I am Kidist Asfaw, a seasoned educator and entrepreneur committed to early childhood education, with over 17 years of diverse experience. I have dedicated my career to fostering safe, nurturing, and inclusive environments for children. As the founder, teacher, and owner of Glorious Childcare LLC, I emphasize the importance of providing high-quality childcare services.
My educational background is diverse and robust, including a Diploma in Accounting and a Bachelor's Degree in Management. I have further enhanced my credentials by participating in extensive training programs offered by the Montgomery County Department of Health & Human Services, Division of Early Childhood Services. I am also registered with the State of Maryland Department of Education, Division of Early Childhood, Office of Child Care (License Number 261781).
My professional journey includes significant roles in both international and local contexts. I served for 16 years in various positions at the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, which demonstrates my ability to adapt and thrive in diverse environments. In the United States, I contributed significantly to Shomrai Preschool, an Orthodox Jewish preschool in Silver Spring, MD. There, I enriched young children's learning experiences in a setting that combines diversity and faith-based education, further developing my skills in creating inclusive and holistic educational environments.
I believe every child deserves a joyful and enriching early start, and I am passionate about supporting families by providing a caring space where children can grow, learn, and flourish.
