Looking for daycare/preschool recommendations near Layhill/Aspen Hill - Also open to Laurel.

We’re looking for a daycare or preschool for our 18-month-old and almost 3-year-old. We live near Route 200 in the Layhill area and would prefer somewhere within a 15-minute drive. They would also need to accept Maryland Child Care Scholarship vouchers.
We’re open to home daycares, centers, faith based programs, language immersion, and true Montessori schools.
Ideally, we’d love somewhere that provides nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snacks (home-cooked meals would be a huge plus!), plenty of outdoor time, different activities, early learning, language exposure, and help with potty training.
More than anything, we want somewhere the teachers genuinely love and care for the kids. Good communication is really important to us, including honest updates about how their day went, even when things aren't going perfectly. We don't want our kids to feel like just another number.
