Where Learning, Love, and Growth Begin
Welcome! I'm Patricia Richie, and I have over 24 years of experience providing high-quality early childhood care. At Patty's Little Angels in Port Deposit, Maryland, I provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
I am proud to offer FREE Maryland State-Funded Pre-K for eligible families through Maryland's ASPIRE Pre-K Program. I believe children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful experiences that build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning. My program supports each child's social, emotional, physical, language, and cognitive development in a caring, family-centered environment.
Patty's Little Angels proudly holds a Maryland EXCELS Level 5 Quality Rating, is nationally accredited through the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC), and participates in Maryland's ASPIRE Pre-K Program. I am currently in college pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education.
