Our Child Care Program
At Childway Early Learning Center, every stage of childhood deserves the right care and learning environment. Our age-specific programs support children from infancy through kindergarten and school age, helping them learn, play, grow, and build confidence in a nurturing setting across Burtonsville and College Park, Maryland.
Programs for Every Stage of Childhood
Infant Care
6 weeks-18 months
The first years are filled with important milestones. Our Infant Care program provides attentive, responsive care in a nurturing setting where babies can feel comfortable and secure. Gentle routines, safe exploration, and age-appropriate activities support early development while giving infants opportunities to discover the world around them.
Toddler Care
18-24 months
Toddlers are naturally curious, active, and eager to explore. Our Toddler Care program provides structure while allowing children to practice new skills through hands-on activities, movement, play, and daily routines. These experiences encourage early language, motor development, social interaction, confidence, and growing independence.
Two-Year-Olds
2 years old
At two, children are becoming more independent and developing new ways to communicate and interact with others. Our two-year-old program uses guided play, repetition, simple choices, and engaging activities to help children strengthen communication, social skills, problem-solving, and early learning abilities.
3-5-Year-Olds
3-5 years old
Our 3–5-year-old program combines structured learning with opportunities for play, creativity, and exploration. Children build early literacy and math skills while developing communication, social skills, and independence. These experiences help create a strong foundation for the transition into kindergarten.
Kindergarten Program

Childway’s Kindergarten Program provides children with a structured and supportive environment for this important stage of learning.

After-School Program
School-Age Children
Our After-School Program gives school-age children a welcoming place to go after the school day ends. Children have time for homework support, structured activities, supervised free time, and social interaction in a caring environment. It’s a convenient option for families who need dependable afternoon care.
