Ivy Glen Children's Place, Silver Spring

Welcome to Ivy Glen Children's Place, our bilingual daycare and preschool program in Silver Spring, MD! Our licensed facility is located at the junction of Garrett Park, North Kensington, and Wheaton-Glenmont. We’re right off Ivy Glen Rd, and close to Veirs Mill Local Park. With easy access to Connecticut Ave (route 185) and Veirs Mill Rd (route 586), your daily commute will be seamless! Our home-based daycare is more than just a place where children spend their day, it's an environment designed to foster growth and creativity. With an Outdoor Play Area, Fenced Facilities, Video Cameras for added security, a Separate Nap Room for peaceful rest, and a Nursing/Breastfeeding Room, we've created a space that feels like a second home!

As the owner and main caregiver, I bring nine years of invaluable experience to our daycare. Four of those years were spent working at a licensed daycare center, followed by two years in another home-based daycare facility. This journey has been more than just a career; it's a vocation that I discovered early on in life. I've always had a desire to care for children. Starting my own daycare allowed me to channel that passion into a purpose. I believe that education begins at home, and by providing a loving, nurturing environment, I can contribute to the foundation of a child's early learning experience.

Ivy Glen Children's Place welcomes little ones from infants (as young as newborn babies) to toddlers and preschoolers up to 5 years old. We open our doors at 7:30 am until 5:30 pm, from Monday through Friday. To accommodate working parents’ flexible schedules, we can offer full-time care as well as part-time care. We're proud to offer a bilingual child care and preschool program that enriches your child's language skills from the very beginning.

At our daycare, mornings begin with joyful songs, circle time and a variety of activities such as dancing or exercises, setting a positive tone for the day. Children then enjoy free time for exploration, and if the weather is nice, we go for outdoor play. We then wind down a bit with activities like arts, crafts, and storytelling. Lunch and snack times are not just nourishing but also entertaining, accompanied by music. After lunch, children rest during nap time, followed by more outdoor fun. Finally, the day winds down with literature, stimulating their minds before children prepare to leave.

Education is the cornerstone of a child's development. I love what I do working with children and their families brings me joy and satisfaction. Being part of their journey, helping them discover their interests, and addressing their needs is not just a job; it's a calling. By instilling values of respect, positivity, and self-worth, I believe children will be better equipped to face the world. Choosing our daycare means choosing a partner in your child's early education.
