The Wee Lad & Lassie Early Learning Center, founded in 1969, is a small private facility located on a beautiful wooded acre. In 1987 the center was accredited by the Maryland State Department of Education, and in 2005 it received MSDE Early Childhood Accreditation. Wee Lad & Lassie promotes the development of the whole child by fostering physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth, and believes that a developmentally appropriate approach to learning and individual attention are the keys to a high quality early-childhood education. The curiculum includes language arts,
mathematics, social studies, science, music, computer instruction, arts and crafts, physical education, and Spanish. Programs are offered for children ages 3 to kindergarten age. Extended care is also offered.
