Meet Our Staff

Welcome to Deer Park Bilingual Children's Den, our licensed daycare and preschool located right off W Deer Park Rd, in Gaithersburg, MD. I’m the owner and director of this family childcare program, and I'm a proud mom of two. I have a decade of experience in early childhood education, and a Master's degree in Economy. Assisting me are two moms, each with 10 years of experience and a Master’s degree —one in Law and the other in Mathematics.

Together, we provide a loving, safe, and high-quality learning environment for your children. Deer Park Bilingual Children’s Den isn't just a childcare facility; our goal is to become an extension of your family. We strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment that encourages growth and exploration.

Our Facility

Our home-based facility operates out of a cozy single-family house, and it is specifically designed to cater to your child's needs. The childcare space is located on the ground level for ample natural light. The facility includes a separate nap room, a multipurpose room for diverse activities, a library corner to foster a love for reading, and an indoor playroom for fun and free play. We also have lots of fun play equipment in our fenced outdoor area, so we can enjoy the fresh air when the weather is nice.

Our Curriculum

At Deer Park Bilingual Children’s Den, we believe in learning through play. Children not only develop essential skills through engaging activities but most importantly, they have fun while learning! Also, your child will have the unique opportunity to become bilingual at a young age, since we are a bilingual English and Russian daycare and preschool program. We prioritize individualized attention, ensuring each child receives the care and guidance they deserve.

We’re open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. We welcome infants and newborn babies, as well as toddlers and preschoolers until 5 years old.

Our program tuition includes serving nutritious lunches and snacks, which are all peanut and tree-nut-free. We are trained and equipped to accommodate children with special needs, including autism and diabetes. Feel free to reach out for more information, our goal is to be all-inclusive and to be here to support your child's unique needs.

My baby is thriving at this daycare and I couldn’t be happier or more grateful. He started around 5 months old, and the growth we’ve seen since then has been incredible. When I leave him in the morning, I have absolutely no anxiety, stress, or worry—she creates such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment that I genuinely feel at peace every single day. This provider is our guide. I truly feel like a better mother because of her, and I can see the benefits in Benny in every way. He interacts beautifully with the other children, can sleep anywhere, and tries all kinds of new foods without hesitation. Every morning when he sees her, his whole face lights up with the biggest grin. It means everything to know he adores her just as much as we do. It’s also so clear how loved and happy all the children are—she pours her heart into every one of them. Even though Benny is only 9 months old, he gets to experience so many enriching activities. The photos she posts daily show them engaging in music, art, reading, and even weekly classes with different teachers who come in to work with the kids. It’s amazing to see such thoughtful, developmentally appropriate activities happening at such a young age. We are so thankful to have found her. She feels like an extension of our family, and there is no one I would trust more with my son. Highly, highly recommend!

She is dedicated to providing amazing care to all of the kids in her care, which she calls her family🥰 I was hesitant to allow my son into daycare but she took her time with me and gave me the assurance that he is in good hands. She teaches them through play which is very creative and they learn how to speak Russian. Yes my 1 year old comes home speaking Russian 😂. Any issue that I may have she listens and addresses and I am thankful to have her in our lives..

This daycare provider is very transparent and allows families into her home to see what the children are doing. She provides regular updates on WhatsApp that show videos of what the children are working on throughout the day. She is a very kind and nurturing woman that fosters an authentic relationship with the children. It’s as if they have their own babushka cooking them borscht, kotletki, and kasha. She provides a full Russian immersion experience and has support from other teacher who teach enrichment classes that include art, music, and language instruction. Our son is extremely happy with her and her daycare so we do not have any complaints and are very appreciative of her exceptional services and the genuine relationship she has with the children.

I can not say enough good things about her. My son has absolutely thrived since going to her daycare. He pushes me out the door to leave and is always happy when I pick him up. She cooks delicious healthy meals-my son eats much better for her than for me. They have weekly art and music classes which my son loves. I’ve never once worried about my son while I’m at work- she so clearly cares about each and every one of her kids and they feel that too.

The owner is like a Russian grandmother for our son. Going to daycare feels like dropping my son off with family. She cooks for the kids and provides healthy meals and snacks. There are Russian languages, arts and crafts and music lessons built into the week.

I highly recommend this family child care. Two of my children were lucky enough to be a part of this close-knit family like day care facility. The owner goes above and beyond to take care of each child's individual needs -to challenge, teach and nurture them. She makes each child feel special. Her activities are so fun the kids do not even realize how much they are learning!! We are so grateful our kids attended this daycare.

Hi, I would like to review and recommend the daycare. My son has attended it from 16 months till 4 years old. My son loved the place, he found a lot of friends, he was always engaged and never refused to go to Day Care since he felt there as home due to friendly atmosphere the owner has created. Also we like that kids had lots of activities such as introduction into Russian, music, art/painting. Sometimes the owner with another teacher had presented to kids the puppet show. We loved the place.
