Preschools & Day Care in Aberdeen, MD

Parents looking for preschools and day care centers in Aberdeen are choosing from 8 businesses, all of them in Harford County. Two sit just outside the town itself: Little House Preparatory School is based in Churchville, and APG Bayside Child Development Center is based on Aberdeen Proving Ground. That second one matters here, because the Army post is a large part of what surrounds the town, and its child development center is run through Child and Youth Services rather than as a private school.

The work in Aberdeen leans toward full-day child care that starts with babies. Children of Christ Learning Center LLC takes infants, toddlers and pre-kindergarten children, adds before and after school care and a summer program, and teaches the A Beka curriculum from a Biblical worldview. The Goddard School of Aberdeen is open Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, runs infants through pre-K and kindergarten, and builds its Wonder of Learning curriculum around inquiry. Its enrichment includes American Sign Language, art, dramatic arts and computers.

Little House Preparatory School is family owned and has served Churchville, Bel Air, Aberdeen and the surrounding part of Harford County for over 30 years. Its programs run from infants and toddlers through young preschoolers to an Accelerated Pre-K program, in a play-based setting. Parents who live closer to Bel Air or Churchville than to the center of Aberdeen will find it a natural fit on the map.

Public Head Start is part of the mix too. MRDC Head Start Aberdeen Custis is a school readiness program for children ages 3 and 4, and for 5 year olds who miss the September 1 cutoff for kindergarten. As a Head Start program it provides education, health and family services to income-eligible families and works with parents on the move to kindergarten.
