Welcome

What if you didn’t have to choose between a quality learning environment for your child and time with your family?

Kinder Connection offers sensory-rich play-based learning in Galena, Maryland. Conveniently located near Dogwood Plaza, within walking distance of a beautiful playground and public library, we serve infants through age 6 with research-informed play-based learning that includes families through regular communication and monthly events.

We are a Maryland EXCELS Level 3 provider, participated for two years in the ASPIRE Pre-K mentoring program, and use MSDE-approved and nationally recognized Creative Curriculum.

Kinder Connection focuses on sensory-rich play-based learning and integrates literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, music, art and Spanish into themes based on student interest and current academic level. Children don’t sit and learn – instead movement and exploration are included in everything we do.

We offer a formal academic program during the school year for all ages based on the Creative Curriculum Units. This program aligns with MSDE standards for kindergarten readiness but is delivered in a way that encourages movement, sensory play, and creativity.

In addition to our full-time programs, we have some flexibility for families who need part-time care- welcoming children as families go back to work part-time as well as young children who are homeschooled and have parents who desire additional enrichment and socialization.

Children attend our micro-center three, four, or five days a week. Children receive a lower student to staff ratio (5:1) than most other programs – giving your child the attention they need to thrive.
