About Asbury Child Development Center

Asbury Child Development Center, accredited by the Maryland State Department of Education, is a community ministry of Asbury United Methodist Church. Our purpose is to provide at reasonable cost a secure, loving, yet stimulating, environment and structured activities in which children ages 2 through Kindergarten can develop age appropriate social and mental skills without undue academic pressure.
Every school day is comprised of both structured and non-structured time under the gentle guidance of qualified teachers. ACDC\'s classrooms present age-appropriate materials and activities to stimulate the natural curiosity in each child, encourage positive social interaction and develop a life-long love for the learning process.
Jean Oakley directs a dynamic staff that includes 3 assistants, 14 teachers and 6 support personnel.
