  • They are great at communicating with you about your little one. NCM is a great daycare! They are clean and great with the kids! They are great at communicating with you about your little one because they know how important it is. NCM is not only a daycare but a place where your child can go every week and learn, have fun, grow and play with their peers without worrying about them not being treated as if they were with their own parent. Give them a try if you’re looking for a good place to take your little one, they offer tours to make sure it’s right for you! My daughter loved it & so did I as a parent. NCM IS MORE THAN A DAYCARE , IT IS A FAMILY ❤️❤️❤️❤️

  • Ever since this daycare opened, it has been an absolute blessing for the Lewis family. All five of my children have attended, and I can confidently say it feels like an extension of our home. The staff genuinely treat my kids as if they were their own, offering care, compassion, and an enriching environment. The learning curriculum is phenomenal—so much so that my daughter was able to skip kindergarten and continues to excel academically. During the pandemic, my children were kept safe and protected from being sick. It’s rare to find a place that combines top-notch education with such heartfelt dedication to children’s well-being. I can’t recommend this daycare enough!

  • My son has been attending NCMCC for over 2 years now and I couldn't be happier with my choice. They really are like family, and I never have any concerns about him being in their care. At 4 years old I know he's more than ready to jump into kindergarten next year and I know that's thanks to the curriculum and hands-on approach to education they provide. He's made great friendships and I've watched him grow leaps and bounds socially since attending. I look forward to enrolling my new baby there once I'm ready to go back to work full time and plan to keep my 4yo there as an after schooler for years to come.

  • I can’t say enough good things about Nurturing Creative Minds. The staff are incredibly patient and kind, and my children are excited to go every day. I love that they offer a variety of educational activities, like arts and crafts, outdoor play, and themed weeks that are both fun and educational. The staff is always friendly and ready to answer any questions, and I feel completely at ease knowing my children are in such a positive, nurturing environment. The experience has been wonderful! The teachers are attentive and create a safe space where my child can thrive. The curriculum is fantastic, focusing on both social and academic development, and we’ve already seen so much growth in our child. The facility is secure, well-maintained, and we really appreciate the daily updates on how our child’s day went. It’s such a relief to know our child is in such capable hands.

  • My 2 daughters were here for about 2-3 years and left in 9/2022. Loved Ms Candace and Ms Kaneisha they were very helpful and patient with my youngest even though she was a little difficult at times. The owner is malevolent

Pennsylvania rates NURTURING CREATIVE MINDS CHILDCARE STAR 4, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on July 5, 2026. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against NURTURING CREATIVE MINDS CHILDCARE?

No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against NURTURING CREATIVE MINDS CHILDCARE 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 NURTURING CREATIVE MINDS CHILDCARE accept child care subsidy?

Yes. NURTURING CREATIVE MINDS CHILDCARE 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 NURTURING CREATIVE MINDS CHILDCARE?

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 NURTURING CREATIVE MINDS CHILDCARE's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
