We are a private, non-profit Christian Early Childhood Education Center conveniently nestled outside of Rockville, Silver Spring, Fulton and Olney near the I-cc. In addition to beautiful and inviting classrooms, we have fields to be explored and a playground with a view of horses that offer a wonderful place for imagination and physical activity to soar. The HVCLC Team works together to create a well-rounded curriculum based upon play and early literacy with teaching methods inspired by the Montessori and Waldorf teaching methods. A child’s view of the world that they live in and how they see themselves in it is greatly shaped by “play” and here at HVCLC, a lot of planning goes into all of that “play” which we love to share with our families so that they get to be a part of each day's activity as well. An additional element which goes into the curriculum of the program at HCVLV is God’s Word. This element of the program stands alone with regards to planning, but it can be found throughout the day in the discussions that are had, questions that are answered and in the way we treat each other and understand our world.

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.
