About

We are a family-based daycare on Travilah Road in the North Potomac/Rockville area. My husband and I have been caring for children for a very long time! From the time our own children were little 34 years ago, we have always have many children around that we cared for - those of family, friends, and neighbors. We continued the tradition after we became a licensed daycare provider a few years ago. Our own 2 children are grown now and have successful careers in the DC area. Our philosophy is that we genuinely love and respect each child. Even babies and little ones can sense when the adult is really engaged with them. Our belief is that when children feel loved and cared for, they are happy -and do much better with all aspects of their day, such as transitions, drop off/pick up time, eating, napping, potty training, socializing, and learning. We pay special attention to the individual cues and need of each baby and child, and are able to adapt the environment to match individual needs. We collaborate with the children's families on any special requests from parents. Also, we provide healthy, hot home cooked vegetarian meals that are cooked fresh daily. You do not need to send any packed foods! We feel that children learn through play, movement, and through opportunities to socialize with other children. We stimulate our children with age-appropriate toys, have story and music time, teach them how to count using manipulatives and teach them reading. We also go on trips to the nearby parks mostly daily when the weather permits. To learn more about our daycare, please schedule a visit soon.

We have loved Harsha’s day care. She does an amazing job in caring for the babies and older children. Her home-cooked food is healthy, wholesome, nutritive and delicious. She keeps the children as her own and goes above and beyond in caring for them. She teaches the basics of numbers and alphabet to kids, manners and daily living habits. They have a clean, welcoming house to look after the children. Please contact me for references.

Harsha and Rajen Purohit have provided excellent care to our daughter too. As licensed daycare providers, they not only teach kids the basics, ABCs, numbers, etc, they treat the kids and their families as their own, as a part of their own family. Our daughter loves going to the park with them, playing with her friends, and the Purohit family members. Our daughter has learned nursery rhymes in English, and Gujarati both. One of the nicest things... more

Harsha and her husband are gems.. they really love and take care of all the kids. They really know my child's personality and needs. They provide freshly made healthy lunch full of grains, vegetables, lenthils, rice, yogurt etc. which my little ones loves. They provide fresh fruit snacks too! They have done a great job with potty training my child who is under the age of 2 and already going! Also they take all the kids to nearby parks- daily,... more
