Mission
Our mission is to nurture and uplift children and families, fostering a sense of connection, support, and love. By embracing the unique needs of each child, we strive to cultivate passionate, energetic, and caring individuals who embody trust and attentiveness. We believe that this love and care will ripple out, making a lasting impact in our communities.
Vision
Our vision is to cultivate a warm and welcoming environment where children, families, and early childhood professionals feel inspired and confident to blossom and learn. We are committed to building a community of support, curiosity, and care, where everyone is encouraged to reach their full ability. Together, we seek to ignite a lasting passion for discovering and intentional connections
Philosophy
Our philosophy is rooted in the confidence that meeting the needs of young children before they embark on their elementary journey is crucial for their future success. The responsibility for their development rests in the hands of those who are committed to nurturing their skills, passions, and attitudes. We are dedicated to being the landscapers of their early childhood experience, providing a home-away-from home environment that supports their growth, curiosity, and readiness for the next chapter of their learning journey.

About Us
In 2024, Petals Learning Center in Essex was founded by experienced early childhood professionals, Sharita and Mallorie, whose dedication to quality care has been recognized across Baltimore City since 2010. Petals Learning Center is a place of growth and learning not only for young children and their families but also for aspiring early childhood educators. Through our P.E.T.A.L.S. program, we provide Pre-Employment Training And Leadership Strategies to empower youth and young adults pursuing careers in early childhood education. Our commitment to creating a nurturing, educational environment inspires a new generation of caregivers, helping build brighter futures for all.
