About
OPENINGS: We have a short-term opening for 2 years old and above until January 5th, 2025.
Welcome to Woodley Gardens Kids Playhouse, our licensed home-based daycare and preschool in Rockville, MD. Our child care facility is located in the Woodley Gardens neighborhood, right off Nelson St and near Woodley Gardens Park. Your daily commute will be convenient since we're near Washington National Pike (I-270), W Montgomery Ave (route 28), and Hungerford Dr (route 355).
Curriculum
Woodley Gardens Kids Playhouse follows the Play-based teaching philosophy and uses elements of the Creative Curriculum and a cognitive-based early learning program. This helps our young students to learn new skills and develop physical, intellectual, cognitive, and socio-emotional skills.
Your little one will enjoy many individual and group/team activities such as music, shapes, puzzles, coloring, etc., which is a good way to build confidence and grow their social interaction skills. In addition to English, we can also teach your child the Hindi language (however, please note that our daycare is not a bilingual program.)
About Us
I’m the owner and main caregiver of this family child care and preschool program. I have 15 years of professional experience and hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics. I run my daycare with my full-time assistant who has 11 years of experience and a Bachelors in Economics & Political Science. My staff and I are CPR & First-aid certified, so you can be sure that your child is safe and secure at all times.
Philosophy
Our daycare is your baby's home away from home and we focus first and foremost on children’s health and happiness. Our goal is for your little one to reach his/her full potential and develop all valuable skills. We also want them to feel safe and secure while learning and having fun at the same time. We strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment where they can learn and grow.
Program
Our home daycare can provide full-time and part time care for newborn babies, toddlers, and preschoolers up to 5 years old, including children with special needs. We’re open all throughout the year between 7:30 am and 5:30 pm, Mondays through Fridays.
Due to possible allergies, we only serve peanut and tree-nut free lunch and snacks (both included in the tuition). To prevent the spread of the virus and bacteria, we sanitize high chairs and tables after meals and other surfaces. We use soap and water to wash hands and disinfect toys at the end of the day.
Thanks for reading our profile :) Please contact us through CareLuLu to book a tour, we would love to meet you and your little one!

The owner and staff are wonderful. They have so much love for all of the kids and it clearly shows in their interactions with them. my son frequently asks for members of their staff even on weekends which shows me how much he loves them.

This daycare has wonderful staff who really care about my child. I know that when I drop him off in the morning, he will learn something new, have fun with his classmates, and get the attention he needs in a safe and loving environment. The staff have become like family to me and my child - he absolutely loves it here! I highly recommend this daycare.

This is a WONDERFUL daycare! My son loved it here and it felt like dropping him off at a family member’s house (but with more structure and friends). Seeing how much he enjoyed his time there made my transition back to work much easier. It was also easy to build a relationship with his caretakers and the other parents at the daycare because everyone was so kind. I highly recommend it for parents looking for a warm, safe, and interactive daycare... more

The caregiver is very caring, responsible and is highly experienced. She took care of first born. Since I was new mother, I was very anxious. She didn’t only take care of my daughter, she put me at ease as well. I highly recommend her.

This place is AMAZING. The owner is a kind and compassionate care provider and we have seen her positive impact on our son tremendously. They encourage a learning environment and care deeply about the kids. I highly recommend her and our younger children will also be in attendance when they are old enough!

i can’t be more happier with the care and love that this daycare provides to my little one. My baby is constantly learning and always happy to see his teachers and friends at the daycare. They have been really great with my kid and I can tell how much they enjoy taking care of my kid. This place is very warm and loving and as soon as I toured this place in the beginning i knew exactly this place would be awesome. i highly recommend this place

This was a great option for us first-time parents. Drop-offs are made easier when we see the special bond that our daughter has developed with the providers. We appreciate knowing that our daughter is well taken care of and is given opportunities to play, explore and spend time outside. Our daughter also LOVES the food!

Our son loves going to daycare every. Single. Day. He sometimes does not want to leave (especially when they are outside)! I know he is in good hands from the time I drop him off to when I pick him. The caregiver is wonderful at keeping the rooms (and children) clean, providing a safe and fun atmosphere, and always putting play first!!

Both of my kids stayed at this daycare from 3 months old to about 2 years old. As a matter of fact, my 18 month old is still there. I cannot say enough about the owners. They are truly the most caring people you could find to look after your kids. They are like families to us. My boys love them. My older boy still drops by here and there. He would tell the family how much he has missed them... If you are looking for a family daycare, please take... more

My children (two years apart) both attended daycare here beginning when they were six months old to about three or three and a half for each child. From the first meeting and interview, our questions and anxieties were put to rest. Over the years, I have been so appreciative of the individual attention, love, and care given to our children. My kids felt like part of their family and we still stay in touch. Having switched to pre-k due to age, I... more

This is a great home daycare service. The home is clean and sequestered in a safe neighborhood. The children have plenty of age appropriate toys, books, and crafts to interact within both the inside and outside daycare space. The snacks and food are healthy and fun. The daycare providers engage the children in learning activities and games, and often children come home with crafts and academic worksheets they did during the day. The providers... more
