Preschools & Day Care in College Park, MD

College Park's 12 preschools and day care centers include several tied to the University of Maryland, and that gives the page a character that most Prince George's County towns do not have. The Center for Young Children is a laboratory school in the University of Maryland College of Education, founded in 1948, serving children ages 3 to 5 in preschool and kindergarten. It doubles as a teaching and demonstration site for university students and a setting for child development research. It is rated 4.6 from 21 reviews and accepts child care subsidies.

Nearby, the University of Maryland Child Development Center is a Bright Horizons center at 4601 Calvert Road, caring for children from 2 months to 5 years. It runs year-round infant, toddler, preschool and pre-K programs, plus kindergarten prep and a summer program, using the Discovery Driven Learning curriculum. It is rated 5.0 from 2 reviews, so the rating rests on a very small number of voices.
