About Us
Thanks for your interest in Gunners Lake Village Daycare, our home daycare in Germantown, MD. Our child care facility is located in the Gunners Lake Village neighborhood, right off Wisteria Dr / Waring Station Rd. We're conveniently located near Great Seneca Hwy, Middlebrook Road, and the Washington National Pike (I-270).
I’m the owner and main caregiver of this loving and nurturing home daycare. I’m a licensed child care provider with almost 2 decades of professional experience. I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and I'm also CPR & First-aid certified, so you can be sure that your child is safe in my care.
I also hold a Maryland Child Care Credential Level 2, a program that recognizes child care providers who increase their qualifications beyond the requirements of state licensing and registration regulations.
Curriculum
We follow the Play-based teaching philosophy, and we have a preschool curriculum that focuses on getting children prepared for school. We pride ourselves on how advanced our little students are (i.e. children that are under two years old know how to count up to 50!).
In addition to English, we can also teach our students the Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi languages (upon parents’ request). Our daycare has a fenced backyard and we're near a community park/playground where we can spend our outdoor playtime.
Program
Gunners Lake Village Daycare is open year-round from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday. We offer various child care options to accommodate working parents such as full-time and part-time care for infants young as 2 weeks, as well as toddlers and preschoolers up to 5 years old, including children with special needs. Children enrolled in our program are provided with peanut and tree-free snacks, which are already included in the tuition.
We can also offer drop-in care for your occasional child care needs. Before and after school care are also both available for school-age kids, up to 12 years old (we’re just 2 minutes’ drive from S. Christa McAuliffe Elementary School).
Our facility has a sanitizing station with masks, gloves, a thermometer, and bottles of cleaning solutions. We wipe down high chairs and tables after meals and other surfaces to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses.
Thanks for taking the time to read our profile :) Please contact us through CareLuLu to book a tour!

This provider is really great with our 12 month old daughter. We feel very safe with our child in her care. The pictures she sends me during the day are nice and I really like that the front door is always locked and is also monitored with a security camera. I would recommend this day care to anyone.

This provider is looking after our baby girl full time. It was a big decision for us to place her in full time day care at the age of 9 months and we were very nervous about it. This provider made the transition a lot easier for both and me and our baby. She is very experienced and patiently worked through the transitioning process with us, meeting our needs whenever needed (she let me stop by to breastfeed the baby when my baby was still getting used to the bottle, etc.). She communicates promptly and I can now rest fully assured that our baby girl gets well-rounded care whilst in this provider's care.
Response from the provider:
thank you so much Nadia for your your kind words for me , it is my pleasure to take care of your baby doll and thank you for letting me take care of her

We transitioned my then 1 year old son to this daycare from a childcare center last year, right as things shut down for Covid. She was extremely understanding of our changing start date as we figured out how to safely navigate all the restrictions. When we started, she provided us with a daily report (and pictures!) so we knew how he was doing each day and his schedule. She accommodated his food allergies, and we know he is safe in her care. We have seen him grow so much verbally, and it has been wonderful socially for him to have time with other children. Our son has been incredibly happy at this place, and he is happy each morning at drop off, which makes us happy as parents!
Response from the provider:
thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to have a cutie pie in my daycare he is very sweet
little man and I will always keep him and other kids safe and provide them learning environment in their daily routine thanks again

A great childcare provider! My son has been attending this home daycare since he was 6 months old and he is now 14 months old. She sets an appropriate curriculum for each child she cares for and I can see the effects shine through at home. For example, my son just started bringing me books and putting them in my hand and sitting in my lap as his way of communicating that he wants me to read to him. I could knew that this meant they did regular reading at daycare. Her children's area is always kept appropriately clear of hazards and is clean. I have never had any concerns for my son's safety or wellbeing when he was in her care. She is also easy to work with and is easily accessible via text or phone call for communication. She will provide you with any updates you desire on your child's care (diaper changes, naps, meals, mood, etc) during his/her daycare hours. She takes care of a diverse and pleasant group kids!
Response from the provider:
Thank you so much for writing a review for me

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to raise him

My daughter has been attending this day care for nearly 4 years. This provider is great with all the kids, a “home away from home” type of feel, something you want in the place you leave your child. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home daycare!

Thank you so much shalisa for giving me the opportunity to take care of a your baby girl

We have been taking our baby to this provider since he was 3 months old. We love her like family. Her home is clean and neat. She loves my son as if he were her own and he loves her right back! Even after we moved, we kept our baby there because we knew no one else would take care of our baby the way that this provider does. She even does some school work with him to help him learn his phonics, numbers and colors. I am so grateful to have her. Any child in her care is in great hands!
Response from the provider:
Thank you for much Victoria I really appreciate that you took some time for this great review to make me stand up so high it is my pleasure to take care of your baby in my loving daycare thanks again
