My children had a great night! My oldest knew exactly where to go when he saw Pilot the Eagle sitting outside the event and ran right in. They had fun and begged to go back when we left. It was so nice to know they were not far away and well taken care of during our event.
Special Ops Child Watch · Service area
Serving Upper Marlboro, MD
About 20 minutes from our Clinton location via Marlboro Pike and Pennsylvania Avenue, with the team building in arrival buffer around MD-4 traffic when events fall during peak hours.
Upper Marlboro is Prince George's County's seat of government, positioned along Pennsylvania Avenue (MD-4) and Crain Highway (US-301) about 15 miles northeast of our Clinton home base. The courthouse complex and county fairgrounds anchor the town center, while a growing ring of planned communities (Westphalia, Marlboro Ridge, and Beechtree) has drawn a steady stream of military families from Joint Base Andrews and the broader Pentagon corridor. Those families show up on the guest lists for balls, retreats, and family readiness events, and coordinators planning those events in PG County run into the same problem their counterparts everywhere do: a well-run event needs professional on-site child watch, and Upper Marlboro has no local provider doing this the way military families need it done. Special Ops Child Watch makes the 20-minute run from Clinton to fill that gap.
Including Westphalia, Marlboro Ridge, Beechtree and the surrounding area.
