My daughter has been at this day care since she was 4 months old. She is now almost 7 and attends the summer program. As with every day care there are ups and downs . Unless you are home with your child it won’t be the same, anywhere . I will say that in the last 7 years I have not had a single concern that was not addressed & feel that teachers care about the children there . I do feel that maybe more structure especially for the school age kids could help for the summer program but overall , this is a day care that I would recommend.
Selma SinanovicDec 7, 2025My son has been going to playway since he was 6 months old and he is now 3. He has learned so much! everyday he comes home with a new worksheet And the teachers are so good to him! Never had an issue with any teacher. He is so loved there. He will be staying there until he goes to kindergarten. Highly recommend
MercedesDec 3, 2025My kids have been going to playway for almost 2 years now. They love their teachers and always have fun stories to tell me. You can tell the staff truly care about their wellbeing. They are patient and kind with my hyper son, and have always supported his special needs!
Kathryn BuckelNov 26, 2025I absolutely love this daycare. The staff is amazing — patient, supportive, and they truly know my son. He’s been going here for a while now, and every single person treats him with the care and understanding he needs. You can tell they actually pay attention and know how to work with him. I feel safe and confident leaving him here every day.
Kendra WarrenNov 25, 2025Very good daycare.! My daughter loves going to daycare everyday to see her friends and teachers. I would recommend to everyone to try it out

The current certificate runs to May 1, 2027. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is PLAYWAY LOVING CHILD CARE CENTER's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates PLAYWAY LOVING CHILD CARE CENTER STAR 4, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on May 5, 2026. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against PLAYWAY LOVING CHILD CARE CENTER?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against PLAYWAY LOVING CHILD CARE 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 PLAYWAY LOVING CHILD CARE CENTER accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. PLAYWAY LOVING CHILD CARE 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 1.
Does this page show inspection results for PLAYWAY LOVING CHILD CARE 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 PLAYWAY LOVING CHILD CARE CENTER's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
