Questions parents ask about FRIENDLY FACES
Is FRIENDLY FACES a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. FRIENDLY FACES holds Pennsylvania certificate 100109686-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Luzerne County. The current certificate runs to October 26, 2026. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is FRIENDLY FACES's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates FRIENDLY FACES STAR 1, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on July 19, 2019. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against FRIENDLY FACES?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against FRIENDLY FACES 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 FRIENDLY FACES accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. FRIENDLY FACES holds a subsidy agreement with the state. The agreement covers these age groups: 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 11.
Does this page show inspection results for FRIENDLY FACES?
- 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 FRIENDLY FACES's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
