They never answer phone. I had to go in person. Gave my application twice and never received a call back for a start date and the Director is never there. When I came the second time I was able to get on the elevator to the second floor and go down the steps to the first floor . No type of security. I would not feel safe with my baby there. Choose somewhere else if you can

Tyah HardemanDec 7, 2023My daughter and I have had an amazing experience at Hug Me Tight since she enrolled there at two years old (2021). We went from her being with me everyday for the first two years of her life to a smooth transition into this program. I knew when she let me leave with no hesitation that the staff members here had good energy. They teach the infants, toddlers and children here so many skills that they need for kindergarten, they’re really patient and they care for them efficiently. I’ve seen some staff members stay for years, and I’ve seen some who stayed briefly. I assume (based on some of these past reviews and the quick turnover for some staff) that they’ve raised the standards for staff members there. The ones who my baby is with everyday are great! From encouraging my daughter, to adjusting to my daughter’s learning style, to reassuring me and respecting my boundaries (my baby has a mostly plant based diet). Also, it might be worth mentioning, my baby is in the location next to the hill house. Idk if the location inside the hill house still exists. They assisted my baby with her potty training journey, identifying and tracing her name, counting to 20, and with social skills with other children. She’s currently only three.
Shamel GreenMay 4, 2023HUG ME TIGHT , is a great daycare center. You know those first mom jitters you get picking a daycare for your child. I didn’t have to worry when I decided to put my toddler in that center , once meeting the staff and touring the facility. They nurture my lil one , helped me with potty training and teaches my child new things on a daily basis and enjoys the staff and her new friends .
Miona HarveyMay 3, 2023I was a very worried parent at first when I brought my child here just because I was new to taking my child to daycare. My child absolutely loved his teachers and they where very sweet and gentle with him. Things got rough through the pandemic and that was to be expected, however they did not have a infant room when I had another child so I had to switch my children to a different daycare. I completely hated the other daycare. When Hug Me Tight had availability in their infant room I immediately transferred my children back. The staff is great with my children and the facility is very well maintained. Please see for yourself before going off of the reviews. We as parents have to give credit where credit is due. I appreciate all the staff and teachers that have treated my children with white glove treatment.
Tylesha YatesMay 3, 2023Hug me tight daycare is every parent worst nightmare. If staff don’t like you then don’t leave your child. On two separate occasions I pick up my child and he had bleach stains on his clothing. I then went to the higher ups and clearly nothing was done and not to mention I got confronted by a staff member because I complain about the bleach stains(I have pictures as proof) . This one day I forgot my son milk rushing and ask them to give him juice for the day and another staff member was being smart and told me they didn’t have any juice in the facility.🙄 like sis why are you being smart. It was like I was in high school all over again. Keep in mind I always pick up and drop my son off ON-TIME and paid my co-pay. Also while my child was in their care they didn’t read, sing, talk or do anything learning with him. If your child isn’t a robot or if your child is a clingy baby this daycare isn’t for you. I told them that I could only leave work if it was an emergency pertaining my child and guess what my son would be fussy for unknown reasons and they would claim he was sick and for me to leave work just to come and get him. I would then beg my supervisor to leave. once I got him home he was as normal as can be. Also There were plenty of times I walk-in to pick up my child and staff were sitting around gossiping. There were several times when I pick up my child and he was siting in the high chair or in the crib while all the other babies where out playing. I had to tell them that if my son isn’t eating or sleeping, then he shouldn’t be in the high chair or crib. There were a few good staff but the ones I had problems with (they know who they are) seriously need some customer service skills. The state need to get in there ASAP.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against HUG ME TIGHT CHILDLIFE CENTERS INC?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against HUG ME TIGHT CHILDLIFE CENTERS 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 HUG ME TIGHT CHILDLIFE CENTERS INC accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. HUG ME TIGHT CHILDLIFE CENTERS INC holds a subsidy agreement with the state. 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 5.
Does this page show inspection results for HUG ME TIGHT CHILDLIFE CENTERS 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 HUG ME TIGHT CHILDLIFE CENTERS INC's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
