One of the major reasons we exist at Macaroni KID Pasadena-Severna Park-Glen Burnie is to make life easier for parents. We know you parents work hard, play hard, and constantly juggle work and family life.
With this mind, we have created a back to school guide for the communities in northern Anne Arundel County--we aim be your one-stop for everything back to school. We hope it will be all you need to make life a little less hectic as we transition from summer to school.

Kheloney means ‘toys’ in Urdu and represents the fun and playfulness at the heart of our philosophy. We trust in the Power of Play; believing that children are happiest when encouraged to play freely in their own way, in their own time, and in a relaxed, sociable, and safe environment. Welcoming everyone gives us the chance to make strong and inspiring connections, learning from one another with patience and grace, and raising a generation of inquisitive, open-minded, and caring human beings. |
Some of Kheloney's programs include:
Watercolor Wednesdays
Join us on Wednesdays as we learn the basics of watercolor painting and brush drawing techniques. We will have a surprise project to show off by the end of the 10 weeks!
4-H Club In partnership with the University of Maryland Extension Office, the 4-H Club is an introduction to a myriad of handicrafts including but not limited to candle rolling, beginner knitting, finger knitting, beginner cross stitch, beginner crochet, beginner clay modelling. It's a wonderful way to get children engaged in developmentally appropriate activities. The 4-H Club meets every last Sunday of the month.
