I have used this provider for less than 6 months
DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. Other Daycares in the area are expensive so this is the most affordable one and probably why folks keep their kids there. My baby was there for 4 months and it was the worst experience I've had. The place is not cleaned properly, the staff is unprofessional unqualified, and Shannon the Director is one of the worst personalities I've ever encountered. She constantly lies, breaking down every trust you would have in a person cares for your child. She used to drive the van and I'm certain she's the one who answered the call the person mentioned earlier in this comment section. She's just rude and uncouth. Some folks may have had a good experience there but I will say this, if you ever encounter an issue and need it addressed, you will be met with over-talking and constant condescending behavior. If you need further confirmation, look up their Baltimore County inspection reports and see what the infractions are. Dirty, dirty, unqualified teachers, hazards for the kids, improper documentation, leaving too many babies in 1 person's care, etc.

About the Provider
We believe that the parent's role in the development of the child must be supported and reinforced through the center’s programs.
We believe that there are certain basic values such as; honesty, integrity, truthfulness, caring, concern, independence, and self-esteem, which must become a part of the child if he/she is to function as a responsible citizen in our society. We believe that children must be encouraged to express their feelings. The parent’s support of these philosophies is a vital part of children's growth. Our programs provides for emotional, social, physical, and academic growth and development of the young child.
