My daughter was with a nanny as an infant then started this daycare when she was 15 months. This is a wonderful place for your toddler to grow and nurture. The staff is super friendly, approachable and kind. They offer a warm , cozy and welcoming environment.

Eva Day Care
6137 Quiet Times, Columbia, MD 21045
Starting at $200/wk
Description:
I have been a teacher for the last 25 years and in 2000 I decided to open a home daycare that centered around Montessori teachings. In my time as a teacher and home daycare provider, I have taught reading,writing, music, art and math to young children. Under my care children will have circle time, story telling, exercise, and playground time.
Teaching is my passion and I believe that teaching can begin as early as the age of one; I teach my children sounds of letters and before 3 years old, they are reading 3 lettered words.
While I believe in teaching children core skills before they reach their school years, I also fundamentally believe in play. I love singing to my kids and enjoy dancing with them! I make sure that they have time to enjoy being outside and playing with their peers.
I also serve free breakfast, snacks and lunch. Parents can also witness the progress and development of their kids through their projects and events that I host annually.
I host holiday and seasonal parties that children help with. Parents can enjoy a program complete with a concert from their kids, food, and beverages.
I hope to continue to serve the community and showcase my love for children through my home daycare….

Our 15-mth-old and has been at Clarksville Daycare for about 6mths. As nervous first-time parents, we started her out part-time (3 days per week) to ease our daughter into it, but quickly transitioned tofull-time as our daughter is so clearly happy there.
The center is colorful and welcoming, with lots of fun toys for all ages. There is also a shaded back yard where the kids can safely play outside in the grass when the weather is nice. Ms. Noshaba has always been quite attentive to our wishes and Adeline’s queues, and is happy to incorporate anything to help her feel more comfortable, such as using a white noise machine at naptime. She is also very responsive and sent lots of pics and videos in the beginning to keep us updated on how she was doing, and will still do this now when we ask about how the day is going. Overall, we are so happy we found Clarksville Daycare for our daughter!…
