About

Art of Learning welcomes your child to a professionally landscaped home situated on approximately one acre of land; we have a beautifully appointed garden for children to take nature walks and enjoy the natural beauty of local wildlife and incredibly breath-taking plants and trees. All of this comes with privacy, multiple parks, and a focus on high-quality early childhood education in a home that has a warmly updated kitchen that produces daily meals (great-tasting and healthy) that fit your child's dietary and nutritional needs. Philosophy: During the early years, children need to be exposed to many activities that strengthen their large motor muscles. As babies, it begins with their neck and head control, and then they strengthen their legs and feet. As preschoolers, once body control is achieved, it’s great to work on throwing, running, climbing, etc. Curriculum: Art of Learning follows the Howard County School's Curriculum (Frog Street and Healthy Beginnings). We selected high-quality materials and manipulatives for infants and toddlers. Equipment, materials, and tools have been selected that are useful to a wide range of abilities and interests, also for special needs children. Teachers work alongside kids to ensure that materials are used in healthy and safe ways while also making the learning experience fun and educational. All the materials are: Based on kids' interests, sturdy, age-appropriate, offer variety and choices, and arranged in such a way as to encourage independence and creativity. Program: Our daycare and preschool is open all year-round from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday. We offer full-time and part-time care, as well as drop-in care for your occasional child care needs. We accept infants as young as 6 months, as well as toddlers and preschoolers up to 5 years old. We also provide support for special needs kids, such as kids who have a hearing aid, children who cannot walk, tools for Autism kids, kids who have sensory/fine motor and adaptive skills delays.

My son was in Art of Learning for nearly a year and we were so pleased to have found this provider. She goes above and beyond to make sure the children in her care are learning, growing, and progressing to be prepared for when the eventually go to school. Her philosophy and style of education was top notch and my son grew so much in her care. Overall, I felt safe, secure, and incredibly comfortable knowing this provider was tending to my son.

My daughter started with this provider almost 1 year ago. We switched from a center and feel that she gets much more loving care and attention here. This provider is extremely warm and loving with the children, my daughter is excited to see her every morning. She also goes above and beyond in communicating with parents. I get a daily log of my child's day as well as periodic emails, pictures, and text message updates. I highly recommend this... more

I am amazed at the level of care and attention to detail I have noticed since taking my daughter to this playhouse. The curriculum is amazing and is much more advanced. I am very happy with the staff at this playhouse, and can't speak highly enough about how good this facility is.

We are so happy with our choice to join this program! Our son is happy, cared for, and thriving. He tries new foods, plays games, and comes home every day with new words that he has learned. It is wonderful!

I LOVE this provider, she truly cares for my child like she’s her own. Ryann is happy when she’s dropped off, and content whenever I drop in to pick her up. I can definitely see a progression in her learning different skills.

This provider is warm and caring. You can see how positively children respond to her. She takes the time to explain the learning and enrichment activities your child is experiencing. She also provides daily feedback on your child. I highly recommend this provider.

This provider is such a wonderful teacher. She has a great teacher method that helps my daughter develop her skills (language, observation, emotional expression...) I can see the difference after each day she goes to this provider's class. Even on her days off, my daughter still says "I want to go to school (to this provider)" and she loves the provider and always has great time at class. I have really horrible work schedule and usually work... more
