We are Maryland’s public health, law, and human services university devoted to leadership and excellence in professional and graduate education, research, public service, and patient care. When the Medical School of Maryland was re-chartered in 1812 -- with the requirement that it add a law school, divinity school and school of arts and sciences -- we became the University of Maryland.
The College of Medicine of Maryland, or also known since 1959 as Davidge Hall, has been in continuous use for medical education since 1813, the oldest such structure in the United States. A wide pediment stands in front of a low, domed drum structure, which housed the anatomical theater. A circular chemistry hall was housed on the lower level under the anatomical theater.The dome is a Delormé structure, with small slats forming the dome. The design, originated by Philibert de l'Orme, was also used at Jefferson's Monticello. Somewhat inspired by the ancient Pantheon in Rome. The supervising architect was Robert Cary Long, Sr., a famous local father-son team of architects who also designed many other famous buildings in the city. The front portico facing West Lombard Street (formerly King George Street) is of wood construction with Doric columns. To the west is South Greene Street (named for Revolutionary War Gen. Nathanael Greene, (1742-1786), and aide to Gen. George Washington of the Continental Army)Davidge Hall was named for the founder and first dean of the College of Medicine of Maryland, Dr. John Beale Davidge. The College of Medicine is the oldest public and fifth oldest medical school in the United States. Dr. Davidge, along with James Cocke and John Shaw, offered medical instruction in a small theater beginning in late 1807. In November of that year, a mob broke into Davidge's small domed theater, took the cadaver and dragged it through the streets. In December, the Maryland General Assembly passed a bill establishing a college of medicine. A lot was obtained for construction of a building in 1811. Evidence exists that in addition to Robert Cary Long, Jr., early design work may have also been performed by French émigré architect J. Maximilian M. Godefroy, son-in-law of Dr. Crawford (who also did work on the Battle Monument during 1815-1827, in Baltimore's former Courthouse Square at North Calvert, between East Lexington and Fayette Streets and the First Independent Church of Baltimore (later First Unitarian Church of Baltimore (Unitarian and Universalist

Our Philosophy I believe education helps the child to develop emotionally, socially and academically. A fun, safe and nurturing environment promotes learning and enables the growth of the child. It is my belief that fostering a fun, safe and nurturing environment while teaching respect for themselves and their peers is another critical area in the learning process. I am certain that when children know what is expected of them, feel safe and comfortable in their environment they begin to blossom. I believe that each child has their own unique learning style and deserve to be treated as individuals. As an educator it is up to us to discover each child’s learning style and incorporate it in our lesson so that everyone benefits from it. It is our desire and goal to help every child reach their fullest potential by helping and allowing them to take academic risk. This goal will be accomplished by being supportive, providing a safe environment and inviting the sharing of ideas. Our goal is to provide the students with a positive learning experience that will shape, mold and prepare them for their educational career. Through cooperative teaching, classroom management, parent involvement, technology and discussion of diversity our goal will be accomplished. Education is the foundation of our children’s future. I feel that in order to be a successful educator you have to have a love for the work you do, be committed to your profession and be dedicated to your students. We at Exploring Minds Child Care are such people and we will strive to be the best educators and supportive staff to your children that we can be.
