Three Decades of Love & Learning
Lisa's Rascals Daycare has been a cornerstone of the Laurel, Maryland community since 1994. What began as a small, home-based operation grew into a trusted daycare center because of one simple belief: every child deserves to be treated like family.

"Words do not adequately express how awesome Ms. Lisa is. We highly recommend sending your kids to her. She has watched 3 of our kids from 3 months up and has treated our kids like part of her family. She works with them on educational topics and actually spends time having fun with them, including doing arts and crafts. One of my favorite touches is she sends us pictures of the kids periodically during the day so we don't miss out on all the cuteness while we're at work. She really does an amazing job with the kids and our family of 5 is so glad to have her in our lives! Thank you for being such a blessing to us, Lisa!"
"We've had two children go through Lisa's Rascals and both had amazing experiences. The center is clean, Lisa is outstanding, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my children."
"I was nervous about dropping my son off for the first time, but Lisa made both of us feel so welcome. He came home every day excited to tell me what he learned."
