Creative Family Day Care

This facility is located off Central Avenue (route 214), close to the Washington DC border and in close proximity to 495.  In addition, there is easy access to the Morgan Boulevard Metro Station and Addison Road Metro Station.

The owner of this facility, Ivy Tyson, is the mother of four children.  She had a desire to teach from she was three years old, so she pursued a teaching career after graduating from teachers' college, and successfully completing her undergraduate studies . 

In 1993, while she was expecting her fourth child, she had a vision, and an overwhelming desire to start a family day care business.  Perhaps it was partially birthed out of the same concern most parents have when seeking adequate day care for their children.

She was encouraged by family members, neighbors and close friends to start the business.  Eventually in August, 2002 she was granted the license to start the family day care.

The programs in this day care encourage creativity.   The owner, believes that when children enjoy creativity while they are young, they may even continue to utilize those skills into adulthood as hobbies, or they may even choose a career in those areas.  The inspired Word states: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it'.  Essentially while children participate in the programs they are so engaged in fun that they do not even realize that they are actually learning.
