Philosophy

We believe that children learn best when placed in an environment that protects and encourages their growth both humanistically and developmentally. Children’s bodies and minds need to be constantly stimulated, and the concept of play encompasses all five areas of development which are physical, emotional, social, cognitive and ethical/moral are essential for a good balance and an all rounded individual. As an advocate working for children, I believe in providing their basic essentials (if needed). Furthermore, since we believe in acts of service, we recognize this is a child’s first demonstration of love, which helps to promote self-esteem and build self-awareness. We are committed to providing your children with a safe space and a fun-filled learning environment that helps to foster the skills necessary for a brighter future. Our mission is simple, “together we aspire towards success, and collectively we can achieve our goals.”

Location

Offers easy access to various locations as we are situated a few minutes off the I495, close to PG Mall, University of Maryland and the Archives (College Park). Just within 15 - 20 min drive to Washington DC , Silver Spring, Greenbelt and Tacoma Park.
