Message From The Owner
Dear parents, welcome to Wheaton Hills Children's Den, my licensed home-based daycare and preschool in the Wheaton Hills neighborhood of Silver Spring, MD. Located conveniently near the intersection of Georgia Ave, Veirs Mill Rd, and University Blvd W, and just a minute away from the Wheaton subway station, my child care facility is in a great location for parents commuting to Washington DC, or living between Glenview, North Kensington, and Wheaton-Glenmont. As a dedicated provider and mother of two, I've spent the last decade nurturing, teaching, and loving children as if they were my own. I hold a Child Development Associate's Degree and I decided to open my own child care facility simply because children bring me joy! I'm not just a daycare; I strive to be a home away from home for your little ones, offering a warm, safe, and stimulating environment for children.
Program & Facility
Wheaton Hills Children's Den caters to infants, toddlers, preschoolers and school-agers between the ages of 0 weeks (newborn babies) and 12 years. Our schedule options include full-time, part-time, before & after school care, as well as drop-in care options, ensuring flexibility for busy families. Our in-home daycare is designed with safety and fun in mind. From our multipurpose room for diverse activities to our separate nap room for proper rest, every space is thoughtfully designed. The outdoor play area is great for exploration and adventure and is fenced to ensure safety at all times.
Daily Activities
A typical day at Wheaton Hills Children's Den is structured to provide a balance of educational activities, play, and rest. After a welcoming free time, we gather for breakfast, followed by handwashing to promote good hygiene. Circle time is next, with engaging arts and crafts activities that stimulate creativity and social skills. Outdoor play is a crucial part of our day, so we head to our backyard playground, when the weather allows it. It's not just play; it's an opportunity for children to explore, learn, and develop physically. Afterwards, we focus on cleanliness, diaper changes, and then shift to reading and other learning activities, tailored to engage and educate our young learners. After lunch, children nap in our separate nap room, ensuring that each child is well-rested. The afternoon includes snack time, music, and a variety of play activities, both indoors and outdoors. Thank you for reading about my child care home, contact me on CareLuLu and get our $50 registration fee waived!

Both our girls were very well taken care of, the curriculum is on point, when my oldest started at the new... more

This family child care program is amazing. As a first-time parent, I was very apprehensive about sending my first child anywhere for care. But like most parents, I needed childcare. The caregiver took wonderful care of my child and all the other children. The children also did artwork and danced everyday. I also received daily picture updates, which I can tell you that most daycares do not provide, a folder at the end of the week including all... more

She is a wonderful, caring and and very special daycare provider. She creates a safe and special experience for little ones to thrive.

She and the other caregivers were so welcoming to us and they cared for our child for 3 years in the daycare. She is very attentive, supportive and creates a caring, safe and loving environment for... more

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found this caregiver and fully entrust her day care to not only watch over our two children, but also develop their knowledge and skills appropriate for their age. Her kindness and hospitality make everyone feel like family. We cannot recommend her more highly.

Both of my kids have been at this daycare since they were three months old and we could not be happier with the care, learning, and love they receive there. This Family Daycare is a huge part of their development and lives and we are so grateful. The owner and all of the staff go above and beyond to provide a safe, healthy, educational, and fun environment during critical development years. Our kids love it, we love it, and we cannot recommend... more

Our twins loved their time here! This provider is wonderful. She creates a warm and nurturing environment for little kids. She did a good job modifying the environment for the public health crisis as well. Our kids still ask about her and love to visit with her and her family. Highly recommend this daycare!

This provider is amazing and provided a very safe and loving environment for our daughter. My daughter went to this daycare when she was 4 months old and stayed there until about 2.5 years old. They do a lot of educational activities as well as a lot of play times in groups which is great for their socialization. Overall, the provider gave a safe environment for our daughter and treated her like family which one extremely important to us!
