When you step into My Beary 1st Steps or MB1S (for short) , you are greeted by a Home Day Care Center that has a warm and Spacious atmosphere that fosters creativity, exploration and growth. We provide children with everything necessary for them to discover their own potential while showing them with the love and nurture they need to feel special.

MB1S was founded by Haydee and Kevin Monterroso in 2008 due to the lack of appropriate home Day Care centers in the Reisterstown, Owings Mills and Glyndon areas. After a long research in which they noticed that almost all home Day Cares are either cluttered, small, dark, with tiny or almost none play areas, no curriculum, or extra activities available almost only in Professional  Child Care centers, they decided it was time for children to have all in the same place.

Haydee Monterroso holds a degree in Teaching English as a second Language, another one in Business Administration and a Masters in School Management. 45 hours in infant Education, 90 hours in Early Childhood Education, CPR and First Aid certification, SIDS trainning,11 years of teaching experience and 7 in Business Administration  and holds other related certifications to ensure the best possible care for your little cub.

    MB1S  strives to make children feel "beary" happy, safe, loved, important and active. Our meals are Highly nutritious and delicious (we participate with the Food Planning Council of Maryland) and  our Montelindo curriculum teaches kids love to learn every day. We have several extra curriculum activities such as birthday parties, Ice cream socials, Tea Parties, Awesome Summer Camp full of outrageous fun, bringing Petting zoos, The Baltimore Zoo, magicians, Baltimore Police Department, Fire Department, Professional Musicians, Irving Nature Center, My Gym, Santa Claus, and many others that will create unforgettable memories in the life of your child.

All our toys and books are age appropriated and are rotated so our cubs have always something new and exciting. Our rooms are spacious, bright and cozy.

Every Friday is a true childhood celebration at MB1S not only because we have a different activity each Friday but because it always brings nice surprises to the kids. They love Fridays!

BM1S is located in  a beautiful  area in Reisterstown and is very close to Glyndon and Owings Mills, Baltimore, Md.
