Hope Grows I – Director

Teneshia Flagg

Maryland Child Care Credential – Staff Level 6

Greetings Everyone, my name is Teneshia Flagg and I am the director of Hope Grows Child Development Center I located at Lost Knife Road in Gaithersburg, MD. I am mother of three beautiful children and a pet parent to a lovely dog named Chichi. I have been working in the Early Childhood education field for 23 years. Before becoming a director, I was a preschool/ Pre-K teacher then was promoted to Assistant director. I currently have an associate degree in early child education and will be pursuing a bachelor’s in early childhood/ Liberal Arts soon. In addition, I have been a member of Phi Theta Kappa Honors sorority for 11 years.

My goal is to strive for our team and I at Hope Grows in Gaithersburg, MD to provide high quality education for students in a warm nurturing environment. My door is always open because a partnership between educators and families is important for children’s success!

What Parents Are Saying

We know our teachers are amazing, but don’t just take our word for it!  Here are a few testimonials from parents who currently trust Hope Grows to foster development in their children!

Since the very first day I dropped my daughter I was happy with the professionalism of the staff, variety of activities and ambience. My son too joined a few months ago and his development is amazing.

I have always been uncomfortable leaving my child at a day care. But since I found Hope grows I’m relieved knowing that my child is safe and cared for by people that are just like family!!! Best Teachers ever at Hope Grows, thank you guys!!!
