About the Provider

Description:

My name is Miriam Cruz and I a Maryland state licensed day care provider. I offer a warm welcome to children up to five years old  in North Laurel, Maryland.
 
I provide a safe, supportive and fun learning environment for your child, with many resources and planned activities such as arts & crafts, building and construction activities, puzzles, reading, field trips, and much more. I plan specific activities to ensure each child is ready for Kindergarten and is a well-rounded individual.
 
I live close to several parks and a library, which I make good use of.  You can find more information about my approach to working with children at https://sites.google.com/site/mcruzdaycare/; if you would like more information, or an informal chat, please contact me at 240.640.7885.
