My program serves children from infants through 4 years old. I have 10 years of pre-K teaching experience, and I'm licensed and accredited by the Maryland Department of Education Office of Child Care. My goal is to provide a safe, secure environment for your child that fosters physical, social, emotional and cognitive development. Activities are designed to provide stimulating experiences for the children where they can learn through their own inquisitiveness. The emphasis during the toddler and preschool years is on building self-confidence and encouraging the natural curiosity that toddlers and preschoolers possess. Throughout the day, children enjoy the large variety of play materials that are readily made available to them, as well as creative centers where children can enjoy fun activities such as playing dress up, building with blocks and experimenting at the sensory table. Art, music, language, math and science activities geared to little hands are also introduced.

B.H.C.C. is based on the child development model which incorporate the theories of the great philosophers of Piaget, Vygosky, Erikson, Gardner and others. Learning through play is viewed as the cornerstone of the curriculum. Here children are giving the opportunity to explore materials and participate in variety of experiences. Activities are carefully planned and implemented in an open- classroom sitting. Children are free to choose from age- appropriate activities including: Art, music, Language Development, Pre- Math Skills, Science and Nature and Dramatic Play. Children develop self - esteem, independence and problem solving skills as they make choices and assist in planning the environment and activities. We offer a high quality bilingual program such as the dual language (English & Spanish). The proficiency in more than one language is a valuable skill to be cultivated in our communities starring in the early ages. My primary goal is for the children to feel safe and secure. Prior to being independent a child must know that he or she can depend on adults and a predictable environment. Children are treated with respect and kindness. I recognize the children develop at different rates and different interest.

Hello, and welcome to My Little Angels daycare of 20 years, where we teach a comprehensive curriculum. Our program offers a true early childhood education environment where our students learn numbers, colors, shapes, sing songs, enjoy creating crafts, and story time. Our facility is bright with students’ family pictures and artwork hanging on the walls. There are many toys and activity sets for infants and toddlers. There is a circle time center and tons of learning curriculum posted. Our space feels like a preschool classroom or learning center, and we use flashcards, posters, books, and more to ensure children are learning. I take pride in having a wonderful childcare space with a kitchen, play area, many arts, and crafts, as well as a spare guest room for napping. Personal Development: I strongly believe in teaching manners and how to be good friends. My goal is to send them off to kindergarten, socially responsible and emotionally mature when they become school aged. I also have a beautiful and very friendly Golden Retriever! COVID Safety: My COVID procedures include using sanitizer spray and wipes throughout the day and washing hands before and after snacks and lunch. I clean my diaper station and other surfaces with bleach and water.
