Inspection/Report History

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.

Date Type Regulations Status
2023-05-02 Complaint 13A.16.05.01B Corrected
Findings: LS observed leaking pipes in a bathroom. The Facilities Manager is aware of the issue and stated that he is working on all repairs.
2023-05-02 Complaint 13A.16.05.12D Corrected
Findings: LS observed a hazard cone on the playground that was placed over a drainage pipe that is jutting out of the ground. The cone is too heavy for a child to lift, however the children were dropping rocks down the opening of the cone. Facility must cover the pipe to prevent it from extending out of the ground so that a hazard cone is no longer necessary. There are also a large amount of rocks on the playground that must be removed. It appears that the rocks are being used to support drainage, which was confirmed by the Facilities Manager. The playground is going to be resurfaced and the pipe will be covered. The school age playground is in need of mulching and will need to be mulched prior to the summer when the school age children are present.

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.
