Alem Family Child Care

Alem Family Child Care is a licensed home-based daycare and preschool in Silver Spring, MD. My home is very accessible since I'm close to all major roads, such as Piney Branch Rd (route 320), New Hampshire Ave (route 650), and Capital Beltway (I-495).
I'm Alemtsehay Tsega and I'm the owner and main caregiver of this safe, intimate, and nurturing child care and preschool program. I'm a mom of 3 with a Bachelor in Law and CPR & First-aid certifications. If needed, I can administer medication to all kids in my care since I'm M.A.T trained. I consider myself a successful early childhood provider/caregiver and will continue to grow my skills and knowledge in working with young children by continually renewing my CDA (Child Development Associate's degree).

I have chosen to work with young children because I want to help them learn in each stage of development. The main theme of my approach is to work with children and their families through my Christian faith. The most important thing I can do as a caregiver is to "Train up a child in the way he should go and in keeping with his individual gift and when he is old he will not depart from it."

Beyond teaching and learning, I see my role in supporting the growth and development of children as important because without the support they need in their learning environment, children struggle in life and I believe that they shouldn't have to.

Alem Family Child care is open all year-round from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday. I offer a Play-based program, and can accommodate full-time and part-time care for infants as young as 4 weeks, as well as toddlers through preschoolers up to 5 years old.

Morning and afternoon snacks are provided to all kids attending my program. I also run a peanut and tree-nut free environment to prevent any possible allergies.
