My daycare is located in the Howard County part of Laurel. I have been a licensed provider since January, 2003. I've been married for 18 years and have 3 children of my own, ages 15 years old, 17 years old and 19 years old. As a parent myself, I understand how difficult it can be to trust someone you don't know with your little one while at work. My goal is to make the transition to daycare as easy and worry-free as possible and make my home your child's home away from home. In my program, children participate in a full range of age-appropriate activities that teach the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors. We do all this with one goal in mind, to have fun! I'm licensed for 8 children. I provide care for ages 6 weeks to 5 years old. I provide full-time & part-time. My home is smoke free. Open Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I am licensed, CPR/First Aid certified and SIDS trained. Check out my reviews for my excellent references. I have a small group of children so your child will get the attention they need and deserve! If you are interested, I will email you my daycare policies upon request. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Hello, I am a licensed Child Care provider in the Catonsville, MD area. Having been in the business for 14 years, I am extremely passionate about child care. I offer a fun, structured, nurturing environment. I provide a planned curriculum for early learners including a variety of activities to encourage motor speech and cognitive development. I absolutely love what I do and love all my children. I have received most of my children from word of mouth. I get many referrals from others and have excellent references. I have cared for many children who started at just a few months old, until they left to enter kindergarten. Some of the things that I focus on are: Alphabet/Numbers Colors/Shapes Singing Blocks Walking/Exploring Arts/Crafts Dance/Music I believe that children crave constant stimulation from their environment and interactions with their caretaker, so that is my daily goal. I focus on their mental and physical ability to complete various tasks. I realize every child is at a different level, I build from their weaknesses and improve their strengths. I have a large play area in the house with lots of toys and play structures; as well as outside in the yard. I believe that open and honest communication between parent and caregiver is essential in our successful partnership.

I own a licensed family childcare home in the Cradlerock area. I have worked in childcare for over 15 years; however, I grew unhappy with the childcare centers and the lack of family atmosphere and proper care and consistency in most. Children can learn as much if not more in a family childcare home due to the comfortable at home atmosphere. Also I believe the stability of having the same person with your child all of the time gives you as well as your child peace of mind, unlike most childcare centers where staff is continuously changed. I believe that anyone can run a childcare center but, it takes a family to help raise a child. I am the next best thing to you being at home with your child! -Walking distance from elementary. -Healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks provided. -Learning activities (school preparedness). -Walking distance to a great community playground. -Before and after care. -Summer program. -Open on most school closed days and holidays. -Over 15 years' experience in childcare. -CPR and First Aid certified. -S.I.D.S certified. -Foreign language lessons. -Infant sign language. -Potty training. -Maryland excels certified. -Field trips to the Zoo, Science Center, Farms and lots more! $225 per week (my price is firm. I DO NOT do deals or discounts. I charge according to the caliber of care and service that I provide).
