  • I can’t recommend Daycare by Joy highly enough! From the moment I enrolled my child, Ms. Joy and her family has been incredibly welcoming and nurturing. The environment is clean, safe, and full of engaging activities that encourage both learning and play. Ms Joy and her family are attentive and genuinely care about the children. They provide daily updates, which gives me peace of mind knowing how my child is doing throughout the day. I appreciate the emphasis on social skills and creativity, as my child has blossomed since starting here. Overall, Daycare by Joy has exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a supportive and enriching environment for your little one, this is the place!

  • For the past three years, Daycare by Joy has been an incredible part of our lives. Ms. Joy and her family have provided exceptional care and love to my daughter, Aneesah, who is now five years old. From the very first day, it was clear that this daycare was more than just a place for children to stay; it was a nurturing environment where each child is treated like family. Ms. Joy’s dedication and genuine affection for the children are evident in everything she does. Aneesah has thrived under her care, developing not only academically but also emotionally and socially. The warm, welcoming atmosphere created by Ms. Joy and her family has made Aneesah feel safe and loved every single day. The activities and learning experiences provided are thoughtfully designed to engage and inspire the children. Aneesah has come home excited about new things she has learned and eager to share her experiences. The personal attention and encouragement she has received have been instrumental in her growth and confidence. I am incredibly grateful for the peace of mind that comes with knowing my daughter is in such capable and caring hands. Daycare by Joy has truly been a second home for Aneesah, and I cannot recommend them highly enough to any parent looking for a loving and supportive daycare environment. Thank you, Ms. Joy and family, for your unwavering commitment to excellence and for the love you have shown Aneesah over these wonderful years.

  • My son attended here for almost three years. Mrs Gillis was so patient and kind. She helped my son prepare for school in many ways. He still talks about her until this day (he’s 7). Sincere sends his love Juju 💜 you were the best preschool teacher ever. Thank you for everything.

  • Our son has been with Miss Joy since July 2021 and I am so glad we found her. She is so wonderful and caring. My son has some developmental delays and she is so nurturing and attentive with him. She keeps us updated each day on what he is doing that day and pictures of him. He loves her and he is always a very happy guy when we come to pick him up. Our experience with Miss joy has been amazing and we look forward to more years with her!

  • My sons have been attending Daycare by Joy for a year. In that time, I have seen so much growth in them, especially the oldest one. At the age of 2, he has learned his ABCs, how to count to 20, he can spell his name, he knows his primary colors and many others beyond those, he knows his shapes, the days of weeks, the months of the year, and "site" words such as go and run. I could go on and on about the many things he has learned and retained. Mrs. Felicia J. Gillis is kind, patient, and nurturing. I am so glad we found Daycare by Joy!

Questions parents ask about Daycare By Joy

Is Daycare By Joy a licensed child care provider in Maryland?

Yes. Daycare By Joy holds Maryland licence 1746222028372x682876716080755000, listed as "CONTINUING - FULL" by the Office of Child Care, Maryland State Department of Education in Baltimore County. The licence is recorded as Continuing - Full, running to February 28, 2027. Confirm current standing with the Office of Child Care before enrolling.

How many children is Daycare By Joy licensed for?

Maryland's record lists 4 infant places and 4 school-age places for Daycare By Joy. 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 Daycare By Joy operate all year?

Maryland records Daycare By Joy 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 Daycare By Joy?

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 Daycare By Joy'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.
