A warm, home-like environment where your child grows, learns, and discovers joy — right here in the heart of Salem.
Home-like
Safe & nurturing
At Maria's Child Care, we believe every child deserves a space where they feel safe, valued, and inspired to explore. Located on Fisher Road NE in Salem, our home-based program offers the comfort of a family setting with the structure and care your child needs.
We keep groups small so each child gets the attention they deserve — whether that's a gentle morning routine, hands-on learning through play, or quiet time with a friend. Your child isn't just a number here; they're family.

From infants ready to explore to preschoolers building early skills, we offer tailored care that meets your child where they are.
Gentle, responsive care for your youngest children. We focus on bonding, sensory play, and building the trust that helps little ones thrive.
Curious explorers need curious environments. Our toddler program encourages movement, discovery, and the joy of learning through play.
Building the foundation for school readiness. We nurture early literacy, social skills, and confidence so your child steps into kindergarten prepared.
A safe, supportive place after the bell rings. Homework help, creative activities, and a calm environment while you finish your workday.
School's out but life goes on. We offer fun, structured days during school breaks so parents can work with peace of mind.
Full-time, part-time, or drop-in — we work around your family's schedule. No rigid contracts, just real flexibility for real life.
Being a home-based program means something special: your child gets the attention, warmth, and consistency that only a small, dedicated setting can provide.
Every child gets individual attention because our groups stay intentionally small.
Homemade snacks and meals prepared fresh daily, accommodating dietary needs with care.
Childproofed, regularly sanitized, and designed for curious minds to explore without worry.
Daily updates, open-door policy, and genuine partnership with parents every step of the way.
Every day at Maria's is filled with laughter, learning, and the kind of small moments that build big memories.
