A Child's Garden

Our Facility: Founded in 2001 as a sister school to Wee Lad & Lassie, with a focus on the very young learner.  Located in the heart of beautiful Severna Park, our programs include a toddler program for 18 month olds and young 2-year-olds, an older 2-year old program for ages 30 months and up, and a 3-year-old program. We offer morning preschool classes from 9 a.m. to noon, and full day extended care from
7 a.m. to 6 p.m. for working families.

Our Program: In 2005 A Child’s Garden joined the very few independent preschool programs to be accredited by the Maryland Department of Education Early Childhood Accreditation Project.  This means our management, staff and curricula meet the highest standards in Maryland. Our curricula are broad based, covering
Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. Also included are music and computer instruction, arts and crafts, physical education, and Spanish. We promote the development of the whole child by fostering  physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth.  We believe that a developmentally appropriate approach to learning and
individual attention are the keys to a high quality early childhood education.

Our Staff: Our teachers and staff members are enthusiastic about children and teaching! The interaction between children and adults is positive, warm and nurturing with lots of attention to each child's needs.   We find that our teachers are happy here, the rate of turnover is low, with many of our staff remaining for a number of years.

Please feel free to call with questions you may have or to schedule a visit.  We encourage parents and students to visit our facility to observe classes in session and meet our staff; that is the best way to evaluate a program!
