Our Story

Our Director and Owner has served children and families in Baltimore, Maryland as a licensed child care service option for 19 years. Learning how to nurture and care for children and others has always felt natural learning from the matriach of her own family, Linda "Lin". Our Director takes pride in our program and the quality care services we provide.

Our Philosophy

At LKC, we believe that every child is unique and has their own set of talents and abilities. Our progressive and holistic early childhood education philosophy focuses on providing the environment and tools your child needs to thrive to the best of their abilities. We expose children to different environments and various learning experiences, allowing them to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them. Once they leave LKC, they're fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives.
