at Bambini Child Center, I am never worried about his well being in any way. I highly recommend Nina Harris and her child care center to any parent.

Eva Day Care

6137 Quiet Times, Columbia, MD

Starting at $200/wk

I have been a teacher for the last 25 years and in 2000 I decided to open a home daycare that centered around Montessori teachings. In my time as a teacher and home daycare provider, I have taught reading, writing, music, art and math to young children. Under my care children will have circle time, story telling, exercise, and playground time.

Teaching is my passion and I believe that teaching can begin as early as the age of one; I teach my children sounds of letters and before 3 years old, they are reading 3 lettered words. While I believe in teaching children core skills before they reach their school years, I also fundamentally believe in play. I love singing to my kids and enjoy dancing with them! I make sure that they have time to enjoy being outside and playing with their peers.

I also serve free breakfast, snacks and lunch. Parents can also witness the progress and development of their kids through their projects and events that I host annually.

I host holiday and seasonal parties that children help with. Parents can enjoy a program complete with a concert from their kids, food, and beverages.

I hope to continue to serve the community and showcase my love for children through my home daycare.
