School Struggles and Your Child: Expert Tips

Not finishing homework, having trouble making friends, struggling in class. It’s natural for students to struggle some in school. A mental health expert answers some frequently asked questions about ways to help.

Finding School Age Care

The Maryland Family Network’s database includes all Maryland-registered family child care providers and licensed group programs, such as full-day centers, preschool and Head Start programs, public pre-K programs, private kindergartens, school-age programs, summer programs and camps. The Locate Search tool provides direct access to information about all registered and licensed child care programs throughout Maryland, and shows providers with immediate vacancies or potential future openings. Use the filters to find care that fits your budget, location, and schedule, and search for providers who are multi-lingual, support special needs, and accept financial aid.
