Greenwood School in Hyattsville, MD | Child Day Cares | Maryland Catalog

Greenwood believes each day of a child’s life is full of curiosity and learning. Parents and teachers play an important role in responding to and supporting learning experiences. By working together, we can help our children develop into healthy, intelligent human beings. We feel children should be treated with respect so they will value the feelings and ideas of others.
Our teachers are college graduates and experienced in early childhood. Our faculty consists of teachers, senior staff, and aides. Greenwood serves children from varied economic, social, and ethnic backgrounds.
Greenwood School’s physical facilities have sufficient floor space in nine classrooms to accommodate all of our children. Each room is divided into clearly defined learning centers with materials and equipment appropriate for that learning center and the age of the children.
Our faculty strongly believes that children learn through first hand experiences, structured and unstructured play activities, and involvement with their peers. The staff at Greenwood helps create an environment that is conducive to learning in this manner.
Your child at greenwood
Students should wear clothes that are rugged, comfortable and appropriate for school. It is inevitable that clothes will become soiled, so please save good clothes for holidays and special events. A complete extra set of clothing, which will be kept at school and will be used throughout the school year, is required for all children. Please change clothes seasonally.
If your child stays for lunch, please include a plastic cup in the lunch box for milk. We heat up lunches only through the three year old classes, not the four year old or the kindergarten classes.
If your child is staying through nap time, please send in a sheet, blanket and, if necessary, a sleep toy.
Please label items that your child brings to school! This includes all clothing, jackets, hats, extra clothing, lunch boxes, toys and books.
