We provide flexible childcare options to meet your family’s needs:

• Full-time and part-time care

• Kindergarten

• Before- and after-school care

• Care during MCPS closings and snow days (as space allows)

Our programs are open to children from 6 weeks through 5th grade.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to supporting the social, physical, emotional, and academic growth of every child in a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment.

• Other federal government employees with children or grandchildren
  (including Summer Camp and Before/After School Care)

Equal Opportunity & Scholarships

We are proud to be an equal opportunity provider. Finances should never prevent a child from receiving quality care, so scholarship assistance is available for qualifying families.
