Welcome to Matthew Henson Park Family Daycare, my licensed family child care and preschool program in Silver Spring, MD. My daycare is located in Conn Ave Park community, near Matthew Henson State Park. Your commute to work will be very convenient since I’m just 2 minutes’ drive away from Connecticut Ave (route 185) and have easy access to Veirs Mills Rd (route 586) and Parkland Dr.
About Me:
I’m the owner and main caregiver and I have more than 6 years of experience in child care and early childhood education. I’m also CPR & First-aid certified, so you can be sure that your child is always safe under my care. I help families in the area by offering nurturing care and a quality preschool program at an affordable rate. My daycare is a fun learning environment where your child can blossom and have fun.
Program:
Matthew Henson Park Family Daycare is open all year-round from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. I can accommodate full-time and part-time care for kids between the age of 6 weeks and 6 years old. I can also accept school-age kids and provide before and after school care.
At my daycare, I follow a routine that includes all important activities for young children. By following a schedule, children will have a structured daily routine that will make them feel comfortable in our learning environment.
6:00AM to 8:30AM: Free play time
8:30AM to 9:00AM: Diaper change time and cleaning

I cannot say enough good things about this provider and the care that my daughter Lucy is receiving while there. My daughter started when she was 4 months old and as a first time mother, I was so sad about not being with her everyday. It was hard knowing I wouldn't be the one in control of her nap schedule and general routine. All those fears have completed gone away now that she is going regularly to what we tell her is her "school". She is... more

It doesn't seem possible to update my old review, so I am posting another one now that my son is two and a half (he has been going here since he was four months old). I just wanted to praise the caregiver's work with toddlers as well as infants! As my son gets older, she has been teaching him more and more-- letters and their sounds, recognizing small words (I don't fool myself that he's actually reading at this stage, but I was still pretty... more

I love the fact that it is a small family-oriented daycare. We are happy with the care our daughter receives from this provider.

It is amazing to see our child get excited when we knock o the door in the morning! We know that he is being taken care of by someone who treats him like family. He's smiling when we pick him up and always seems to have something new to share: words, shapes, art work, or even just big smiles!

We could not be happier with the care and love our son receives here! The hardest thing a parent can do is leave their child with someone else. However, my husband and I feel so happy with our decision here. Michael has been going here since he was 4 months old (now 13 months) and we feel so good about our decision. He gets so excited when we drop him off-which make us feel great!

As a first time mom, you worry about everything, and nothing is more stressful than finding someone you feel trustworthy to watch the most precious cargo you have, your child. I visited many family daycares in the area and the first thing that struck me about this daycare is that it is very clean and bright. My daughter has been with Stephanie since 6 months old, and after a very brief transition period (she was home with me full time prior),... more

My daughter loves the place. She feels home. I don't take her as regularly as I used to take her a few months ago. It is amazing that every time I take her after a few months she never forgot the provider. She feels like home and enjoys everything. She feeds her timely and keeps her clean always. Also, she always make herself available and support in a difficult time. Sometimes, I have to go to work on-call bases and she is always there to... more
