Children’s Express has been wonderful for my daughter! The staff is amazing and I would highly recommend.
Paige JonesMay 11, 2026Great experience sending our oldest to CE. She absolutely loves going here and has made so many friends. The teachers and staff are so kind & supportive. They do so much with the kids and constantly keep them busy. They truly care! Nothing but good things to say! We are already planning to send our other littles here too when the time comes. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality childcare.
Brandy PettenatiMay 10, 2026Children’s express is the best daycare! Our daughter loves it here. She started in the preschool class with Ms. Jess. They do so many crafts, projects, field trips, and other fun themed days! CE keeps the school age students engaged all summer long! Some weeks seems more like a summer camp than daycare! Mrs. Becky and her staff truly love their jobs and all the kiddos.
Jessica AllenMay 10, 2023My son has been at Children’s Express for almost nine months! Everyone was so welcoming (including the kiddos). I love getting the monthly calendars and seeing the fun curriculum and events. I don’t know how they come up with such fun and educational stuff! Their ties to the community set them apart from other daycares/preschools! There are so many local field trips, visitors AND optional services offered at a great price (haircuts, photo sessions, TumbleBus). I wish I could keep him there until high school 🤣 we love you Childrens Express!
Sarah AlvarezMay 10, 2023My son has been attending since he was 1, he is now 5. I was an absolute nervous wreck taking my, then baby, to a daycare where I knew no one nor anything about daycare. They made me feel absolutely at ease about him and his care. (I literally called, messaged them, had my mother and husband do so as well every hour the first day.) My son, and now daughter, are learning so much! My daughter who is little over 1.5 years old, can count to 10!! They do an amazing job at teaching these kids. Both of my kids love going! Would 10/10 recommend!!
Laken AndersonMay 9, 2023Children's Express has been amazing with my children. The teachers all genuinely care about each of the children and have taught my kids so much during their time there! They also have great indoor and outdoor play areas, are always making crafts, creating experiences for the kids, and helping them grow and develop!

Questions parents ask about CHILDRENS EXPRESS INC
Is CHILDRENS EXPRESS INC a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. CHILDRENS EXPRESS INC holds Pennsylvania certificate 100142170-0005, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Cambria County. The current certificate runs to March 25, 2027. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is CHILDRENS EXPRESS INC's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates CHILDRENS EXPRESS INC STAR 1, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on March 24, 2020. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against CHILDRENS EXPRESS INC?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against CHILDRENS EXPRESS INC 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 CHILDRENS EXPRESS INC accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. CHILDRENS EXPRESS INC 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 6.
Does this page show inspection results for CHILDRENS EXPRESS INC?
- 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 CHILDRENS EXPRESS INC's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
