Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Council on Environmental Quality NEPA Regulations (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Parts 1500-1508), the Department of Defense, Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) has issued a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the 2023 Pentagon Reservation Master Plan Update.

The projects presented in the Master Plan Update would be implemented over short term (0 to 5 years) and long term (6 to 20 years) planning periods and would include improving security, enhancing quality of life for employees and visitors, enhancing environmental sustainability, enhance safety and security, improve stormwater management practices, reduce surface parking, and increase energy resilience while balancing the various land use and developmental pressures facing the Reservation. A Finding of No Significant Impact is expected.

MTB Early Enrichment Center is now accepting applications for fall and winter enrollments. We are a home away from home, and as such we decided to convert a house to our preschool rather than a commercial building, a true schoolhouse. All college-educated teachers and assistants have been specially trained in our Healthy-mind/Healthy-body philosophy and our unique curriculum with Spanish immersion that all children participate in, including infants. As an enrichment center, we produce various projects throughout the year such as our monthly art appreciation (children study a particular artist and their painting for one month), and monthly sports camps including mini-soccer, basketball, baseball, hockey, golf, and more. In addition, we provide music lessons, yoga classes, and dramatic play. To reinforce our teaching on healthy eating, we help children plant a vegetable garden while incorporating nutrition in some of our lesson plans. For example, children are offered basic kitchen/nutrition activities on how to make their sandwiches, shuck corn, or learn how to make homemade tortillas.

We provide homemade hot breakfast, lunch, and a pm snack with fresh ingredients including plenty of fruits and vegetables (from our garden during the summer). Some children eat from the menu as young as six months, (depending on the pediatrician’s note). Our teachers are experts on how to prepare meals by blending, chopping, or cutting them into small pieces.

Don’t miss this opportunity to join the MTB Family. To schedule a tour and get more information, please visit our website www.mariateresasbabies.com
