Both my sons attended ABC for years. The teachers are amazing and are congnisant of differing needs for each child. ABC is great for socializing your children as well as helping them academically.
Erica KertisJul 23, 2026We absolutely loved ABC Children’s Center! The teachers were so kind, patient, and truly cared about every child’s growth and happiness. Our boys looked forward to going every day and always came home smiling and excited to share what they did. The classrooms were bright, clean, and full of engaging activities. We saw amazing progress in our child’s social and learning skills and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. We’d highly recommend ABC Children’s Center to any family looking for a loving, trustworthy daycare!
Breanna SundayNov 8, 2025Our family had such a wonderful experience with ABC Children’s. From the very beginning, they made us feel like part of their family. Our son was always excited to go each day and came home eager to share everything he had learned and done. His teachers were exceptional: patient, nurturing, and truly dedicated. Even on the days when our son could be a bit of a challenge, they met him with kindness and understanding. It was clear they genuinely cared for him and wanted the best for every child in their care. We’re so grateful for the positive impact ABC Children’s had on our family!
Stefanie SwegerNov 8, 2025We had both of our daughters at ABC from infant through preschool and absolutely loved the experience. We knew without a doubt our kiddos were receiving the best care available and never had to worry. We also loved how above and beyond they went with pj movie nights around the holidays that allowed us time to get shopping done and summer care once our kids were school age. Would recommend this facility to anyone and honestly miss seeing the teachers.
Kayla ImhoffNov 7, 2025We are big fans of ABC Children’s Center. Our children have attended since infants and we were never once concerned about their health or safety. ABC has done a wonderful job playing and educating them appropriately and we can see the care and compassion they have for each child. The facility and playground are well maintained, and our kids enjoy their time at ABC. We definitely recommend.
Brad and Susie AltersSep 26, 2025My great-niece has been attending ABC for 7 years. She started as a two-year-old and most recently attended the school-age summer camp as a nine-year-old. She has had wonderful teachers, one who is still invited to her birthday parties. She has made great friendships. When she started elementary school, she was well prepared. I highly recommend ABC Children’s Center. I always knew that my child was cared for and cared about by the staff.

Questions parents ask about ABC CHILDRENS CENTER
Is ABC CHILDRENS CENTER a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. ABC CHILDRENS CENTER holds Pennsylvania certificate 102213155-0002, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Centre County. The current certificate runs to October 27, 2026. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is ABC CHILDRENS CENTER's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates ABC CHILDRENS CENTER STAR 4, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on September 12, 2025. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against ABC CHILDRENS CENTER?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against ABC CHILDRENS CENTER 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 ABC CHILDRENS CENTER accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. ABC CHILDRENS CENTER holds a subsidy agreement with the state. The agreement covers these age groups: Infant and toddler, Preschool, School-age. 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 8.
Does this page show inspection results for ABC CHILDRENS CENTER?
- 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 ABC CHILDRENS CENTER's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
