Annapolis Child Development
Center in Annapolis, MD 21401
One of our goals is to help your child develop a positive self image. We recognize that children need clearly defined limits set ina non-threatening, yet firm manner. We encourage children to be self directed and exhibit self control. In order to achieve these goals, we apply principles that emphasize and reinforce positive behavior, build individual esteem, and avoid any shaming practices. We accomplish these goals through close supervision, gentle guidance, and redirection. We also put strong emphasis on verbal rather than physical dispute resolution. When all else fails, we will utilize a brief timeout. No abusive verbal or emotional reprimand will ever be used.
Our rules are few:
- Care for each other physically and emotionally at all times.
- Care for each other’s toys and belongings as if they were our own.
- Allow the children to settle their disputes whenever possible, keeping safety of body and feelings as the guideline.
- Find teachable opportunities when redirecting inappropriate behavior.
- Give lots of hugs!!

- Our most important goals are to help your child develop a postive self-image, respect for others, resourcefulness, and self-discipline. Our goals are realized by offering the children informal learning experience in the areas of music, art, math, science, social living, language arts, and outdoor play. We strive for a balance of teacher-directed activities and those selected by the children, within the framework of a weekly theme.
- At Annapolis Child Development Center, we believe each child is a unique individual. We strive to provide a loving, nurturing, and creative environment for children. We are sensitive to their social, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs. We provide developmentally appropriate programs that focus on the process of learning while also helping them to enjoy many other successful experiences. We encourage not just learning, but the love of learning.
- We believe in providing a physical environment that is safe, clean, healthy, and child friendly. Classrooms are arranged to offer challenging play and learning choices at a range of developmental levels. Learning centers allow children the opportunity to explore, to experience, and most importantly…. to succeed.
