Ladybug Childcare is really a special place. My child spent almost 4 years there, from toddlerhood up until he graduated and moved on to kindergarten. Ms. Amela has worked hard to blend the best parts of home childcare with the best parts of a formal preschool, and we knew our child was both known, loved and cared for, AND learning a lot every day. Ms. Amela nurtures free play while also teaching important skills in fun and engaging ways, preparing our child well for the next step. We also loved how easy and open communication was. Highly recommend!
Abigail W.Feb 7, 2026An amazing Childcare! We are considering having another child just for them to be a Ladybug 😂 could not recommend more
Raye PenberJan 5, 2026LadyBug is not your average daycare. Ms. Amela goes above and beyond all expectations. The activities stimulate the kids’ minds and keep their bodies moving. She creates an environment that is loving, challenging, and playful. A bonus: LadyBug tuition includes a nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snack every day. I definitely recommend LadyBug!
Rhea MDec 16, 2025Ms. Amela really cares about creating an enriching curriculum. I'm amazed by the range of engaging activities she's created for the kids--giving them exposure to STEM, literacy skills and so much more. My kids have learned so much there!
Azhar ANov 20, 2025There is no better review for a childcare than having our 3-year old come home saying "I love school". We see her interest and excitement in the activities on the photos, we see her development and how she walks in confidently in the mornings ready for a new day of learning through play. Ms Amela's warm but firm personality reassures us every day that our daughter is cared for with love, kindness and determination to help her develop cognitively, socially and emotionally. We highly recommend Ladybug Childcare for your little one.
Ilona Ilma BranaganNov 18, 2025We and our children adore Ms Amela! She is truly wonderful with the children in her care. She nurtures them in a playful and educational way. Ladybug childcare offers kids ample opportunities for play alongside phonics, letter recognition, reading, STEM activities, etc. Always in awe of what even the littlest kids are learning there! She has helped to cultivate a deep love of learning already in our five year old. Best of all, both our kids get to spend time together and have learned how to be kind to and help out other children of all ages. Her use of the Brightwheel app throughout the day is great for putting working parents’ minds at ease knowing their kids are safe and having fun. So grateful we found Ladybug!!

Questions parents ask about Ladybug Child Care
Is Ladybug Child Care a licensed child care provider in Maryland?
- Yes. Ladybug Child Care holds Maryland licence 1746216481348x422008951983018100, listed as "CONTINUING - FULL" by the Office of Child Care, Maryland State Department of Education in Montgomery County. The licence is recorded as Continuing - Full, running to December 31, 2027. Confirm current standing with the Office of Child Care before enrolling.
What does Maryland record about Ladybug Child Care's standing?
- Maryland records Ladybug Child Care's status as "In Good Standing". That is a single status field in a snapshot, not a compliance history, and it is not the same as a clean inspection record. Maryland publishes inspection findings separately at checkccmd.org and they are not included here.
How many children is Ladybug Child Care licensed for?
- Maryland's record lists 2 infant places and 6 school-age places for Ladybug Child Care. Those are the only two age bands this dataset publishes, so they are not a total capacity and do not describe toddler or preschool places. Ask the provider for its full licensed capacity.
Does Ladybug Child Care operate all year?
- Maryland records Ladybug Child Care as a "Full Year" programme. That is the schedule on the licence record rather than a timetable, so confirm term dates and closures with the provider.
Does this page show inspection results for Ladybug Child Care?
- No. Maryland inspects licensed child care programmes and publishes the results through Check Child Care Maryland at checkccmd.org. Those reports are not included here, so nothing on this page reflects Ladybug Child Care's inspection history either way. This page's record comes from Maryland Family Network's LOCATE service, which carries licence and status data rather than inspection findings.
