A warm, play-based preschool & child care center in Huntingtown, Maryland for little learners from 6 weeks to 5 years — where every day is built around curiosity, kindness, and fun.
“Play is a child's work.”
Through play, children come to understand the world using all of their senses — touching, tasting, smelling, hearing, and seeing. At Inspired Minds Early Childhood Education Center, we make sure every one of those moments counts.
We're more than a place for your child to stay while you're away. Our little learners socialize, explore, build good manners and character, and gain the skills they'll need for elementary school and beyond — all in a safe, healthy, and genuinely joyful environment.

Our Owner and Director, Jessica Jones, earned her B.S. in Early Childhood Education from Towson University and has spent more than a decade in child care — loving every moment of it.
After discovering her passion teaching underprivileged youth, Jessica opened Inspired Minds in the fall of 2013. She grew up in Huntingtown, still lives here with her husband and two children — who attend the center too — and greets families at the door each morning.
Real words from real Inspired Minds families.
Having my children attend Inspired Minds has been one of the best decisions we have made. We interviewed and even tried other daycares, but none compared to the nurturing and loving atmosphere created here. There is no one we would recommend other than Jessica and her staff!
Inspired Minds is such a great place for our son! All the teachers are so nice, great structure in the classroom, clean and inviting. Grayson loves coming to daycare. Thanks Jessica — my family cannot thank you enough.
I love that it is a smaller center where everyone knows my children. They are always sharing neat stuff they've learned, and it's a great feeling to have people who really take an interest in your kids each day. We couldn't have wished for a better place.
The best way to know if Inspired Minds is the right fit for your family is to visit in person. Schedule a tour and get one-on-one time with our Director — we can't wait to meet you.
