About Me
Dear parents: welcome to Northwood Park Little Children's House, my licensed home daycare and preschool in Silver Spring, MD. I am a mother myself, and as such, I strive to provide a safe, loving, and educational environment for your children. I’m a professional caregiver with 17 years of experience and I hold an Associate's Degree in Secretarial Science. I am CPR and First Aid certified, as well as MAT certified, so I can administer medication to your little one if needed. My goal is to offer you and your child more than just safe and high-quality child care. I will also provide the loving and nurturing environment that young children need, as well as the foundations for a life of learning!
Curriculum
At my family child care and preschool program, we provide care, but also focus on early childhood education. I take a play-based approach to early care and education so your child will partake in many fun and stimulating activities. However, our program is designed not only to entertain my little students, but also to help them learn and grow. Daily activities will include story time, math and science, arts and crafts, music, shapes, colors, reading books, sensory activities, tummy time, movement, and of course lots of play (indoor, and outdoors weather permitting). Our age-appropriate activities promote children’s early learning to build social, physical, and emotional development. My daycare has different rooms so everything is organized (i.e., kitchen where the children have their lunch and snacks, nap room, and main play room). My space is well decorated and furnished with bright carpets, wall decor, and educational charts posted. There are also larger toys, trucks, and activity sets for toddlers and smaller functional toys and blocks for infants and younger children.
Program
Northwood Park Little Children's House is a year-round home-based daycare, open Monday-Friday from 7:30 am until 5:30 pm. I offer both full-time and part-time child care for children between the ages of 12 weeks through 5 years old (including a preschool curriculum for preschoolers). I can also provide before and after school care for older kids, up to 12 years old (my home is near Forest Knolls elementary school). We’re also open in the summer and have a fun summer camp program! I provide lunch and snacks (included in the tuition), and offer a peanut-free environment. If you have more than 1 child, I will offer a sibling discount, and I also offer a discount on the regular tuition for families with members of the military or teachers!
Location
Northwood Park Little Children's House is conveniently located in the Northwood Park neighborhood in Silver Spring, MD. My home is just a few minutes away from the Capital Beltway (I-495), near University Blvd W and Colesville Rd. The closest elementary school is Forest Knolls Elementary School (a few minutes’ walk from my home). To learn more, please call or send an email, I look forward to meeting you!

Our son began attending this daycare just before his first birthday. The caregiver was incredibly patient and loving with him and the other kids. She helped him learn his colors, shapes and numbers, and he came home happy every day. This is a wonderful family daycare and is highly recommended.

I think the fact that we now consider her and her family to be part of ours speaks for itself. My only complaint is that we just had a daughter and that she is booked for the foreseeable future.

The caregiver is wonderful! She’s loving, great with all ages, and puts a lot of time into planning cute activities. She’s willing to work with kids and their nap schedule and she’s been so flexible and easy going. Our daughter is so happy with her!

She is absolutely amazing! My kiddos adore her, and it’s such a relief to know that I’m dropping them off somewhere where they feel safe, happy, and loved. She loves the kids like her own, and her home feels like a second home to my kids. So grateful for her!

We’ve had a great experience with this Family Day Care. Ms H. makes the day care feel like home. She provides children with love, guidance, and pays attention to the little things that matter. I’m extremely pleased with the operations of this day care and the quality care that’s provided. My wife and I are expecting another child in a few months and we’ll bring him to Ms H’s as soon as appropriate. For a day care, I’m giving a rating of 5 in all categories. It’s not a school, so my rating for Curriculum seems appropriate with that in mind. You will be happy with the day care; we certainly are!

This provider is an extremely caring, loving, and devoted caretaker. She is very communicative and is always friendly and has a smile on her face. She works with us to make sure our child is on the right track. She gives each child time and attention, as if that child is the only one she is caring for. She is also very calm and patient with the kids. We highly recommend her daycare!

We feel so lucky we found this local daycare. The provider is wonderful with our 11-month-old, who has been with her since he was 8 months. As first time parents - in a pandemic! - we were very nervous to be away from him, this provider was really attentive and out our minds at ease. He adores the provider and has a great time with the other kids. Plus, the provider got him napping and eating on a regular schedule, which has made our lives so much easier. We also love that the daycare feels like a small community, and a home rather than a big corporate daycare.

Our son is very happy at this day care, he has a smile on his face when we drop him off and pick him up. It is clear that the providers love and take good care of him. As first time parents, we have a lot of questions and we feel comfortable asking them for advice.

We are so happy with this daycare! Our son was in another home-based facility before enrolling here, and our experience with this provider has been better by every measure. It is clear that she loves the kids and my son just adores her. It's hard to leave your baby, but I know he is in safe hands when I drive away. My son has also learned things at daycare that make home a little easier. He's on a great nap and meal schedule and is gentle with other kids. He's a toddler and things aren't always easy, but it's clear that he's learning great skills even while I can't be there to teach him. Another big plus is the small size. I know my son is getting attentive care, and that all the other parents and children are great, too!

My son started with here when he was 3 1/2 months old. Being my first child, I was a nervous wreck when I had to go back to work. But this provider has made the transition a smooth one. Now, I am totally comfortable dropping him off in the mornings and I don't worry at all. My son lights up when he sees her and he's always smiling when I pick him up. She truly cares about him and that is what was most important to me in a daycare. She also helped to get him on a great schedule with feedings and naps and that has helped me out a ton at home. I am so thankful I found this daycare, as finding someone you trust to watch your baby is always a hard decision to make!
