A guide to child
care in Anne
Arundel County
By Brian Jeffries
In addition to the wide range of private
and independent child care options
within the area, Anne Arundel County
offers several public options for parents
of school-age children.
The county operates 50 state-licensed
child care centers, the majority of which
are located within public school buildings, said Jessica Leyes, director Anne
Arundel County Recreation & Parks, who
oversees the child care division.
Most of the programs are before- and
after-school care, but there is an early
childhood education center – South
County Recreation Center – in Harwood.
The centers offer morning care from
6:30 a.m. to the beginning of school and
from the end of school to 6p.m.
While there, children can participate in
crafts, free play, and community service
projects, according to the county website.
Kids in the afternoon programming are
given a snack as well.
To qualify for the county care centers,
children must be at least 5 years old
by the first day of school and entering kindergarten. Kids cannot be older
than 15 to participate in middle school
programming.
The fees for each location vary, but the
majority of centers charge $115 for morning care and $435 for the afternoon for
one child per month. The pricing varies
the more children from one household
that are enrolled.
The early child care center offers full
and part-time pre-k care from 9 a.m. to
3 p.m. for children aged 3, 4 and 5 years
old. Parents interested in full-time care
can expect to pay $435 per month. Parttime care cost between $230 to $325 per
month, depending on how often the child
goes.
