Dina 's Child Care

Our Teachers

Hello! I am Konstantina (Dina) Chroni, the founder and owner of Dina’s Day Care. I was inspired to start my own childcare program when I was try to find a family daycare for my daughter. A family day care where the children will have the own space away from home to blossom and grow. I have 20 years of experience working with young children in both Greece and the US. I am certified by Maryland Credentials and Maryland Excels.

Testimonials

Our daughter loves Dina! She enjoys every day with her, eats great, nutritious food and learns a lot of new skills! We are very satisfied with the care our little one receives at Dina’s and could not recommend her enough.

Philosophy

As a parent and childcare provider, I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your child in someone’s else’s care and trusting them to provider the care you know your child deserves.

My goal for Dina’s Family Daycare is to provide a “Home Away from Home” that children can learn and grow in a safe, enriching environment.

Dina’s Family Daycare mission is to be a place where kids love to spend time and a place where parents feel great about leaving their child while they are at work.

I am dedicated to creating a warm and nurturing atmosphere that allows children to develop at their own unique rate. At Dina’s Family Daycare I work towards cultivating a positive, fun environment by treating each child with respect and providing lots of loving individual attention. I believe learning happens through positive relationships, exploration, experiences and sense of belonging that enable children to become productive contributors to the world in which they live.

About our program

At Dina’s Family Daycare we encourage developmental growth in the areas of intellectual, social, physical, and emotional skills, through a wide assortment of group activities, individual play, and quiet periods. I have a great selection of toys and learning materials that let children develop confidence in their abilities explore, learn, make things, and have plain old fun! I include age-appropriate activities and I like to incorporate specific interests of the children into our plans.

I believe play is integral to children’s learning and essential to quality of life in childhood. Exploration and play are a child’s primary way of understanding the world. Children are agents of their own learning, actively building knowledge, skills, dispositions, and feelings. I am committed to fostering each child’s self-esteem, well-being and growing need for independence. All aspects of their development and learning are interrelated and interdependent.
