ABOUT US
Welcome to the LTRC Early Childhood Center. We are a small early childhood program operated by the Lutherville-Timonium Recreation Council and housed at Pinewood Elementary School. Our program has been in existence for over 40 years and is licensed by the Maryland State Department of Education, Office of Childcare. The ECC’s mission is to provide a program that is age appropriate, in order to help children develop physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually by learning through structured play and guided instruction. Children are given opportunities to develop early learning skills that will help prepare them for more difficult concepts of learning once they begin their formal education in Kindergarten.

Family Reviews
I think the LTRC tots program is probably one of the best kept secrets in the area. The teachers are fantastic, the tuition is unbeatable, and the community is welcoming. The instruction is engaging, play-based and developmentally appropriate. There were many special activities like sports day, pajama day, field trips, teddy bear picnic, etc. They also offer two summer camps after the end of the school year for fantastic prices. We’ve had a fantastic experience so far and I can’t wait to send my younger kids!
