About

CURRENT OPENINGS: For children 2 and up only! Next infant opening is anticipated in January 2026!
Hello parents, and welcome to Lakewood Little Children's Academy, our loving daycare and preschool in Rockville, MD.
About Me:
I'm the owner and main child care provider here, with 13 years of experience and a bachelor’s degree in education. I was also a school teacher for 7 years, and I've always had a passion for working with children. I love to see kids growing up with me and find fulfillment in helping them learn. As a mother of two, I understand the importance of a safe and stimulating environment for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. My commitment extends beyond providing quality child care; I strive to support families, fostering a strong partnership for your child's growth.
Mission and Philosophy:
My mission is to offer a secure and nurturing space that fosters the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development of every child entrusted to me. I believe in a child-centered, play-based curriculum, while also using elements of the Montessori Method to create a well-rounded learning environment. At my daycare, I prioritize children's individual learning paces and preferences. With my strong background in education, I know how to make adjustments in my teaching style to cater to each child's individual needs. My goal is to nurture your child's natural curiosity and passion for lifelong learning!
Facilities and Location:
My family child care program is operated in a single-family house that offers a dedicated child care space on the ground level. I have a spacious backyard as well, to ensure children can play outside. Located near Lakewood Country Club and Lakewood Elementary School, my home daycare offers easy access to the I-270, W Montgomery Rd (Route 28), Darnestown Rd, and Shady Grove Rd (I’m near the Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center and Johns Hopkins University - Montgomery County).
Program:
My hours of operation are from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, and Lakewood Little Children's Academy welcomes children aged 4 weeks to 5 years. I provide both full-time and part-time care, as well as a preschool program, to accommodate diverse family needs. I offer nutritious meals including breakfast, lunch, and snacks, all peanut-free and tree nut-free to ensure children with allergies are safe (and those are already included in the tuition!) While English is the primary language spoken, I am also fluent in Farsi. Though not a bilingual daycare, I’m happy to introduce a foreign language and culture to your child, if you so choose. I would love to welcome you and your little ones into our nurturing daycare family! Please don't hesitate to contact me on CareLuLu.

I can’t express enough how thrilled we are with this daycare! We knew we had found something special from the moment we enrolled our child. The owner creates an environment that is warm, nurturing, and incredibly supportive. The care and attention each child receives here are simply unparalleled. One of the standout features of this daycare is the excellent quality of the food provided. Every meal is thoughtfully planned and prepared, ensuring that the children receive nutritious and delicious options every day. It’s comforting to know that our children are not only enjoying their meals but also benefiting from a well-balanced diet that supports their growth and development. The activities at this daycare are another highlight. Each day is filled with engaging and educational experiences that keep the children excited and stimulated. From creative arts and crafts to interactive learning sessions and outdoor play, there’s never a dull moment. She truly understands the importance of a well-rounded schedule that combines fun with learning, helping the kids develop socially and intellectually. She herself is a gem. Her dedication and passion for childcare shine through in every interaction. She is always attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in the well-being of each child. The entire team at this daycare reflects this same level of commitment and care, creating a safe and loving environment for which we are so grateful. In summary, this daycare is a fantastic choice for any parent looking for a place where their child will be well-fed, engaged, and loved. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend it to anyone seeking exceptional childcare. Thank you for everything you do!
Response from the provider:

My son Jacob has attended this daycare program since he was about six months old. During that time, Jacob has connected with the caregiver, and, similarly, I can tell that she truly cares for him as well. Each day, she plays with Jacob by encouraging him to discover and learn through engagement with various toys and songs. When my husband or I pick Jacob up at the end of the day, his mood is enthusiastic and happy, indicating that he has enjoyed his day. She maintains a large, clean, and well-lit space to run her daycare program and I trust that Jacob is well cared for and safe under her supervision.
Response from the provider:
Dear Sara, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with me. I am dedicated to ensuring a safe and enriching environment not only for Jacob but also for all the children in my childcare program. I appreciate your trust in my commitment.
