OPENINGS: We have a short-term opening for 2 years old and above until April 27th, 2025.
Welcome to Veirs Mill Little Kids Place, our licensed home daycare and preschool in Silver Spring, MD. We’re located right off Veirs Mill Rd (route 586), in the Connecticut Avenue Estate neighborhood. We're just a minute drive away from Connecticut Ave (route 185), and we also have easy access to Randolph Rd and Georgia Ave (route 97), so your daily commute to work will be convenient!
About Us:
I’m the owner and main caregiver and I have almost a decade of child care and early childhood education experience. I’m a mom of 2 with CPR & First-aid certifications and an Associate's Degree in Early Childcare. Our daycare creates a comfortable atmosphere where parents can feel safe and assured that their children will be well taken care of. Our daycare feels like a home away from home and offers a very nurturing environment for children.
Curriculum:
Veirs Mill Little Kids Place follows the play-based learning approach, allowing kids to learn through play. We read with children, and learn the letters of the alphabet, numbers, colors, and shapes. We also do various fun and educational activities, such as identifying different animals visually and with their voices as well.
We enjoy outdoor craft projects and nature exploration activities. When we go outside, we search for materials to use in our projects. After returning indoors, we gather for a show and tell session, where everyone shares their discoveries and creations from our outdoor adventures.
There’s a nearby community playground where the children can play outside, and we have outdoor fun every day if the weather permits.
Our Program:
Veirs Mill Little Kids Place is open all throughout the year from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Mondays to Fridays. We provide full-time and part-time care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers between the age of 6 weeks and 5 years old. To prevent possible allergies, we maintain a peanut and tree-nut free environment.
Our Facility:
Our daycare is very bright and clean, with plenty of toys for children of all ages. We have a spacious area where children can play, and our facility is well-decorated with many colorful posters and artwork. We have organized bins for toys, puzzles, blocks, and flashcards, and there is a library of books for circle time.
Please contact us through CareLuLu to get your registration fee waived! Call or email to schedule a tour, so you can come in and see for yourself if it is a good fit for you!

The owner is an amazing loving and caring teacher to our kid. I can’t believe we were lucky enough to find such a gem. The kids love her, the daycare is so tidy and clean, and she communicates very clearly with the families. She even hosts little kid graduations which is just above and beyond IMO.

Our has been attending this daycare for almost a year now. The owner is wonderful. Our son loves her and she takes such good care of him (and all the kids)! She takes them to the playground every day, plans educational activities, and has helped our son meet his major physical milestones (sitting/crawling/etc.). I cannot say enough good things about her and we are so grateful for her!

She was such a wonderful caregiver to our baby, who started at 5 months old and stayed for about a year. My daughter loves her, and it was clear my baby was in a safe, clean and caring environment. She gave detailed reports every day and was easy to reach at all times. It’s great that she’s right next to a playground too. We will miss her and highly recommend her daycare (we only left for family logistics reasons, and it was a very difficult... more

We loved sending our toddler (2 years old) to this daycare! The owner and her teachers were amazing and kind, truly cared about not only our toddler but our whole family (I was 9 months pregnant at the time). The daycare is clean and well-organised, they have a stimulating schedule, my son would come home having learned new songs and skills. If we hadn’t had another school lined up for my son that was closer to our home, I would have continued... more

High Quality Consistent Care at an Affordable Price and Convenient location. My son Tyler attended this daycare from 3 months old and we couldn’t be happier with the high level of care and comfort that was given to him. Tyler grew into a Confident and Happy little boy. The caregiver went above and beyond to make sure Tyler met his milestone . She has a Birthday party for every child attending her daycare. This is a reflection of the love and... more

Our family was so lucky to find this Child Care. My two kids attended starting when they were 3 months old. Above all the owner treat all the children with so much care and love and made me so comfortable having my kids there. Her kindness and care for the children was so evident through her actions and by how excited my kids were to go to daycare everyday. She even made sure to make them feel extra special on their birthday having a celebration... more

We absolutely love her -- both my children (1 and 3) are there now and they happily rush in when we drop them off and my son (1 year old) is reluctant to give up his hugs when I pick them up-- their obvious comfort and love for her make it so much easier to be away from them during the day. She sends daily reports for my younger, and monthly progress reports for my elder, and plenty of daily activities, indoors and outside. Great communication... more

My daughter began attending this daycare when she was about 3 months old. She's been going there for the past 5 months, and we couldn't be happier. The owner and her assistant are very warm and caring towards the children. They are flexible about the babies' schedules, and they take them outside for walks everyday weather permitting, read to them, and engage them in age-appropriate play and learning activities. My daughter is always happy to see... more

This provider provided wonderful care of our son, Gus until he was 18 months. She had a great curriculum for the kids and a wide variety of toys and books. Because of her, our son learned to love books, tried more foods and flourished. She could always get him to eat more foods at her house than ours, and talk more there as well. She taught him manners and right from wrong. It was a wonderful experience, plus she lived next door to a park!

This provider watched our daughter from age 3 months to 15 months when we moved. We couldn't have asked for a better caregiver for our daughter. She treated our daughter like her own family and we felt she was so loved under her care. She went above and beyond - her home was very clean and organized. Her daily care was great and I appreciated the update outlining everything our daughter did that day. From the small details of having coffee for... more

This owner provided the highest level of care we could ask for, she is warm, loving and kind. We never had to worry about our son, who was with her from 3-21 months. She was the best caregiver we could have asked for, she even threw him a birthday party. She provided a great environment where our son thrived, it was joy to have her as part of our lives.
