The current certificate runs to October 10, 2026. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is BEGINNING MOMENTS's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates BEGINNING MOMENTS STAR 4, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on June 8, 2026. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against BEGINNING MOMENTS?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against BEGINNING MOMENTS 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 BEGINNING MOMENTS accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. BEGINNING MOMENTS holds a subsidy agreement with the state. The agreement covers these age groups: Infant and toddler, 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 18.
Does this page show inspection results for BEGINNING MOMENTS?
- 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 BEGINNING MOMENTS's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
