The Phyllis Wheatley Educational Center has been in business since 1986.
With several years in business, we have provided quality childcare services for preschool children in Baltimore City and Baltimore County.
The Centers are operated by Little Dimples Enterprises, Inc. and are probably the best kept, quality child care secret in Baltimore.
Over the years, Phyllis Wheatley has grown to one of Baltimore's most respected providers of quality childcare.
At Phyllis Wheatley we feature a unit approach to learning based on the total development of the child.
The planned program of weekly units help to enrich your child's development socially, emotionally, physically, creatively and intellectually.
At Phyllis Wheatley, our curriculum is an on-going process. Although it is well planned and lays a strong foundation for a child's future learning, there is room for modification to meet the needs of your child.
