Choose a child care center with a superior academic program. The Joy of Learning Center in Baltimore and Lanham, Maryland, is much more than a day care center. We are a center of exploration.
Here at The Joy of Learning Center, we believe that children can do a lot. We take pride in providing the highest quality academic program available. It is the role of the caregivers to build upon those things that children are capable of.
Our Philosophy:
We believe that most of lifes learning occurs in first five years. Because each child learns at his or her own pace, our staff will look to him or her to determine the next stage of development. This "can-do" approach is the basis of our philosophy.
Time and research has shown us that the main component of quality child care is trained staff. We employ some of the best trained staff, all of whom value, respect, and sensitively respond to the needs that children hold. We feel that the time they are away from Mommy and Daddy must be a blossoming time.
We respect parents as the most significant providers of care and nurturance. We are pleased to serve as extended family members.
