Choose a Day Care You Can Trust
Finding the right day care in Frederick, MD, means finding more than just a clean, well-run school. You’re searching for a space where your child feels safe, engaged, and excited to learn, and where you feel confident dropping them off each morning.
At Celebree School of Frederick, we believe that asking great questions during your tour helps you discover what truly sets a school apart. Here are the most important questions to ask, and how we answer them with confidence and care.
- How do you keep children safe?
Your child’s safety is our top priority. Celebree features secure entry systems, monitored cameras, and strict visitor ID procedures. Every staff member completes a comprehensive background check and holds First Aid and CPR certifications to keep your child protected.
- What does a typical day look like?
Each day at Celebree is carefully balanced with learning, play, and rest. Our programs follow the Seven Domains of Learning, which promote growth in communication, social skills, emotional understanding, creativity, and academics.
- How do you personalize learning for each child?
Every child is unique, and their education should reflect that. Our teachers observe and adapt lessons to match your child’s interests, abilities, and learning pace. Families also receive updates and take part in semi-annual conferences to track progress.
- What kind of training do your teachers receive?
Our educators are early childhood professionals who love what they do. Celebree invests in ongoing teacher development, including certifications in child health, safety, and inclusive education practices.
- How do you communicate with parents?
At Celebree, you’re always in the loop. We share daily updates about your child’s meals, naps, and activities, often accompanied by photos or stories from the day. Our open-door policy means you’re always welcome to visit, observe, or chat with your child’s teacher.
- How do you approach behavior and emotional growth?
We believe in positive guidance, not punishment. Teachers encourage self-regulation, empathy, and problem-solving through calm conversations and consistent routines. Our classrooms are places of respect and connection.
- What routines help children feel secure?
Children thrive when they know what to expect. Whether it’s nap time, snack time, or a favorite activity, we create predictable routines that help children feel confident and comfortable.
- What curriculum do you follow?
Celebree’s research-based curriculum is designed to grow with your child, from sensory discovery for infants to literacy and STEM for preschoolers. Every activity builds curiosity and readiness for the next stage.
- How do you nurture social and emotional skills?
Our teachers model empathy, kindness, and teamwork every day. Through group play, art, and storytelling, children learn to express themselves, build friendships, and navigate their emotions in healthy ways.
- What makes Celebree School of Frederick stand out?
We’re not just a day care. We’re your partner in parenting. Celebree combines protection, education, and nurturing care under one roof, offering a space where children thrive and parents feel supported.
Bonus Tip: What to Notice During a Tour
Even the best answers can’t replace what you see and feel. As you walk through a school, take a moment to observe:
- Teacher interactions: Are teachers speaking warmly, using children’s names, and engaging with smiles?
- The environment: Is the space clean, organized, and full of natural light?
- Children’s behavior: Are they relaxed, curious, and enjoying themselves?
- The atmosphere: Does the room feel joyful and calm, or rushed and noisy?
Your instincts will tell you a lot about whether it’s the right fit for your family.
