OPENINGS: We are full at this time.
Welcome to Gunners View Children's Den, my bilingual Spanish daycare and preschool in Germantown, MD. To get your $50 registration fee waived, please contact me through CareLuLu!
About Me:
I’m the owner and main caregiver, and I run an intimate, nurturing child care and early education program in a safe and loving environment. I’m a licensed provider with 13 years of experience and a Bachelor's Degree in Early Education. I’m also CPR & First-aid certified. I have a passion for taking care of children because I find it very fulfilling and they are fun to work with! There is so much to love about working with kids – you get a chance to witness them grow and develop their full potential, they always put a smile on your face, their energy is contagious, and the list goes on! As a mom myself, I know you’re nervous about leaving your child with someone you barely know, especially if you're a first-time parent. If you choose me, I’ll make sure to treat your children as if they were my own. I will make them feel at home, safe, and as if my daycare is the extension of their family.
Curriculum:
My family child care and preschool program uses the Play-based teaching philosophy, which fosters learning through play. My daycare is a bilingual Spanish program, so I teach kids the Spanish language in addition to English. This is a wonderful opportunity for your little one to learn this beautiful language and become bilingual at a young age. My curriculum includes teaching shapes, colors, the alphabet, circle time, and writing. I also take the kids outside as much as possible when the weather is nice. My goal is to make sure that all kids in my care are prepared for school and that parents feel that their children are safe. My space is clean with modern decor and learning charts posted on the walls. I also have a library, large playsets, puzzles, and blocks.
Program:
I’m open year-round from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday. I accept infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age kids up to 12 years old and I offer full-time and part-time care. I can also accommodate children with special needs. I prepare lunch and snacks for the kids, and these are both included in the tuition. My daycare is a tree-nut and peanut-free environment to prevent allergies.
Location:
Gunners View Children's Den is located in the Gunners View neighborhood, near Waring Station Park. I’m right off Waring Station Rd and Middlebrook Rd (near Fox Chapel Elementary School and Roberto Clemente Middle School), and just 3 minutes’ away from the I-270 Dwight D. Eisenhower Hwy.

This provider along with her assistant are amazing. From the first day we toured, our son was in love with the home. Lots of things to keep the kids engaged and learning. They are kind, caring and my son absolutely loves it there! She goes above and beyond and keeps a very nice clean home. The curriculum there is great. My son started talking a lot more since he started there. They give the children genuine care, lots of great activities as... more

I feel completely comfortable having my son in her care. I’m a first-time mom and my son started attending daycare at 12 months. He transitioned well and never cried during drop-offs. This set my mind at ease. My son is a very picky eater and she has been trying different things and new foods to introduce him to new foods, flavors and food textures. I appreciate her help in this way. I’m learning from her techniques while she is helping my son.... more

They are wonderful caregivers. It is obvious they love the children, and my daughter is always happy to see them. The owner seems like an extension of our family, asking about siblings and events. But what I find particularly helpful is the way she works with me to address any issues that come up, be they about nap schedules, food transitions, illnesses, etc. The facility is clean, and the kids are always making the cutest projects. There is... more

She worked with our children for 10 years. She is amazing with children of all ages. She is professional and responsible while being loving and caring. She is also very smart and a great teacher. She works well in both Spanish and English. If our children were younger we would send them to her day care without hesitation.

She is a warm, loving caregiver. She is very creative and comes up with fun art and learning projects for the kids. She is very responsible and trustworthy and I always felt safe leaving her in charge of my kids. My kids think she is the best and are always excited to see her!

This provider has taken care of all three of my children. She is excellent, and has cared for them with love and attention. She helped each one with their development by providing age-appropriate activities. She is engaging and nurturing. Her daycare is clean and inviting. I was always confident that my children were safe and having fun too. I have no complaints and trust her completely. I highly highly recommend her!!

I cannot speak highly enough about her care for my little one. She is so engaging and always comes up with activities that peak his interest and teach him new skills. Her warmth and enthusiasm are contagious and it’s crystal clear how much she loves nurturing little ones. She is a treasure!
