CURRENT OPENINGS: For children 2 and up only!
Next infant opening is anticipated in May 2025!
About Me:
Welcome to Amberfield Kids Playhouse, my home daycare and preschool in Gaithersburg, MD! Im the owner and main caregiver and I run a safe, affordable, and educational child care program.
I have 16 years of experience working as a teacher and 5 years of child care experience working at another licensed facility before opening my own daycare.
I hold a Masters degree in Educational Psychology and Im CPR and First-aid certified. If necessary, I can also administer medication to all children in our care since I'm a MAT trained.
Program:
My daycare is open from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday (but I can extend until 6:00 pm if needed). I provide full-time and part-time care for infants as young as 1 week, as well as toddlers through preschoolers up to 5 years old. Snacks are served to all children attending my program (included in the tuition), and I run a peanut-free daycare.
Curriculum:
I believe that children learn through play, and thus I follow the Play-based teaching philosophy. I strive to offer a personalized early learning experience, tailored to each child's unique needs.
My goal is to help each one of my students build self-esteem as well as develop language and motor skills. I have a curriculum with daily activities, focusing on shapes, colors, numbers, drawing, and tracing. Kids learn to write by tracing letters and practice reading new words. I also teach Science and Sign Language.
In addition to English, I also speak Farsi/Persian and upon your request, I can expose your child to this foreign language (this is not a bilingual program, but this is a wonderful opportunity for your little one to learn a foreign language).
My space is inviting and stimulating, with vibrant carpets and charming wall decor. I have set it up beautifully by adding learning posters and decals. I have plenty of toys for little ones, including big activity sets and handheld items like blocks and puzzles. The space feels cozy with photos of kids and holiday cards from parents.
Location:
Amberfield Kids Playhouse is in the Amberfield neighborhood of Gaithersburg, MD. My facility is right off Great Seneca Hwy (route 119), near Muddy Branch Rd. Im just a few minutes away from the I-270 (Washington National Pike) and the I-370, so your commute to work will be convenient.
Thanks for reading my profile, please send an email or call to book a tour. I look forward to meeting your family!

I’m so grateful we could get a spot at this daycare. it means the world to have people who not only care for our son, but love him too. He loves going to this daycare and even asks about going on the weekend. We have had nothing but a great experience in the year he’s been there, and his pre-K teachers said they noticed a very positive change after he started going (transitioning from a nanny watching him at our home).

The daycare owner, and her helper, are so caring and dedicated to individual care. They are excellent in communicating any needs and also sharing fun moments from my daughter’s day. It’s never easy to leave your children but she makes it as seamless as possible. My daughter is always excited to go to daycare!

The owner and her staff treat my son like their own! They give him all of the love, support, and attention while doing the same for each child there! My son runs into her place every day with excitement to spend his day there!

We love the owner and her staff! They have worked so hard to help our daughter adjust and feel more comfortable! Our daughter is always happy to arrive and seems to enjoy herself while at daycare! She knows so much about children and communicates so well. We came to her from another in home daycare that was closing unexpectedly, and I feel like it was a blessing in disguise! Couldn’t ask for a better place.

This caregiver is the absolute best. Our child has been at her daycare for almost four years. She is the most loving and caring provider and provides a safe and fun environment for the kids. She treats our child and the other kids at her daycare like her own family. We are so lucky to have her!

The owner and her staffs are very warm and caring. My kid went to her daycare since 6 weeks-old and we were treated like family. I never feel worried and sometimes think she takes care of my kid even more careful than I do. My kid loves it there and always wants to go to school and never wants to leave.

Our daughter started with this daycare when she was 7 months old. She received outstanding care and love every single day. The owner treats the children she cares for like family. Our daughter quickly bonded with her, and we did too. She's great at communicating with parents: we always looked forward to our daily photo updates, and she always provided a great rundown of our daughter's day at pickup time. There is such a warm and comforting... more

Couldn't be happier with our experience - the caregiver is so loving and cares deeply for our son as though he was her own! She has been so helpful with getting him onto a regular schedule for eating/naps, and has made great suggestions for things we can work on at home to compliment daily activities. Our son is so excited to arrive everyday and gives her the biggest smiles and snuggles - we can just tell he loves being there! Would highly... more

The caregiver was amazing and our daughter loved going there. The place was clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. When our daughter comes homes from daycare she calls out the caregiver's name. We unfortunately are moving for a new job or we would not have left. I highly recommend her and we will miss her.

Our 2yo son has been going to this daycare since 11mo and we cannot be happier that we found this place. We desired a home daycare where our child would feel at ease but also learn how to be a little human while making friends. The provider and the rest of the caregivers treat us and our child like their own family and it is very evident how all the children are actually adored and loved. This caregiver is very accommodating and understanding of... more

Our almost two-year-old daughter has been with this provider since April of this year and her level of care and attention has been fantastic. We are thrilled to have found this daycare and would recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive, clean, and well-run home daycare provider for their children. Our daughter loves this provider (and it's so apparent that the provider loves her!) and she loves going to daycare to spend time with her... more

We are so happy that we found this provider, and I can not express how happy we are with her service. My older daughter has been with this provider for 2 years, and every time she went there it was as if she is going to her second home. This provider is so professional, nice, and knowledgeable. She cares for kids both when they are there, and when they are home with parents. She shares very helpful tips, that I'd recommend to use them, and you... more

I have an 11 months infant that has been going to this daycare since she was 8 months. I don’t think it’s possible to find a better provider, because this provider and her team are just excellent. My child gets excited the second she sees her door. Words cannot describe how much I am grateful for what they are doing every day. I leave to work with peace of mind, knowing my daughter is being taking care of by family. They are truly amazing!!

My 2.5 year old daughter has been going to this daycare for few months now and we couldn't be any happier. Except couple of months of going to daycare before this, she didn't have much experience of staying without us. Yet, she had a very smooth transition from staying home to part time daycare. This provider always makes a loving joyfull environment for kids which help them feel like home while they are playing and learning. All along, not only... more

This provider has built an excellent environment and day care.
I can't say enough about her and how extraordinary she is as a care giver. She and her family were so caring towards kids. She started watching my 1 year from last February. We noticed great progress in my daughter for last 5 months. she started speaking words. This provider is so natural with children and she would send me pictures of my baby to let me know that she was doing... more

This provider is a very professional and kind person. I had a great experience with her. I have two 7-month old twins. The provider and I met once before starting the day care process so she can see the babies and get a feel for them. She made a tour of her home day care and responded to all my questions. The home day care is on the smaller side but is colorful and well-equipped. On a daily basis, she always sent me text messages and pictures of... more

Suffice to say that this provider has become another family for my child. I would not have been able to cary one as a working mom if it wasnt for her. I know for a fact my child enjoys her time at this place and I would not have it any other way.
