CURRENT OPENINGS: For children 2 and up only! Next infant opening is anticipated in July 2026!
Welcome to Shady Grove Children's Place, our licensed daycare and preschool in Rockville, MD. Conveniently located right off Muncaster Mill Rd (Hwy 115) in the Redland-Derwood area of Rockville, MD, our child care facility is just moments away from Shady Grove Rd, the I-370, and Maryland State Route 200.
About the Owner
As the owner and primary caregiver at Shady Grove Children's Place, I'm a devoted mother of 3 children, with 6 years of experience in child care. I hold an Associate's Degree in Computer Science and I am deeply passionate about fostering a supportive and educational environment for children. I decided to open my own daycare because of my love for nurturing young minds and witnessing their developmental milestones. I strive to provide a clean, secure, and compassionate space where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
Program Information
We are dedicated to providing high-quality care and early childhood education for infants as young as 3 months, as well as toddlers and preschoolers up to 5 years old. We also provide before and after school care for kids up to 12 years old. We are open year-round from 7:00am - 5:30pm, and offer various schedule options, including full-time care, part-time care, as well as drop-in care. To ensure the safety and well-being of all children in our care, we operate a peanut and tree-nut-free environment.
Philosophy & Curriculum
At Shady Grove Children's Place, we embrace a play-based teaching philosophy as well as Montessori principles. Our goal is to ensure that children reach their developmental milestones in a loving and supportive environment. I speak Urdu in addition to English, and can introduce your child to a foreign language and culture (upon parent request only). Our curriculum encourages learning through play, and we incorporate Montessori-inspired activities to stimulate children's growth across all developmental areas. A typical day at our daycare includes engaging activities such as circle time, learning numbers, reading, arts and crafts tailored for toddlers, outdoor play in our fenced playground, and a dedicated nap period in our separate nap room. Thank you for considering our daycare. Contact us through CareLuLu to learn more about our programs and schedule a visit. We're excited to meet you and your child!

My daughter is happy to go each week and has made friends. The provider structures the day well with time for learning, indoor and outdoor play. She provides snacks to makes sure children are fed and sets a tone for positive cooperation with peers.

My son has been going to this day care since he was 5 months old. My experience has been nothing short of amazing. He really enjoys being there and is very well taken care of. The provider is very good with communication and sends me daily updates, pictures/videos and any request. She has a nice large backyard with slides/other toys where children love to play. They do adorable activities example my son made a coloured foot print card on... more

This caregiver's child care facility is godsent! Our kiddo truly enjoys it and at times misses being there over the weekend! We chose it for a home-like environment, good outdoor space, and location, and they have exceeded our expectations. I can foresee him grow up and learn with his child care friends and care team. I'd recommend this child care without reservation.

She has been an excellent child care provider for my son for many years. She is professional, kind, caring and very careful with little to older kids. I was so much in peace having her watch over my son. I don't think I can trust anyone else for my children like her.
