People Who Show Up for Your Child Every Day
At Highland Playschool, our team is our greatest asset. Every educator and caregiver on our staff was chosen not just for their qualifications, but for their genuine love of working with children. From our infant room caregivers to our Pre-K teachers, every member of our team is background-checked, trained in accordance with Maryland state licensing requirements, and deeply committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment where every child feels known, valued, and excited to learn.
