Congratulations Kelli Deist!!

Congratulations to Kelli Deist on recently achieving a Maryland EXCELS Quality Rating 5!

She has this to say about high-quality services in her large family child care home, "Quality means providing a safe, caring, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. It’s about meeting each child’s individual needs, helping them learn and grow through play, and building trust with families through good communication."

As we wrap up Mental Health Awareness Month, we wanted to share some resources with you.

Did you know Child Care Choices is a program of the Mental Health Association?

The first five years of a child’s life are when 90% of brain growth occurs. The key to a child’s success tomorrow is preparing children’s mental and emotional resilience now. MHA offers a wide array of programs and services that educate, support and nurture children and adolescents, to give them the best chance at living full, productive lives.

We are here to help you, your children and your families. For more information check out our link: https://fcmha.org/
