One of the major reasons we exist at Macaroni KID Pasadena-Severna Park-Glen Burnie is to make life easier for parents. We know you parents work hard, play hard, and constantly juggle work and family life.
With this mind, we have created a back-to-school guide for the communities in northern Anne Arundel County--we aim to be your one-stop for everything you need to prepare you and your kids for returning to school. We hope it will be all you need to make life a little less hectic as we transition from summer to school.
