CentroNía in Maryland

In response to the significant growth of the immigrant and low income communities in Montgomery County, CentroNía has embarked in an expansion effort that seeks to bring much needed early childhood, out of school time and family support services within reach of these families.

The communities of Langley and Takoma Park are made up of some of the fastest growing suburban neighborhoods in the Washington metropolitan area, mirroring the national trend of immigrants moving directly to the inner suburbs rather than to major cities. These suburban neighborhoods of Montgomery County are now home to families from Central and South America, the Caribbean, North Africa and East Asia.

Opened in June 2007, our new location at 1345 University Boulevard includes a fully licensed early care and education center currently serving 26 children ages 2 – 5 and slated to grow to 100 children by 2008. This site also includes a community room available for community events, family gatherings and serves as a training site for various social service organizations. The family resource center is also slated to open in 2008.

Registration is Open Now!
