Our center is run very similarly to an elementary school but with many more flexible options for enrollment. Our program is State accredited as are our staff and curriculums. At HJC ELC, we believe in the value and uniqueness of each child we serve. Our childcare experience is designed to promote each child’s own individual social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. As caregivers and educators, our mission is to provide a safe and developmentally appropriate learning environment, which fosters a child’s natural desire to explore, discover, create, and become a lifelong learner and leader. We try to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens. Our program is built around the concept that children are born ready to learn. As caregivers, we strive to create a learning environment that is safe, stimulating and encouraging. Children develop knowledge of their world through active interactions with caregivers, peers, materials, and events. Learning is sequential, building on prior understandings and experiences. Learning proceeds at different rates in each area and each child; children will show a range of skills and understandings in any one area of development. Young children learn best through experiences, which incorporate several areas of development. Children learn best when their learning activities are rooted in a familiar cultural context. Learning begins in the family, continues in early care and education settings, and depends on parent involvement and caregiver guidance. All children have the potential to achieve the Maryland Learning Standards with appropriate support and instruction.

Care Member says "The HJC is a fantastic school! The teachers are so loving and caring. The small setting makes it both comfortable and comforting for parents and...
