Academy Child Development Center, Inc. is a local, not-for-profit child care provider and educational organization founded in 1981. We offer a wide variety of program options for children 3 months to 12 years of age at several locations in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Children are our focus and our staff make up the foundation of our programs. The experience, education, and low turnover of teachers and assistants ensure continuity of quality programming from year to year. Ongoing professional development through Academy Training Institute and college courses funded by the Judith P. Hoyer Early Childhood Education Enhancement Grant keeps staff up to date on current research and issues and expands their educational credentials. Child/staff ratios are kept low to facilitate a child-centered approach.
All centers share a common mission and are licensed by Maryland’s Office Child Care. Because of the uniqueness of each community we serve, different centers may maintain additional affiliations. In partnership with families, community and early childhood experts, Academy continues to grow and develop within the scope of our “Building Blocks for Life” philosophy.
