  • My husband and I were both nervous when our son started at DK, but everyone has been so nice and so welcoming we couldn't be happier.

    Kelsi AherneJun 27, 2026
  • We love Discovery Kids! My son has been attending since he was 6 weeks (now 4 months old) and they have been wonderful and so kind. I love the communication app! It really helped me feel at ease when we first dropped him off. There is Nothing better than a mid day picture of your baby! It’s hard to find people who truly care about the children & they do!

Is DISCOVERY KIDS CHILDCARE CENTER a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?

The current certificate runs to September 2, 2026. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.

What is DISCOVERY KIDS CHILDCARE CENTER's Keystone STARS rating?

Pennsylvania rates DISCOVERY KIDS CHILDCARE CENTER STAR 4, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on October 24, 2025. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against DISCOVERY KIDS CHILDCARE CENTER?

No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against DISCOVERY KIDS CHILDCARE 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 DISCOVERY KIDS CHILDCARE CENTER accept child care subsidy?

Yes. DISCOVERY KIDS CHILDCARE 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 9.

Does this page show inspection results for DISCOVERY KIDS CHILDCARE 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 DISCOVERY KIDS CHILDCARE CENTER's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
