About Us
Serving the southern Maryland child care community for over 30 years.
What We Do
With 30 years of service to southern Maryland, we have long been the leading provider of training, resources and certification for those who care for children in the tri-county area (Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s). Specifically, we provide an array of resources to support parents, grandparents, foster parents, and licensed family and center child care providers. Our core purpose is to help provide a brighter future for children by educating and supporting their parents and caregivers.
