Why Highland, MD Families Choose This Daycare
When quality daycare in Highland, MD is this close to home, the choice is easy for every family.
Right Here in Your Highland Community
There is no “near Highland” qualifier here. Our daycare is in Highland, with a Highland address, on the road Highland families already use. That level of proximity is genuinely rare and it changes the morning routine in ways that matter over years of drop-offs.
Maryland State Licensed
Maryland COMAR 13A.16 licensing means the state has independently verified staffing levels, safety protocols, and program structure at our daycare. For Highland, MD parents who research before they commit, that verification is not a footnote — it is a foundation.
Nurturing, Qualified Educators
The people teaching at our daycare in Highland, MD were not hired to fill seats. Every educator on this team was chosen because of how they actually show up in a room full of young children, and that comes through within the first week.
A True Community Feel
Highland is not a city that moves fast. Our daycare reflects that. Families here have been coming back with younger siblings for years, staff recognize children before parents have finished signing in, and that sense of genuine familiarity is something you notice immediately.

Nearly Two Decades of Daycare in Highland, MD
Highland Playschool did not expand into Highland. It was built here. Founded by people who lived in and understood this specific corner of Howard County, our daycare in Highland, MD grew out of a real belief that families here deserved an early childhood program that matched the quality of the community they had chosen to raise their children in. That origin still shapes how the daycare operates today.
Under Executive Director Ben Costa and Director Kelly Wheeler, the investment has been deliberate and visible. Pre-K now runs as a full structured program rather than an extension of preschool. Before and After Care connects directly to Pointers Run and Clarksville Elementary, solving a real logistical problem for Highland families with school-age children. The staff has been developed with the same care as the curriculum. What you find when you visit is a daycare in Highland, MD with the depth of an institution and the warmth of something genuinely local, because for nearly twenty years that is exactly what it has been. For Highland families, this is not a convenient option. It is the right one.
