We have a music teacher who comes once a week and we take several field trips a year. Our 2’s and 3’s Program In our 2’s and 3’s room we focus on helping children master self-care tasks such as toilet-training and using cups and forks as well as building social skills. We also lay the foundation for future academic learning with the basics such as the alphabet, colors, and basic math skills such as patterns and counting.

We cover all developmental areas including literacy, math concepts, science, social skills, music, and art all couched within a fun and interactive theme such as “Animals” or “The Beach.” Learning activities related to each of those topics are done throughout the week.

County Executive Kevin Kamenetz is asking the General Assembly to change state law that <a href="http://mlis.state.md.us/2011rs/billfile/hb0317.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">requires the county to post legal</a> notices at homes auctioned at a tax sale. The bill, introduced in the House of Delegates Wednesday, was not part of Kamenetz's package of legislative priorities announced last month. Don Mohler, a spokesman and Kamenetz's chief of staff, said the change was suggested by the county Office of Law. The bill is "simply cleaning up old language in annotated code that doesn't apply anymore—everyone receives notices and letters today," Mohler wrote in an e-mail. State law requires that the county post a property with a sign containing specific language regarding the tax sale. Mohler said the county hasn't actually posted a property on a tax sale since 1991. "That's why the law office said it would be best to change law," Mohler wrote. "That's just not the way it is done today." The sign posting apparently, when it was still done, cost the county about $50,000 annually, Mohler said. "Now we send letters and notices," he wrote. If passed, the bill would become effective Oct. 1.
