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.
