Let's find your child a spot
Book a tour, ask what's open right now, or just tell us what you need. Call the office on (301) 202-2705, text (240) 579-2027, or use the form below. Every message gets a reply, usually the same working day.
Tell us about your family
Weekday tours run during normal hours, so you see the rooms mid-morning rather than tidied up. We also do Saturday and Sunday tours by appointment. They take about half an hour, and bringing your child along is a good idea, not an inconvenience.

Families usually ask…
The questions that come up on almost every tour.
What ages do you accept?
Children from 6 weeks through 12 years, across four programs: Infants (6 weeks to 17 months), Toddlers (18 to 23 months), Preschool & Pre-K (2 to 5 years), and School-Age (5 to 12 years).
What are your hours?
Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with pickup by 6:00 sharp. Care is up to 10 hours per day and 50 hours per week. We're closed on weekends and published holidays; the yearly holiday calendar is in the parent handbook.
Do you offer part-time schedules?
Yes. Full-time is four or five days a week; part-time is three or fewer days, up to 29 hours a week. Half-day schedules (7:30 to 12:30, or 1:00 to 6:00) are also available.
What does tuition cost?
Weekly rates depend on age, from $300 per week for school-age children up to $450 per week for infants, with half-day and part-time options. There's a one-time $50 registration fee, and a security deposit of one week's tuition that goes toward your final week of care. Call or text us for the exact rate for your child's age and schedule.
Are meals and snacks provided?
Breakfast and two snacks are provided daily, with fresh fruit or vegetables and whole grains at least four times a week. Families pack a ready-to-eat lunch; we keep it cold, warm it up, and top it up from our own healthy options if a food group is missing. Documented allergies and dietary needs are accommodated, and infants follow the feeding plan you provide.
How do you communicate with parents during the day?
Every family receives daily updates with photos and notes about meals, naps, and activities, plus conferences twice a year. You can call or stop in any time.
What is your illness policy?
Children need to stay home with a fever, vomiting, or a contagious illness, and may return once symptom-free for 24 hours without medication. Full details are in the family handbook.
Do you help with potty training and kindergarten readiness?
Yes to both. We follow your lead on potty training and keep it pressure-free, and every Pre-K child leaves with a kindergarten-readiness summary of skills and next steps.
Is there a settling-in period?
Yes. The first two weeks of enrollment are a trial period for both sides, so your child can get used to the routines and you can be sure the fit is right. After that, withdrawing just takes two weeks' written notice.
What do I need to bring?
A crib-sized fitted sheet and blanket (they come home each Friday for washing), a spare set of clothes, and diapers and wipes for the little ones. Everything labeled with your child's name. The full checklist for your child's age is in the parent handbook.
Prefer to just call?
Call during center hours and you'll get a person who knows the classrooms, not a call centre.
