If you’re looking for a good daycare center for your child this is not the one. Staff were good for the most part. The director was not professional or the owner. Anytime you voiced concerns with director or owner it was shrugged off or issues were pointed back to your child. After I gave my notice that my child was switching to a new daycare in her last two weeks I started noticing notes on the child care app that my child hit another child and bit another child, my child is not a bitter and does not bite at home, in fact she has been bitten there multiple times. In the last week the owner came up to me while dropping my child off and started basically picking about things I know my child does not normally do. I really felt the owner was purposely trying to get me to pull my child before her last week there. The final straw was that same day I got a call that my child fell backwards on their floor onto the back of her head, when I got there and requested the video of it the owner told me she was on the phone with Easton Utilities due to a recent storm knocked out their WiFi so the cameras for that day were not recording. Just a terrible experience and I hope another parent does not have to go through it.
Katie WhartonJul 18, 2026My child attended BB for 2 years before starting Kindergarten. We were very pleased with our experience at this center. The Pre-K structure and curriculum prepared him well for starting school. There was a good mix of creativity, free play, structured learning and outdoor time. The staff did a great job of celebrating holidays and providing opportunities for parents to participate in events. My child misses the teachers and friends made while at BB.
Julia SchinaultJan 6, 2026Best Buddies is by far one of the best child care centers on the Eastern Shore. My child started in the infant room and has transitioned to the toddler room. All staff members are fantastic and very attentive to each and every child. Best Buddies does a fantastic job at working with the parents to help your child work towards goals and milestones. I highly recommend Best Buddies for any of your child care needs.
Nicholas HosfeltMar 18, 2024After 25 yrs running Creative Corner, I hoped to find a new owner that would continue the desire to promote “The Center family”, learning through play, and the love of childhood.. I am happy to say that Barbie is that person and the Best Buddies program shows the enthusiasm and joy of learning. Just walk in and you can feel the excitement/ energy of new adventure and learning for the children. 💕😀💕
Janine ConwayAug 24, 2023BBLC is an amazing center! The kids achieve greatness and Ms.Barbie is absolutely outstanding! She has so much knowledge and talent. The kids love her along with the parents! Best center to send your babies !!
Sydney RobertsAug 19, 2023The owner Ms. Barbie is such a wonderful soul and is super hands on to help with the center's needs. The staff are lovely, cheerful and care deeply for each of their children!

Questions parents ask about Best Buddies Learning Center at the Shore
Is Best Buddies Learning Center at the Shore a licensed child care provider in Maryland?
- Yes. Best Buddies Learning Center at the Shore holds Maryland licence 1746224360082x678922596006934700, listed as "CONTINUING - FULL" by the Office of Child Care, Maryland State Department of Education in Talbot County. The licence is recorded as Continuing - Full, running to May 31, 2027. Confirm current standing with the Office of Child Care before enrolling.
What does Maryland record about Best Buddies Learning Center at the Shore's standing?
- Maryland records Best Buddies Learning Center at the Shore'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.
How many children is Best Buddies Learning Center at the Shore licensed for?
- Maryland's record lists 6 infant places for Best Buddies Learning Center at the Shore. Those are the only two age bands this dataset publishes, so they are not a total capacity and do not describe toddler or preschool places. Ask the provider for its full licensed capacity.
Does Best Buddies Learning Center at the Shore operate all year?
- Maryland records Best Buddies Learning Center at the Shore 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 Best Buddies Learning Center at the Shore?
- 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 Best Buddies Learning Center at the Shore'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.
