Description: Children's Manor is a day care and child care option like no other. We are proud to offer more enrichment programs than any other public or private school for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years in Harford County. Children's Manor Montessori School, was founded in 1993 in Ellicott City, MD and has recently expanded to Forest Hill and Bel Air. Our Forest Hill campus is located at the corner of Klein Plaza Drive and Maurice Drive, directly behind Forest Hill Lanes and Fisherman’s Catch Restaurant off of Rock Spring Road (Rt 24).
The Forest Hill daycare center provides a progressive Montessori Method curriculum with emphasis on independent learning, preparing children for entrance into Kindergarten and success later in life. Before and After school care is also available for children attending Forest Lakes Elementary and Forest Hill Elementary Schools. This location offers preschool programs for infants, toddlers, primary, and pre-k students, stimulating classrooms, a tenured teaching staff, AM and PM snacks, as well as, lunch.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
