Why this rating
This daycare earned 4 out of 5 stars overall. Process quality reflects a Keystone STARS rating of STAR 4 ACC. Structural quality reflects a 100% violation rate across 3 visits in the last 3 years (most recently inspected November 2025). The structural rating also includes Pennsylvania's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. Pennsylvania caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:5, and preschool ratios at 1:10. Lead teachers must hold a High School Diploma. Teachers must complete 6 hours of annual training.
