I've been licensed since January 2003. I hold a current CPR/First Aid Certification and complete 12 hours of child related classes each year. I have a mixed aged group between the ages of 6 months to 6 years old. I'm open part-time, Monday-Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. My hours are not flexible! I do not offer full time care. I follow Howard County Public Schools weather delays & closings. I'm also closed for spring/winter breaks. This is the perfect daycare for Howard County teachers! My goal is to provide a safe & happy environment for children where they can learn & grow through play. I provide a home like setting; therefore, I don't follow a strict routine.

Child care
Kids Kingdom Child Care and Learning Center values early childhood education as the foundation for lifelong learning. We offer child care services from 6 weeks to 5 years old. We also offer before and after care program for school age kids. We believe that each child is a unique individual and should be viewed, respected and treated as such. As the welfare and well-being of each child is paramount, we strive to provide holistic support of the child's exclusive requirements and interests in a nurturing, familial environment that fosters the child's development across all developmental domains. We believe that the child develops in an orderly manner by passing through stages of development, which occur in predictable sequential fashion according to his or her physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth. We provide experiences in dramatic play, math, art, science, music, language, pre-reading and pre-writing. These experiences nurture and facilitate growth at each stage of a child's development. Verbal skills are encouraged through group discussions and through one-on-one conversations between teacher and child and among children. These verbal activities enable children to develop the critical-thinking skills necessary to further learning. One of the teacher's roles in this process is to ask the right questions at the right time to spark the interest and desire to pursue a line of inquiry. Partnerships with families provide us with invaluable information relating to cultural backgrounds and heritage. Our teachers strive to build the relationships with families based on co-operation and a mutual respect for the reciprocal roles that each play in the lives of the children. Partnerships with families are developed through daily discussions, newsletters and meetings. Moreover, The Kids Kingdom open door policy aims to facilitate an open flow of communication while maintaining confidentiality and respect of the privacy and wishes of each family, resulting in the highest levels of customer service. Partnerships with industry professionals assist staff development and expansion of the curriculum to meet the individual and collective needs of all children. Needs based on cultural identity, additional support education and medical interventions which all require greater individual knowledge and supported cooperative teams, assures all children are facilitated in an inclusive environment as best as possible.

I have been a nanny to a local family for two years. Recently I decided to expand my business and I am now licensed by the state of Maryland as a family child care provider (this includes CPR/First Aid certification and SIDS training). My home has been in my family for 100 years and my mother was a family child care provider for seven years. The child care area is separate from my family's personal space and has a dedicated entrance and separate facilities (kitchen, bathroom, play areas, nap area). Families have described my child care as being bright, cheerful, engaging, and soothing. Activities include structured lesson plans, crafts, gardening, outdoor activities, circle time, independent play, and much more. I also provide family activities after child care hours. My home is smoke free and our four dogs are contained in our personal space. Children have no contact with the animals and the animals are never in the child care area - this includes the outdoor play space. Child care isn't just about someone watching your child while you are at work. For many children family child care is their first connection with the world outside of home and the first step in the education/socialization process. My role as a child care provided is multifaceted. I have to maintain a safe environment where children feel nurtured and loved and where they can thrive developmentally, scholastically, creatively, and socially. Babies start out learning motor skills, developing their curiosity, and establishing a sense of their surroundings. Toddlers progress to learning fine motor skills, potty training, development of social skills, and self control. Preshoolers start developing skills that will be used to enter kindergarten and that build self confidence through practical successes. To reach all of these milestones I make sure that all activities offer an opportunity to learn a new skill or build upon already acquired skills. Children learn best through play so I provide lots of opportunities for play that results in exposure to math, science, language, and reading. I also provide opportunities to experience art, music, cooking/baking, and gardening as these create opportunities for self expression, creative thinking, and attainment of practical life skills. Hours: M-F 7:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. (some flexibility) full time, before/after school (summer & holiday), & drop in care available Breakfast, lunch & two snacks provided to ages 1+.
