About the Provider

Description: The Silver Spring Learning Center (SSLC) has instituted the highest standards since its establishment in 1971. Your child will thrive in our congenial, warm atmosphere where he or she will be creatively stimulated, not only socially, but academically as well. We have found that children learn through play. Our teachers provide a non-pressured, "game-like" environment for learning language arts, modern math concepts, handwriting readiness, science and social studies principles, as well as creative expression through art, dramatics, music, and dance. We feel our program gives your child the best start in their school life.
