CURRENT OPENINGS: For children 2 and up only! Next infant opening is anticipated in April 2027!

Hello parents, and welcome to Lakewood Little Children's Academy, our loving daycare and preschool in Rockville, MD.

About Me:

I'm the owner and main child care provider here, with 13 years of experience and a bachelor’s degree in education. I was also a school teacher for 7 years, and I've always had a passion for working with children. I love to see kids growing up with me and find fulfillment in helping them learn.

As a mother of two, I understand the importance of a safe and stimulating environment for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. My commitment extends beyond providing quality child care; I strive to support families, fostering a strong partnership for your child's growth.

Mission and Philosophy:

My mission is to offer a secure and nurturing space that fosters the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development of every child entrusted to me. I believe in a child-centered, play-based curriculum, while also using elements of the Montessori Method to create a well-rounded learning environment.

At my daycare, I prioritize children's individual learning paces and preferences. With my strong background in education, I know how to make adjustments in my teaching style to cater to each child's individual needs. My goal is to nurture your child's natural curiosity and passion for lifelong learning!

Facilities and Location:

My family child care program is operated in a single-family house that offers a dedicated child care space on the ground level. I have a spacious backyard as well, to ensure children can play outside. Located near Lakewood Country Club and Lakewood Elementary School, my home daycare offers easy access to the I-270, W Montgomery Rd (Route 28), Darnestown Rd, and Shady Grove Rd (I’m near the Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center and Johns Hopkins University - Montgomery County).

Program:

My hours of operation are from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, and Lakewood Little Children's Academy welcomes children aged 4 weeks to 5 years. I provide both full-time and part-time care, as well as a preschool program, to accommodate diverse family needs.

I offer nutritious meals including breakfast, lunch, and snacks, all peanut-free and tree nut-free to ensure children with allergies are safe (and those are already included in the tuition!) While English is the primary language spoken, I am also fluent in Farsi. Though not a bilingual daycare, I’m happy to introduce a foreign language and culture to your child, if you so choose.

I would love to welcome you and your little ones into our nurturing daycare family! Please don't hesitate to contact me on CareLuLu.

Since starting at this daycare in August 2025, our daughter’s transformation has been nothing short of incredible. She came in as a shy, reserved two-year-old, and has grown into an independent, inquisitive, and confident almost three-year-old. It has been such a joy to watch her meet and exceed her milestones in such a loving and supportive environment. We are beyond grateful for the exceptional care and dedication she receives every day.

I am so happy to have found this childcare, it truly lives up to its name. This provider is such a kind and gentle soul that my baby becomes giddy the moment he sets eyes on her. I’ve had experience with other childcare centers in the past but nothing has compared to the love and care my baby gets here. She cares for the kids like a loving family member and I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Liam has loved his time at this daycare! Everyday he is greeted with a warm smile and is very excited to start his day with the caregiver. I feel confident leaving Liam daily as my husband and I go to work and know that he is in excellent care! The friends he has made at daycare is the icing on top. I could not recommend this daycare any more!

Considering how shy my daughter is, it took just four days for my daughter to happily go to this provider in the morning when we drop her off - that says everything about how caring she is to my daughter. I am thankful that we found her.

My son Jacob has attended this daycare program since he was about six months old. During that time, Jacob has connected with the caregiver, and, similarly, I can tell that she truly cares for him as well. Each day, she plays with Jacob by encouraging him to discover and learn through engagement with various toys and songs. When my husband or I pick Jacob up at the end of the day, his mood is enthusiastic and happy, indicating that he has enjoyed... more
