About

Elham's Home Daycare is a licensed home daycare in Bethesda, MD. We offer full-time child care for infants as young as 3 months, toddlers, and preschoolers until 5 years old. We are open Mon-Fri 7:30am to 6pm and we're located near Massachusetts Ave and Little Falls Parkway (near Westland Middle School and the Little Falls Library). We believe that every child has a great potential and capacity for learning across all developmental domains: physical, emotional, social and cognitive. We help children grow and learn through love, patience, and understanding. We know that adults play an important role in laying the foundation for lifelong learning success. Our priority is to guide each child during each stage of growth and help them to develop their intelligence, keeping in mind their needs and interests. We offer a bilingual environment and emphasize the importance of learning a second language; in addition to English, we teach Persian and Spanish. Learning a second language helps children become independent, confident, and helps develop a high self-esteem. Elham's Home Daycare is a small family child care program, and are in process of getting accredited by NAFCC. Safety is a priority and we've received all the important trainings including: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Emergency Preparedness and Planning, Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED. We're also proud to offer an Inclusive Early Childhood Education Program, to focus on family diversity, and to support breastfeeding in child care.

Our son attended daycare here for about 9 months while my husband was on a contract position in DC. We were so fortunate to find this daycare. We had done a “name brand” daycare before - and I was initially nervous about switching to in-home but I’m so glad we did. It felt like my son really became a part of the family here. I liked how there was a range of ages of the children - it allowed him to stretch himself to be more like the “big kids”... more

Apart from the birth of our baby a little over a year ago, this caregiver and her family have been the biggest blessing. We have been at this daycare since our baby was 3 months old and they have treated him with such love since day 1. provider is very knowledgable and actually taught me so much as a first time Mom. She has helped us figure out how to deal with challenges- whether its sleep, food or little unforeseen baby temper tantrums. She is... more

We are not ones to typically give 5 star ratings unless expectations are exceeded and that is exactly what we get with this provider! We used a nanny during the early months and then switched to a larger daycare center when our little one was a bit older. But around the toddler age, we found the larger setting was not what we wanted for our little one. We found this provider and could not be more pleased with how much our daughter has grown with... more

We sent our son to this daycare from the time he was about three months old until he was16 months. We were incredibly happy with the experience. This provider is great with the children, plans plenty of fun and educational activities, and our son had really developed a fantastic bond with her. We have never had to worry about safety or any of the nightmare stories you often hear about daycare. Could not be more pleased.

This provider and her staff were a godsend to us. As first time parents we were very anxious about going back to work and finding care for our 3 month old. We were deciding between keeping our baby home with a nanny or placing her in a small child care center. We ended up choosing this provider because she and her staff created such a warm and loving environment in their in-home child care center encouraging interactive play with the the other... more

We can't recommend this provider enough! Our son (15 months) has been with her since he was only 12 weeks old, and we've never had a reason to worry about his care. She's extremely warm and loving with the kids. My son loves going to daycare. He's all smiles whenever we pull up to her house and at home he's always saying her name and the names of his playmates.

This was more than a daycare for my child; it was a second home. He not only loves the providers but respects them and they respect him in return. They have patiently and lovingly helped him to become more patient with himself, to be more respectful, polite and to be a good friend to others. They are so creative and always prepared with some new activity for them to try. This daycare is the best peace of mind a parent can have. After searching... more

This is a lovely home-base daycare, with a warm and safe environment for the little ones. I highly recommend this facility, especially for the age range of few-months to two years of age.
