Quality Care You Can Trust

Providing a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for your child

Best Preschool & Child Care in Gaithersburg, Maryland

A Family Tradition of Caring

Just-Us-Kids is part of a family legacy that began in 1986 when Dorres and Diane, lovingly known as the Dee Dees, opened their first childcare center. Born from a desire to provide truly nurturing and enriching care, their vision has blossomed into three thriving centers. Now, with daughter Brittany at the helm alongside her mom, Just-Us-Kids continues to be a place where children are cherished and families are welcomed with open arms.
