About

Dear parents, welcome to the Academic Children's Center, our child care center and preschool in Jessup, MD. Our center is conveniently located for your commute since we just a few minutes away from the I-95, Patuxtent Fwy (route 32), and route 1 Washington Blvd (near the Autumn Woods and Asbury Woods neighborhoods). We are a Montessori-inspired daycare and preschool and we follow a child holistic development program that includes physical intelligence, mental intelligence, and emotional intelligence. With professionally trained Montessori teachers and child care providers who have more than 15 years of experience, you can be sure your child will have the best environment to learn and grow!
Curriculum:
At Academic Children's Center, your child will get a head start for kindergarten! We have age-appropriate facilities and the latest equipment to support children in a safe, fun and nurturing environment. Teachers and caregivers are committed to providing stimulating learning activities that reflect the unique needs of each child. There are four main areas in the pre-primary program: Language, Math, Practical Life and Sensorial. We also emphasize Cultural Studies, Arts, Music, Science, Geography. With the guiding principle of all-round development, we also focus on activities out of classroom. We offer field trips, practical demonstrations and other out of the classroom activities on a regular basis. Our approach stimulates the minds of children that will help them to think and act independently.
Philosophy:
To ensure the best quality care and early education, we have designed the following pillars based on the Montessori philosophy: * highly qualified and trained teachers and staff: at the center, we are all early childhood professionals, dedicated to the development of every individual child. Our staff have training and qualifications specific to the care and education of children infants to 6 years old. * individualized early learning programs: we believe that each child has unique interests, skill levels and needs. We are fully equipped to identify and fulfill each child's aspirations. Besides state-of-the-art child care facilities, we also have a computer lab and a partnership with one of the most comprehensive online math sites, which provides us with unlimited questions in more than 2000 topics! * physical development: we believe that the development of fine and gross motor skills is linked to children's activities but also nutrition habits. We thus help little ones learn about nutrition early on, so they can make healthy choices. * state-of-the-art child care facilities: our facilities are constantly upgraded ensuring a safe and secure environment for all children. Using the Montessori philosophy,our activities and facilities help guide children towards independence and a love of learning.We have large educational play structures specifically designed with child safety and child development. Thank you so much for reading, please send an email to schedule a visit. We look forward to meeting you and your little one very soon!

I highly recommend this school. we loved the staff and most of all has outstanding level of education. They have much higher standards of education. They guided my daughter in most important years of their lives not just academic parts but also in developing confidence, social emotional development and kindness, responsibilities and honesty. The school was very well structured for all age groups. It's best for providing good education,... more

My daughter attended this center for over 2 years. At first we were very happy. However, in the last 7 months that she was there, she had 4 different teachers not counting the teachers that filled in the gaps between teachers. It is too much change for any child and my daughter regressed in potty training and started having daily nightmares. We had 2 teachers disappear overnight with no communication from the school so that we could prepare our... more

My 2 1/2 year old daughter has been attending this center since she 3 months old. The communication is great and the staff is amazing. The children get to learn about different holidays and learn on their level. My daughter is in the Preschool room and learning Spanish. The teachers focus on preparing the children for school by learning letters, shapes and numbers. My daughter is able to read her name at 2 years old. Everyday she tells us how... more

My children have attended this center for the last 3 years and we couldn't be happier. My oldest son was 4 when he started here and he was very behind academically. He attended this center for 1.5 years and went into kindergarten able to read independently and was placed in first grade math classes. My two younger children still attend, and continue to thrive. Many of the teachers that were there when my children started are still employed there... more

I could not possibly be happier with the care at this center. The teachers are attentive, firm, and caring. My daughter speaks of Miss Judy, as my older daughter spoke of Miss Iram. Despite frowny faces on daily reports, on occasion, due to my "exuberant" children, the girls love all of the teachers and staff. I cannot say enough about the quality of education and the loving atmosphere. My girls were/are part of the growing minority of the... more

My daughter transitioned to this child care center from an in-house daycare when she turned one year old, and the experience has been amazing! Her teachers are a joy to work with! I would recommend this center to anyone looking for QUALITY care!
