Description: Greetings! Welcome to University Child Care. Our teachers work to facilitate "active learning" in a developmentally appropriate environment for young children, and their parents. Our goal is to promote physical, cognitive, linguistic, nutritional, social and emotional development in an environment which prides inself on the caring and nurturing of our children, parents and student staff. We also focus on supporting the development and parenting efforts of our student parents whom we attempt to assist, whenever appropriate, with their parental responsibilities.
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: A child was playing and fell and hit his head. The teacher checked the child for bumps and bruises and there were none. This occurred at 9:15 am. The child was fine for some time, but when they went outside the child was playing on the scooter, and became sleepy. The child eventually tried falling asleep inside which is when the teacher contacted the parent via email. and vomited. The center did not notify the parent until 11:30am via email. The center was unaware that the head injury was serious, as the child had no symptoms immediately. The center stated the teacher monitored the child through out the day, and when the child vomited the parents were called. | |||

| Findings: Although many measures were in place to ensure the safety and security of each child at all times, a safety breach did occur on Monday afternoon, October 29, 2018, when a child was able to leave the center unnoticed. Through Towson University investigations, it is stated that the southeast gate of the playground was suspected to be the breach point. It appears that the gate was securely closed but that either the magnetic lock was not secured or malfunctioned. This gate and lock were stated to have been corrected and additional safety measures have stated to have been instituted as per interview and letter sent to Towson University Child Care parents as noted in other areas of this report. Supervision will be addressed in COMAR 13A.16.08.01A(2)(b). | |||
