My youngest is in her 3rd year of college! When my kids were really small, I ran my own home daycare for children of all ages.

This is an individual operated home daycare. I have a Degree in Bachelors in Arts, Bachelors in Education, Masters in Business Administration. I have sixteen years of experience working with children. I began my career as an Assistant Teacher, and in one year, I took over as the Lead Teacher. Within two years, I was promoted to Assistant Director, in a leading child care center. I was the Assistant Director for five years and also the Program Coordinator of that center. I took a break from working when we moved out of the area and I had my daughter. Upon my return to the workforce, I was a Lead Teacher for two years. After that I took a position as an Assistant Teacher in another child care center, so that I could work closer to home. I had the opportunity to work within many different child care/preschool systems, which exposed me to various ways of teaching. Included in this experience, I worked in a Montessori School for two years. Through all of these experiences, my favorite has been teaching children in my home daycare. We do lots of fun activities; learn numbers, the alphabet, phonics, creative arts, small daily life needs, fun projects, and more. I prepare kids for kindergartner also if parents like to do so and help kids in there homework to if needed. I take kids from infant to 6yrs old ,I care for twins too.I offer late nights and date nights for parents to spend some time without kids .All three meals are included in the tuition. I offer sibling discount .After school is offer for morning kindergartners. My home daycare is pet free and smock free and very neat and clean Home. In a very clam and quite neighborhood. I believe in a small group of kids. We are accepting children from Ashburn, Herndon, Sterling, Leesburg, and Lansdowne. As I am in Leesburg,VA and these places are close but I do take kids from other cities if there parent are coming down to work in Leesburg, VA. Now Enrolling children.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Dickerson, MD

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Dickerson, MD. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Dickerson, MD for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Dickerson, MD, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Dickerson, MD.

When looking for a preschool near you in Dickerson, MD on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
