Our Early Learning Centers serve children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. Care is offered from 6:30 am - 6:30 pm.  Breakfast, afternoon snacks, and milk are provided.  Our programs are designed to stimulate growth, provide academics and emphasize socialization skills.   We use the Creative Curriculum which is aligned with the Frederick County public school’s curriculum. These tools guide us in planning exciting and meaningful preschool activities that will help prepare your child for their entry into kindergarten. We also incorporate a music curriculum.

Our children have endless opportunities to enjoy a large variety of activities such as arts and crafts, science discoveries, writing, music & movement, language and literacy explorations, math activities, outdoor adventures, and much more. Instruction is delivered to individual children, small groups and in a large group setting.

Our infants and toddlers will have endless opportunities for language development and social skills while being cared for by specially trained staff with education in infant and toddler development. They will explore a variety of planned activities such as; arts and crafts, playtime, language explorations, songs, self-help skills, outdoor adventures, and much more.
