Both of my sons attended here and it was the best decision my husband and I could have made. The staff is very attentive and genuinely care about the children. Communication is always on point and any “issues” are quickly & efficiently addressed. My oldest son is in school now but still talks about this establishment. When we did our tour years ago the first thing we noticed was how clean and organized everything is at the facility. I highly recommended here whenever someone asks.
Shantay MormanJan 10, 2026BEST daycare in the city friendly staff, my children are always happy to go there.
Justeen MooreMay 20, 2025This daycare is a joke!!!! The workers came outside of the daycare to fight a parent that was dropping off her child leaving the kid’s unattended, the very heavy set worker jump on the mom knowing that she really couldn’t do anything because she had her child with her while the children stood at the door yelling and screaming, it was horrible…. The director was very unprofessional as you can see in other pass post, the workers were screaming at her baby, the staff had family members come up to the school with guns trying to intimidate the mother, the police did absolutely nothing to help the parent but thankfully bystanders from other businesses got the mothers information and said they would give statements about what they saw and heard them threatening to come to the mothers home because they have her address on file…. If your kids go here I feel sorry that you subject them to this type of behavior…. Very ghetto and unprofessional establishment.
Tosh PApr 29, 2025My daughter went here for 1 and a couple months my day loved the place and the teachers are so awesome and really help you with all your child needs and offer so much help
Ciana EvansApr 8, 2024My grandson has been going here for almost a year. Staff are great. The location is great.
Lisa WilliamsJan 5, 2024I love LLG! They have been like family to my children and myself. My children enjoy the environment and are learning. I have peace of mind when they are there.

The current certificate runs to November 11, 2026. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is LEARNING LAUGHING AND GROWING CHILDCARE ACADEMY's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates LEARNING LAUGHING AND GROWING CHILDCARE ACADEMY STAR 4, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on June 26, 2026. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against LEARNING LAUGHING AND GROWING CHILDCARE ACADEMY?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against LEARNING LAUGHING AND GROWING CHILDCARE ACADEMY 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 LEARNING LAUGHING AND GROWING CHILDCARE ACADEMY accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. LEARNING LAUGHING AND GROWING CHILDCARE ACADEMY 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 18.
Does this page show inspection results for LEARNING LAUGHING AND GROWING CHILDCARE ACADEMY?
- 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 LEARNING LAUGHING AND GROWING CHILDCARE ACADEMY's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
