We are proud to be a Maryland EXCELS Level 3 School, recognized by the Maryland Department of Education for exceeding state standards through best practices and high-quality care.

Our year-round, full-day program serves children from 6 weeks to 5 years old, supporting growth in an atmosphere of love, learning, and respect.

Program Highlights

∴ Infant & Toddler Program – 3 classrooms for up to 24 children, with separate spaces for younger and older infants.

∴ Preschool – Separate classes for Twos and Threes, focusing on Social Emotional Learning.

∴ Pre-K & Kindergarten – Two age-based Pre-K classes, including a Kindergarten-approved program for older students needing a smaller, personalized setting.
