Happy mother Oct 27, 2020
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My child has been going to Glen Mar ELC for almost 1 year and we are very happy with ELC and my child adores the teachers and his friends. The facilities are great, the classes are bigger and brighter than any other school that I have toured, they have a gym area that they can utilize if the weather does not allow them to go outside (which not a lot of center's have) and they have a nice playground. The teachers take the children outside or to the gym twice a day. The teachers are great and you can see that the children are loved and well cared for.
