Faith Early Learning Child Development and Academy, Suitland

Faith Early Learning and Child Development Academy (FELA), is the place where we grow, learn, and play together. Presenting a hands-on environment that encourages learning through engagement, exploration, and exposure. Working in small groups allows development of self-identity, independent and cooperative thinking, communication skills, and teamwork. I am a retired Metropolitan District of Columbia Police Officer (MPDC) that has always had a passion for working with children. During my tenure with MPDC, I worked in the Officer Friendly Program teaching safety, drug, crime, and stranger awareness. I was also the coordinator for the AAA Safety Patrol Program. After retiring, I began my career as a Teacher Assistant for Pre-Kindergarten 3 at various charter schools in the Washington, DC area. FELA was created from my vision of providing high quality childcare while encompassing the nurturing environment of a home setting.
