  • My children will not be attending this center again. There are safer options out there.

  • Watch your kids here. Not only do they have a child, but there is a mom working here protecting the child. Making sure my kids stay safe far away from here. Kids can be guilty of the same things adults can be.

  • Pulled my kids out when another parent told me some information about another child under the care of this daycare and his mom. New information online has been updated and I'm so glad my kids are safe elsewhere.

    Alice ReidDec 9, 2025
  • After being told some disturbing information about a new member of staff and her son here, I'm glad I found another form of childcare when I did. I thought background checks were mandatory for childcare workers.

Is SONBEAM EARLY LEARNING CENTER a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?

Yes. SONBEAM EARLY LEARNING CENTER holds Pennsylvania certificate 100178502-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Juniata County. The current certificate runs to April 30, 2027. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.

What is SONBEAM EARLY LEARNING CENTER's Keystone STARS rating?

Pennsylvania rates SONBEAM EARLY LEARNING CENTER STAR 4, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on October 10, 2025. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against SONBEAM EARLY LEARNING CENTER?

No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against SONBEAM EARLY LEARNING 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 SONBEAM EARLY LEARNING CENTER accept child care subsidy?

Yes. SONBEAM EARLY LEARNING 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 8.

Does this page show inspection results for SONBEAM EARLY LEARNING 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 SONBEAM EARLY LEARNING CENTER's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
