Miss Jess' Child Care & Preschool
At Miss Jess' Child Care & Preschool, children learn, grow, and thrive in a nurturing home-based environment that follows the AACPS school calendar.
Our Philosophy
At Miss Jess' Child Care & Preschool, every child is valued as a unique individual. Through play, exploration, and meaningful relationships, we create a nurturing environment where children build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.
Teaching & Caregiving Approach
Our days balance child-led exploration with thoughtfully planned learning experiences. We provide a consistent routine that includes creative curriculum activities, outdoor play, meals, rest, and plenty of opportunities for children to learn through hands-on experiences.
What Makes Us Different
As a licensed family child care program, we offer the warmth of a home environment with the structure of a high-quality preschool. Small group sizes, individualized attention, and strong partnerships with families help every child feel safe, supported, and ready to grow.
Who We Serve
We welcome children from infancy through school age, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and children needing before and after school care. Our inclusive program is designed to support children of all abilities and developmental stages.
A Day in Our Program
Every day includes circle time, hands-on learning, creative play, outdoor exploration, nutritious meals, rest time, and opportunities for children to build friendships. Our routines provide consistency while remaining flexible to meet each child's individual needs.
Safety & Communication
Your child's safety and well-being are our highest priorities. Families receive regular updates through Brightwheel, and we maintain open communication to ensure parents stay informed about their child's day and development.
