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.

  • We absolutely love Embark! Couldn’t ask for a more understanding and accepting school.

    Tiffany CullisonMar 5, 2025
  • Our family feels like we're part of another family within Embark. This is felt within the classrooms, the teachers, administration and other families. Thank you to Embark for giving our children a second home and a preschool to thrive in! We are beyond thankful for the holistic, inclusive and truly caring environment that Embark has cultivated.

  • The best daycare ever! We love it so much!

  • Would not recommend. Lack of communication and dishonesty from directors. They treated us like family at first and we loved it there. It all seemed to change overnight and their friendly facade was suddenly gone. There was a complete lack of communication and failure to report any concerns or problems for months. Our daughter was having behavioral issues but they failed to notify us- for months, there was no verbal or written communication. We were under the impression she was doing great. We were then blindsided with a demand that we would have to locate and pay the salary for a one-on-one aide and pick her up every day 3 hours early, among other ridiculous demands, for our child to remain enrolled. We were given a one week deadline to accomplish this, which was completely unrealistic. Becca also blatantly lied during our meeting several times and not one director accepted accountability for the lack of communication. It was clear they were pushing her out. For a center that embraces you like family, I was incredibly disappointed with their actions. They simply care about their bottom line and the appearance of diversity and inclusivity is an act. We moved our daughter to a smaller school that communicated appropriately, accepted our suggestions, and truly cared about our daughter and she is doing great.

Questions parents ask about Embark Education

Is Embark Education a licensed child care provider in Maryland?

Yes. Embark Education holds Maryland licence 1746216506727x118717165840351180, 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 August 31, 2027. Confirm current standing with the Office of Child Care before enrolling.

What does Maryland record about Embark Education's standing?

Maryland records Embark Education'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 Embark Education licensed for?

Maryland's record lists 6 infant places for Embark Education. 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 Embark Education operate all year?

Maryland records Embark Education 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 Embark Education?

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 Embark Education'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.
