Robin's Nest is a privately owned business, licensed by the State of Maryland Department of Human Resources (Lic# 154-494418). Founded in 1984, the school's reputation for excellent programs and quality care has spread over the years to earn us the endorsement of many satisfied parents. We are proudly serving Rockville, Potomac, Gaithersburg, Darnestown as well as many other locations across Maryland.

Many of our teachers have had their own children enrolled at Robin's Nest and we think of them as part of our extended family. We strive to maintain very high standards and invite you to learn more about the quality care we can provide to your family and loved ones.

Robin's Nest is a home built and designed on two acres of fenced land with 2200 square feet of indoor space for child care. It has a residential sprinkler system for fire safety, a flushing baby potty, two child sized sinks, a water fountain and a separate infant room. The child care space has four ground level walk-out doors; three of which exit into one fenced playground. The day care entrance faces the street with exterior steps which permits good supervision of the children along with easy access for their parents. Robin's Nest is open to all ages, which gives your child an opportunity to be in a group with multi-aged peers. Once your child is in school, most of the next thirteen years will be spent with children of the same age with competitive stress or with adults giving them authority. Your child can develop nurturing skills and reinforce previously learned concepts from helping younger children in my child care home. Your child can better appreciate his or her own level of physical, psychosocial, and cognitive development since multi-age groupings provide children with a greater contrast of their abilities. My home is well equipped with toys accessible to children and a large variety of activities.

We have pets to include two dogs and fish plus our yard has birds, deer, turtles, frogs, worms and other animals.

My name is Robin Rice. In 1980, I became a mother and now have four children, two boys and two girls. In 1984, I started providing licensed child care in Montgomery County to meet my child care needs. My education qualifies me as a director of a child care center for over 40 children, but I feel my parenting skills are why the quality of my child care meets the standards I want for my children. Your children can form a stable, long-lasting relationship with me from their infancy through their teens. Parents can communicate directly with me about their child's day.
