  • My daughter loves it here and loves all of her teachers. It's very clean and they take very good care of her. She has been learning a lot and I'm very excited for her to enter her next class!

  • If your child has a disability and needs accommodations do not pick this daycare, they do not promote inclusion. They would rather my child be isolated for they own perfect picture. They literally asked me on the phone "before we go further, do you have accomodations your child needs for a a disability? I said yes speach therapy services actually and her IEP is written to be inclusive to the classroom. The therapy is more than once a week. So if it's a distraction so called why you can't take the kids outside ? Because everyone only cares about themselves and so if a wheelchair makes kids act up do you remove the wheelchair? Of course not but this was a reasoning. It makes me so sick to my stomach. Advantage childcare solutions provides accomodations for children with disabilities and is just another 5 mins away from Essex area. Do not support companies like this unless your raising your kids to be ignorant and self centered. If you have any.kore questions comment here and maybe we can connect up to to see how we can report this negligence on the kids development needs and they don't have no cut off time because they allow people in and out any time to isolate the kids from the others to receive therapy. That means the schedule gets broken which is the opposite of what a child needs.

  • We were very pleased with Giggle Box Learn N Play! The facility is extremely clean, great hi-tech security in place and the curriculum was on point and had our Grandson more than ready for Kindergarten. I can truly say that the staff treated our Grandson as if he was one of their own children. There was a morning when our Grandson was having a full on temper tantrum out on the sidewalk........ his teacher, Ms. Shanita heard him and came out and picked him up off the ground and cradled him onto her shoulders and carried him into the center. That is type of loving kindness that is shown on a daily basis. I would recommend Giggle Box to everyone who is searching for a Daycare that is like family!

  • I am very pleased with the services provided by Gigglebox for my 3 year old son. My son has been attending for over a year. He is happy, comfortable, and learning so much at this center. I appreciate all of the staff and the family-like environment. Everyone is so friendly and professional when I come into the center. I always see smiling faces! My son loves everyone here. The staff here at Gigglebox effectively communicate with me about everything involving my child and/or changes. Most importantly, I feel safe when I walk out of the door. I know I can trust every single person in the center. I can work without worrying about my son. That means alot to any parent that wants the best for their child. I highly recommend Gigglebox to any parent that is looking for a safe, fun, family-like, professional environment for their loved one. It is so good to see everyone working together for a common goal. Give Gigglebox a try and your kid will love the experience! -K.W.

Is Giggle Box Learn - N - Play a licensed child care provider in Maryland?

Yes. Giggle Box Learn - N - Play holds Maryland licence 1746217292659x561332160099599300, 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 March 30, 2027. Confirm current standing with the Office of Child Care before enrolling.

What does Maryland record about Giggle Box Learn - N - Play's standing?

Maryland records Giggle Box Learn - N - Play'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 Giggle Box Learn - N - Play licensed for?

Maryland's record lists 6 infant places and 57 school-age places for Giggle Box Learn - N - Play. 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 Giggle Box Learn - N - Play operate all year?

Maryland records Giggle Box Learn - N - Play 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 Giggle Box Learn - N - Play?

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 Giggle Box Learn - N - Play'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.
