Maryland publishes an infant band and a school-age band and no others, so these are not a total capacity and say nothing about toddler or preschool places.

Recent parent reviews

  • Our experience with World of Friends started off positive but quickly went downhill. My child was fortunate to have a compassionate and patient teacher early on, who truly supported him. After that teacher left, everything changed. The new leadership and staff did not show the same level of care or understanding for children with special needs. For someone who holds a special education degree, the way the director handled certain situations was appalling and extremely disappointing. It was also highly unprofessional to hear that the director spoke negatively about my child to outside professionals when I was not present. While I’m grateful for the time my child had with the supportive teacher, overall, I would not recommend World of Friends to families

  • My son attends there. I think the whole staff is rude and they need to make some adjustments..Just because s child has a disability doesn't mean he should get constantly yelled at and treated differently. And someone is communicating with my son's teachers and telling them lies. Perhaps I should call an attorney.

  • My step son attends there. Staff can be very rude and they need to hire someone who has good intentions not miserable

Questions parents ask about A World of Friends

Is A World of Friends a licensed child care provider in Maryland?

Yes. A World of Friends holds Maryland licence 1746216986002x626926498685308400, listed as "CONTINUING - FULL" by the Office of Child Care, Maryland State Department of Education in Baltimore City. The licence is recorded as Continuing - Full, running to June 30, 2027. Confirm current standing with the Office of Child Care before enrolling.

What does Maryland record about A World of Friends's standing?

Maryland records A World of Friends's status as "In Good Standing". That is a single status field in a snapshot, not a compliance history, and it is not the same as a clean inspection record. Maryland publishes inspection findings separately at checkccmd.org and they are not included here.

Does A World of Friends operate all year?

Maryland records A World of Friends as a "Full Year" programme. That is the schedule on the licence record rather than a timetable, so confirm term dates and closures with the provider.

Does this page show inspection results for A World of Friends?

No. Maryland inspects licensed child care programmes and publishes the results through Check Child Care Maryland at checkccmd.org. Those reports are not included here, so nothing on this page reflects A World of Friends's inspection history either way. This page's record comes from Maryland Family Network's LOCATE service, which carries licence and status data rather than inspection findings.
