The mission of Little Haven Child Care is to support families and to enrich the life of each child in our care through a curriculum designed to promote cognitive, social-emotional, and physical development.
We encourage children to seek answers to their questions, develop problem-solving skills, and think creatively — by providing both teacher-initiated and child-initiated activities in a safe, nurturing environment.
We believe in providing a bright, safe place where a child’s physical well-being is cared for. The most important part of our job is to create an atmosphere of unconditional love, support, respect, and educational engagement.
Children learn through play. We provide a variety of experiences to expand cognitive thinking and offer the time and opportunity to express creativity — forming a strong, positive self-image.
Little Haven Child Care was founded by Aden Medhana and established in 2025, with a deep commitment to providing exceptional early childhood care in the Silver Spring, Maryland community. Located at 14609 Woonsockett Drive, our home-based center offers a warm, family-centered environment where every child is treated as an individual with unique strengths, needs, and potential.
Ms. Medhana’s approach to childcare centers on guidance rather than discipline, inclusion over exclusion, and nurturing every child’s natural curiosity. We are proud to be a mandated reporter — committed to the safety and well-being of every child in our care.
At Little Haven, our values are not just words on a wall — they are the heartbeat of everything we do, from the way we greet each child at the door to the way we guide them through every moment of their day. These eight principles shape our culture, our curriculum, and our commitment to every family we serve.
