We believe that the first few years of life play a role of utmost importance in the development of an individual's personality. This belief is backed by the vast majority of psychological research. Each child is a unique human being who, aside from their physical needs (feeding, sleeping, and being diapered), need to be loved, nurtured, and respected.
I grew up in warm and caring family who instilled the value of education in me at a very young age. I received my Bachelors in Sociology which has helped me approach my work through the understanding of both the uniqueness of individuals, and their universality and commonality. My training also helps me recognize behaviors and group dynamics in my environment.

We highly recommend this daycare for all infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
Our son joined Bright Bees when he was almost 11 months old. We found Bright Bees after receiving a recommendation to visit from a family who currently had their son at the day care. Our son loved his first visit and we have been grateful for all of his time there ever since.
Kia and her staff treat all children and families with the highest care and respect. They communicate so well with everyone and make each day another opportunity for learning, growth, and fun! Kia is extremely organized and is very good about providing

We highly recommend Bright Bees Family Child Care.
This daycare offers a safe, intimate, and nurturing environment for babies and toddlers to grow and learn. The curriculum is structured and tailored to each child’s development. The small group setting also allows for more attentive care.
Not to mention the impressive high quality rating from Maryland EXCEL that is normally awarded to center-based daycare; Bright Bees went above and beyond to achieve additional accreditations and continuing education.
Kia truly cares for each and every child.
Our child has been attending here since he was

We have been using Bright Bees daycare for the past five years. We currently have three children attending who all started at three months old. We found Kia through a coworker's recommendation, and we have been delighted with both the effort Kia puts in to creating a healthy, fruitful learning environment and the growth our children have experienced while attending Bright Bees. Kia gives regular feedback on the educational progress of our children, and her annual parent-teacher conferences offer a unique opportunity to delve into the specific strengths, weaknesses, wants, and needs of our children

It was difficult for us to find the right provider for our son. After months of searching, we were connected with Bright Bees Family Childcare. Finding Kia allowed us to return to work without the fear and guilt that other scenarios had engendered. It has been almost 18 months and we know that the choice was the right one. From the beginning, our son loved going to Bright Bees. He has created meaningful friendships and loves his Kia dearly. It has been a blessing to have care during the pandemic where we know he is safe, the proper precautions and protocols are being followed, and his growing imagination
