Hi everyone. My name is Madeline and I am a single mother of a beautiful 18-month-old girl. I come from a family of nine, yes some jaws are probably dropping, but I wouldn't have changed it for the world! It has taught me many things (responsibility, sacrifice, and patience). Most importantly it has showed me the importance of family and what a blessing it is to be a part of one, and share so many great memories! Coming from a family of nine, I have a lot of experience with children of all ages, as well as cleaning. There is no better feeling in this world than to know that I impacted a child's life for the good, and to put a smile on their face. A few of my favorite activities to do with a child include: playing outside, crafts, reading books, and teaching them educational facts. Thank you!

My name is Tammy. I worked in the Banking Industry for 33 years and Retired as a Manager, June 2012. While planning to retired I decided to open a Child Daycare in my home .I've always had a passion for kids.Family childcare in a "home like" setting is the best alternative for working parents. I provide a small secured environment for children during the most important time of their development. Family childcare offers a home away from home, providing children with "siblings" of all ages to play, socialize and learn from. I care for a very small group, as it is my belief that fewer children equal better care. Therefore I am able to give more "one-on-one attention. I am able to encourage each child to grow according to their needs. I'm Licensed with the State of Maryland, CPR/First Aid, SID training, Early Childhood Certification, Criminal Background Check .

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Forest Hill, MD

Drop-in daycare near you in Forest Hill, MD can be a flexible and convenient solution for busy parents who need child care on an as-needed basis. This type of child care gives families the flexibility to drop their children off for just a few hours or for an entire day, depending on their individual needs. This kind of drop-in service can help to reduce stress associated with arranging more traditional, longer-term child care options.

Typically, drop-in daycares cater to children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years old, but daycares will vary depending on their facilities and requirements. When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Forest Hill, MD, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Forest Hill, MD may require a short registration process and forms to be filled out, it is usually not necessary to make a reservation ahead of time for each visit. This convenience makes drop-in daycare an ideal option for those with unpredictable schedules or when babysitters aren't available due to illness or other unanticipated events. However, drop-in centers may fill up quickly during peak times, so it's always best to call ahead to ensure the needed availability.

When preparing to drop your child off at drop-in daycare near you in Forest Hill, MD, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience.
