Description: The Y of Central Maryland is one of the largest providers of Head Start services in Maryland. We are the Grantee for Head Start in Baltimore County and are a Delegate of the Baltimore City Head Start program. Our main objective is to prepare young, economically disadvantaged children for success in school and life. We provide comprehensive early intervention to low-income children and their families and help support parents as the first and primary educator of their children. Collectively, we serve more than 950 infants, toddlers and preschool children through our Head Start programs.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

| Findings: On 11/20/19 a child was injured on the playground and had to receive medical care. During this inspection the LS observed teachers and children on the playground. LS witnessed 2 teachers looking at their cell phones and one of those teachers had a white corded earpiece in her ear. The next day LS observed a teacher playing with a Rubik's cube. Several times during the observation LS saw the teachers with their backs to the children and standing in a group talking. LS observed a teacher exiting the gated playground to enter the school building. The teacher had approximately 5 children, and after the teacher exited the gated play area she did lock the gate behind her and proceeded to climb the steps into the school. The teacher was not aware that a male child was attempting to follow, due to her locking the gate. The teacher still continued to talk amongst themselves, completely unaware that a male child was unlocking the gated area. The child unlocked the gate and went up the stairs to the school however the door to the school had closed. The child then walked down the stairs and returned to the playground that was in close proximity to the parking lot. | |||
