Help Needed to Update Childcare Resource Guide

We're in need of your help and recommendations! It's been a few years since we did a big update of our childcare resource guide and we'd love input from you to ensure it's a helpful guide to parents.

One section of the guide includes a list of recommended childcare centers near UMBC. This list was compiled based on parents' experiences and recommendations. Below is the list as it currently stands. What should be edited or included? Do you think having such a list in the guide is helpful or should we remove it? 

We're in the process of updating outdated links, but please feel free to review the guide in its entirety and share other thoughts or recommendations you have to make this guide a useful resource. You can comment below or email womenscenter@umbc.edu. 

Thanks!

Jess and the Women's Center Staff
