Patricia Richie, owner of Patty's Little Angels

Hi, I'm Patricia Richie

I've been an early childhood educator since 2002 and bring over two decades of passion and expertise to my in-home childcare, located in the heart of Port Deposit, Maryland.

As a proud holder of a Maryland EXCELS Level 4 rating, I'm committed to maintaining high standards in quality early childhood education, health and safety, and family engagement. Patty's Little Angels offers a warm, home-like environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

My approach combines structured developmental goals with the freedom for children to explore their interests creatively. Years of experience and dedication ensure that each child in my care receives personalized attention and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

At Patty's Little Angels, your child is more than just a student — they're part of a family.
