I am the owner/operator of William Tyler Page Daycare, located near the William Tyler Page Elementary School in Silver Spring. Our home-based child care program is open year-round from 7am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Our main goal is to foster independence and healthy development. We tailor our services to each child and respond to their individual needs. Play is used as a means for children to explore their environment.
The first year of the childs life is very precious and significant. We not only want to be present but also meet every need during each stage of their development. Our goal is to ensure that all children have a great day where they are learning and playing, while making new friends. Learning is best accomplished in a place where children are emotionally secure, physically safe, and fun!
Our program has been approved by the MSDE. We are looking forward to promoting appropriate development and strongly preparing children for the next stage of their academic life.
