I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude to Sound Start Child Care Center for providing a nurturing and supportive environment for my child to grow and thrive. Our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The center's commitment to early childhood education, combined with its warm and caring staff, made us feel confident and secure in our decision. The teachers' creativity, patience, and dedication to each child's unique needs have been impressive. We've witnessed our child develop socially, emotionally, and cognitively, and we attribute some of this growth to the center's engaging curriculum and activities. The open communication, regular updates, and opportunities for family involvement have also been appreciated. Sound Start has become an extension of our family, and we're grateful for the love, care, and education they've provided. We highly recommend Sound Start to any family seeking a trustworthy and nurturing childcare environment. Thank You for all that you do!😊
Shaneka EnglishMar 24, 2025The absolute best first daycare experience for our daughter! The staff there are phenomenal and it was just such a family environment. Being greeted by everyone including Anna and Beth every morning is something we miss so dearly. Only reason for leaving was because we moved :( I would recommend this center to everyone! My daughter was well taken care of and loved!
Keilani WalkerJul 18, 2023Love everything about this place. Only got to send my child here for a couple months due to us moving out - of - state. However, facility is beautiful and clean. Love the security process and peace of mind it creates. The app that keeps the parent aware of any incidents, meals and cute pictures throughout the day is a big plus! Ms. Beth and Ms. Anna do a great job running the place. Big shout to Ms. Kim and Ms. Ashley for embracing my kiddo and creating such a positive, educational and loving environment! Thank you. Highly recommend.

What is SOUND START CHILD CARE CENTER's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates SOUND START CHILD CARE CENTER STAR 4 - ACC, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on January 28, 2026. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against SOUND START CHILD CARE CENTER?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against SOUND START 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 SOUND START CHILD CARE CENTER accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. SOUND START CHILD CARE CENTER holds a subsidy agreement with the state. The agreement covers these age groups: Infant and toddler, Preschool. 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 SOUND START 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 SOUND START CHILD CARE CENTER's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
