To sum it up: In order to be licensed in the state of Maryland you and the people in your home (18+) must have completed a background check & fingerprints. The Fire Marshall has to come in and approve of your emergency exits, fire extinguisher & fire alarms. You have to have completed a number of trainings, have insurance, put in an application with the state to then be assigned a licensing specialist. The licensing specialist will come out look at your first aide kit, your home (ensuring that it is safe), make sure that you have enough supplies, toys and bedding for the amount of children that you plan on keeping & check all your paperwork including certifications. When you are licensed you also get a yearly unexpected pop up from the specialist to ensure that you remain in compliance with the Maryland State Guidelines. You have to apply for continuing registration every 2 years updating all paperwork, having the fire Marshall revisit and completing continued trainings.

Those who are not licensed has not done any of the things above.

We use the Playing Preschool curriculum. We combine topics and activities in this curriculum with a Montessori approach. We also taken into account the different interests of the children and build activities around that as well.

*Lower child-to-caregiver ratio. We offer a smaller, more intimate setting where your child can receive personalized attention and care. 

*Children can develop a closer relationship which is beneficial for their emotional well-being. 

*Children will not have to make an adjustment moving from class to class as they get older, which provides a sense of comfort and security. 

*Cost is lower than facilities because our overhead cost is on a lower scale, allowing providers to be more affordable. 

*You usually only communicate with your child's teacher on a daily basis when attending a facility. Your in-home child care provider is the Owner, Director, Teacher, Chef, Secretary, Nurse and Janitor. We will be able to answer your questions without having to reroute you to a person who may have the answers.

*There is flexibility to tailor the children's activities and learning experience to meet their individual needs and interests. We can focus on activities that align with your child's developmental stage and provide personalized attention to their educational growth.

*Individualized nurturing and support will be given based on your child's unique personality and needs.

*Your Provider is the one caring for your child (unless they have substitutes). At facilities a teacher can be there today and gone tomorrow. Children have to have security and predictability in their surroundings. Teachers in facilities may love the children but not some aspects of the management or facility. They can easily take their certificates and onboard elsewhere. Leaving your child to learn a new person and having some sort of changes to their daycare routines.

We have not had anyone use vouchers as of yet however, we are open to discuss this as an option at the interview.

An app called Brightwheel is used. You will be invited to the App once you enroll with us. This app shows you what the child will be doing throughout the day ex. eating, activities, bathroom or diaper changes. You will also be able to receive pictures, newsletters and messages. 

Yes we do. Please call or email with your specific needs so that we can discuss further.
