KidsCo Jr. has two Early Learning Centers located in Gaithersburg and Damascus, MD catering to children ages 6 weeks – 5 years old. We offer progressive programs that stress the importance of self-esteem, self-reliance, and foster a love of learning to guide young children into a successful Kindergarten year. We are excited to raise the bar by implementing The Creative Curriculum in all of our classrooms! By introducing children into a developmental continuum based on social, emotional, physical, and academic goals, a learning plan is customized for each of our families in a loving and safe atmosphere.
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.
