About Me
Hello parents! Welcome to Sandy Spring Playhouse, my licensed daycare in Laurel, MD. I’m the owner and main caregiver of this small home-based child care and preschool program. I’m a mother of 2 children, and before opening my own daycare, I worked both in a child care center here in Laurel and a smaller home daycare in Columbia, MD.
In addition to my 5 years of child care experience, I was also an Elementary School teacher in Cambodia. I hold an Early Childhood Education Associate’s degree and an Associate’s degree in teaching from Cambodia. I am also CPR & First Aid certified, as well as MAT certified (Medication Administration Training).
My Daycare
I run a small family childcare program offering full-time and part-time daycare. Sandy Spring Playhouse welcomes infants as young as 2 months, as well as toddlers and preschoolers up to 5 years old. My hours of operation are Monday through Friday, between 7 am and 6 pm.
Snacks are included in the tuition and are peanut-free and tree nut-free (I have experience working with children who have food allergies). In addition to English, I speak fluent Cambodian (Khmer) and can teach your child (upon parents’ request, I can offer a Bilingual Cambodian child care program.)
Location
My daycare is located off Haynes Road, near Sandy Spring Road and Van Dusen Road. I'm also just a few minutes away from the I-95, to make your commute to work more convenient! Please send a message to learn more about me and my child care program. I look forward to meeting you and your little one!

I am happy that we found this child care. Her daycare is always clean and well organized, and she is very good with all of the kids. I like how she does different activities throughout the day with the kids like exercise/dance, ABCs, shapes and songs. My daughter can be a very picky eater at home, but when she is here, she is able to get her to eat her lunch. I would recommend this child care, two thumbs up.

My son has thrived so much under this caretaker's attentive care! Prior to joining the daycare, my son regularly sees an occupational therapist to help him meet his milestones, and since he has been at the daycare, he has developmentally grown in leaps and bounds. I highly recommend this daycare!

We absolutely adore this provider! We have had the pleasure to have her care for not only our son from 3 months to 3 years old (he is now 7) but now our 2.5 year old daughter as well and who she has had for a few months now. However, the transition has been effortless from her previous care taker. She is super attentive, caring and loving. She noticed that our daughter was having some acid reflux issues with her favorite fruits and so we have... more

This daycare is amazing. I needed to put my child in daycare at 4 months because I was returning to work. That was difficult for me but from day 1, the caregiver made the adjustment and transition extremely easy. She is kind and caring and very attentive to my child’s needs. The facility is clean and she always ensures that the health of the kids comes first. Most importantly, my child enjoys going to daycare everyday! I’m truly grateful to find... more

This provider is one of the best tutor and caretaker we have come across. My daughter was very fond of her and she looked after her as her own daughter. The daycare was clean and very friendly. She knows what is right and wrong for kids. She was also a nutritionist. Best choice we ever made was to choose this daycare. She teaches everything the kid of their age should know about.

I had a hard time finding a place I felt comfortable leaving my son. From the moment this provider opened the door he was hooked, which was very surprising as he is usually a no nonsesense baby. I shared my previous bad experience with her and she assured he would be cared for like family that was almost 1 year ago. She has not disappointed. Her patience and kindness with teaching is a relief. I never feel worried when he is with her.

This provider is very patient with the kids. My child was shy when she first got there but this provider is very patient with her and she can’t stop talking about this provider when she gets home. She has also started singing a lot more songs that she learned at the daycare as well. Happy to have found this provider for our child care needs.

I am so glad I found this daycare provider for my daughter. She is simply amazing. My daughter started going to her when she was 2 years and a half which was six months ago. I was initially worried about how my daughter would ajust but it was a very smooth transition. The provider is so loving and caring that it feels like a second home to my daughter. She takes care of her like her own daughter. I do not have to worry abould her meals, snaks,... more

This provider is amazing! Her daycare is clean and well organized, it is a nice home feel. She has a great layout, with a separate sleeping area for the infants/toddlers. She will work with you to feel comfortable, and you feel like you are leaving your kid with someone you can really trust. Being a first time mom, she made the transition to daycare as easy as it could possibly be!
