About

CURRENT OPENINGS: For children 2 and up only! Next infant opening is anticipated in August 2026!
Welcome to Middlebrook Playhouse in Germantown, my licensed family child care and preschool program. I’m ideally located for your commute to work since I'm right off Middlebrook Rd and Germantown Rd, and only a few minutes’ drive from the Washington National Pike (I-270).
About Me
Hi parents, I’m the owner of this intimate and safe in-home daycare program. I’m a mom of 2 kids, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree and CPR & First-aid certifications. I’ve been in the child care and early childhood education industry for a decade. Before opening my own daycare, I started as an assistant at different licensed child care facilities, then later became a teacher. Working with families and children is such a rewarding job, which is why I decided to open my own licensed daycare. I get to see children grow and flourish under my care, and help parents to nurture them!
Curriculum
We have daily activities such as arts & crafts, and I teach them opposites, letters, numbers, shapes, and months. I introduce addition and subtraction early on to develop math skills. There is also a monthly theme for activities and worksheets. We also have water play outside and most importantly, I teach children how to be kind. I maximize my space with Montessori-style centers, including dramatic art and regular art areas. The walls are decorated with educational posters, birthday charts, and children's artwork. Bright carpets and ample sunlight fill the room.
Program
Middlebrook Playhouse offers a Play-based early learning program allowing children to learn through play. I provide full-time and part-time care for infants as young as 6 weeks, as well as toddlers and preschoolers up to 5 years old. I serve peanut and tree-nut free morning (10am) and afternoon (3pm) snacks to all kids attending my daycare. I’m also open in the summer, and have a fun summer camp program! Thanks for reading my profile! Please inquire through CareLuLu to get your registration fee waived.

We cannot speak highly enough of this childcare provider, who has been an absolute blessing in our lives for almost three years. She has been taking care of our son, River, since he was a baby, and her warmth, dedication, and genuine love for children shine through in everything she does. I chose her because of her warmth and caring demeanor. I have always felt safe with River being with her, as I know that she will treat him like her own child. She consistently goes the extra mile, creating a nurturing and enriching environment that feels like a second home for River. She even sends us updates and pictures regularly to give us extra peace of mind. She is not only a caring provider, she is also a talented educator. Thanks to her, River is entering Kindergarden knowing how to write his name, do basic math, and can complete school work meant for his second grader brother. River consistently learns with her curriculum, and she has fostered his curiosity about the works around him. What truly sets her apart is her incredible thoughtfulness and generosity. She makes every child feel special, especially on their birthdays. River (and all the other children) absolutely love how she celebrates their big day with a cake and a thoughtful gift – a tradition that speaks volumes about her dedication to making each child feel cherished. She has also has saved us quite a few times when we needed someone to watch him in a pinch, or when we have been later than expected. She has also given River food that she cooks for her family if he is being particularly picky about the lunches we send him with, something I have been so grateful for. We are incredibly grateful for her unwavering commitment and the peace of mind she provides. Knowing River is in such capable and caring hands allows us to focus on our work with complete confidence. If you're looking for a daycare provider who offers not just care, but true compassion and an exceptional experience, she is definitely the best provider there is in the area.
Response from the provider:
Thank you so much for your kind words and support. It means a lot. I am so grateful to know such a wonderful family. It is truly a blessing. God bless.

We love our daughter being with this caregiver. She is kind, very responsive, and her passion and love for kids is clear! From the moment that we first met her, we felt very comfortable and safe leaving our daughter in her care. We appreciate her sending home a daily sheet and photos! ☺ definitely recommend!

Our daughter has been attending the daycare for about 4 months now. We love the daycare provider. She is very knowledgeable and takes every precaution to ensure the safety of the children. She keeps the daycare organized and clean. Our 9 month old daughter always come home happy and clean (hard to believe for a baby!). She homemakes all of the food and provides a well balanced diet. We love all that she does for our family!

Mac has been attending this family child care for roughly a month now and everything has been amazing. The facility is nice and this provider has been taking great care of Mac. We met this provider a few months before Mac was born and decided on her child care after interviewing a few other local facilities. She is very kind and we can tell she cares greatly about Mac and the other children in her care. We are happy to have her as part of our family and I think anyone else reading this review would too.

This is a loving caring provider and is very understanding. She usually gives a daily report and also sends out information each month on what the kids will be doing at daycare. My daughter's language has blossomed since going to care with this provider and she looks forward to going each day. Thank you! 😊

Our family loves this provider! We were looking for someone invested in Covid protocols, but also someone who balanced care and activities. She is a warm and inviting presence who has helped our son who was less confident in speaking become a chatterbox! I appreciate her communication with daily pictures and updates. Absolutely recommend!
