I could not be more happy with the care provided everyday by this daycare! I came to them in a time of need due to terrible care from another daycare and the owner Sam was great and completely understanding. My son LOVES everyone. It is Family ran with other staff as well. Each staff member is great and they know little details about each of the kids they provide care for. They actively utilize the brightwheel app for you child's eating/bathroom habits & activites they do with them. I trust them completely with my son. I will always HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you so much for making my sons daycare experience so much better ! 💙
Gabriella PaneAug 16, 2024My daughter loved her time at a smart start. The staff was friendly and professional and it was reassuring to see that they were focused on creating a fun setting for each of the different age groups to learn,play,and create! 5 stars!
Casper DaghostMar 7, 2024So thankful for this daycare. The staff is so caring and I feel a relief every morning I drop my son off knowing he is in good hands. I am happy he has made friends and adjusted to the daycare gaining such a personality and learning so much!
Danika CooperMar 5, 2024My son went here for almost a year starting at about 7 months old in 2023. He went from the nursery to toddler room during that time and each different aged areas are ran so well and tailored to that age. The staff is amazing and If I ever need daycare assistance again I wouldn’t hesitate to call Sam !
Brittany CMar 3, 2024I am so glad my grandchildren are going to school here. everyone is always so nice and helpful when I go to pick them up.
rich segiliaOct 19, 2023Sam is great. She takes care of my grandbabies and I do believe that they love going there and feel that they love her as much as she loves them Ty Sam for making sure they are safe and happy every day!

What is A SMART START CHILD CARE LLC's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates A SMART START CHILD CARE LLC STAR 1, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on January 21, 2022. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against A SMART START CHILD CARE LLC?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against A SMART START CHILD CARE LLC at the time the record was published. That is a single field in a snapshot, not a full compliance history, and it is not the same as a clean inspection record. The licensing inspection detail is at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch.
Does A SMART START CHILD CARE LLC accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. A SMART START CHILD CARE LLC holds a subsidy agreement with the state. The agreement covers these age groups: Preschool. An agreement means the provider can bill the subsidy programme, not that a funded place is free today. Eligibility is decided by your Early Learning Resource Center, Early Learning Resource Center for Region 11.
Does this page show inspection results for A SMART START CHILD CARE LLC?
- No. Pennsylvania completes at least one unannounced inspection a year at every licensed provider, and publishes the results through the provider search at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch. Those results are not included here, and there is no open dataset of them, so nothing on this page reflects A SMART START CHILD CARE LLC's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
