This childcare facility is awesome. The owner is very dedicated to the facility. She goes the extra mile for her children and families. She works with you when you don’t have payment. All she ask is for communication. Tbh I don’t think she charges enough for child care. At $200 a week for 50 hrs a week for care is $40 a day that’s $4 a hr for a 10hr day. Very reasonable.
Jovani StewartFeb 18, 2023Black Owned! the owner of this daycare has truly been there for me and my babies. I recently was in quite some rough patches and you helped me and my family out tremendously. Thank you Mrs T and family for treating my babies well and keeping them safe! I couldn’t ask for a better daycare! My babies love you guys! You all are all they talk about when I pick them up!!
Tivonaah WhitmoreFeb 16, 2023It’s been a great experience so far. The communication here is excellent. They have an app which you can get updates on your baby performance, (photos too) which is super great if you’re someone who is skeptical about daycare. They also send school events and requirements for your child. Clean facility, the teachers are polite, and understanding. Miss Angela is heaven sent. If you’re a first time mom like me and ever need advice she’s awesome. My baby loves it here. As soon as she arrives, she takes right off inside. Thank you Lil Darlings III team.
EshaFeb 16, 2023My Children Have Been Going Here Since They Were Born My Daughter Is Now 6 Years Old & She’s In The First Grade Getting Distinguished Honor Roll Each Marking Period. I Know That With The Things She Learned Over The Years It’s Because Of This Childcare Facility . My Son Is Now 4 Years Old & He’s Very Bright As Well . I Highly Recommend Lil Darlings For Any & Every Child .
KOBEENFeb 16, 2023My daughter attended Lil’Darlings Day Care and it is a caring, clean, and supportive place for children and families. Great academic learning environment with fun activities for children year round!
Jackie IrvingFeb 16, 2023‼️MONEY HUNGRY ‼️ She’s been placing my daughter as attending the school SINCE DAY ONE ( SEPTEMBER ) was the enrollment. She got me when she said she’ll take my SCHOOL AGE DAUGHTER and bring her to little darling FOR FREE! So I enrolled my daughter there kinda felt little persuade cause again my daughter is school age but transportation makin less weight on me I agree. Just to turn around and now gotta pay a 25$ fee for transportation on top of co pay ?! No, so From enrollment on out to today she’s been marking my daughter PRESENT THERE. My daughter hasn’t been there since JANUARY AND THAT WAS FOR TWO DAYS!!!! Because i have no record of my child being there its what “little darlings” say goes. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IF YOU HAVE SCHOOL AGE KIDS DO NOT ENROLL YOUR SCHOOL AGE KIDS UNLESS ITS BENEFICIAL TO YOU AND YOUR CHILD CAUSE THEY WILL USE YOUR CHILD NAME FOR THE DAYCARE BENEFIT! NOT YOURS. NOW BECAUSE SHE CANNOT HAVE A ADULT CONVERSATION WITH ME SHE CALLED ME A LAIR AND SHE DIS ENROLLED MY SON. REPORTS WILL GO OUT TO THE STATE FOR THIS ONE. That place is the definition of MONEY HUNGRY ESTABLISHMENT

What is LIL DARLINGS III CHILDCARE CENTER's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates LIL DARLINGS III CHILDCARE CENTER STAR 1, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on June 10, 2023. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against LIL DARLINGS III CHILDCARE CENTER?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against LIL DARLINGS III 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 LIL DARLINGS III CHILDCARE CENTER accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. LIL DARLINGS III 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 15.
Does this page show inspection results for LIL DARLINGS III 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 LIL DARLINGS III CHILDCARE CENTER's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
