  • Both of our boys have loved the Ark. There are a lot of teachers there who have been there for 10+ years, which speaks to the kind of environment they foster for the staff and kids. Our boys have felt loved and supported. Definitely recommend.

  • We love the Children’s Ark! We have a 2 year old there now and our youngest is about to start in the infant room. The teachers at the Ark are very caring, attentive, and fun- it’s great to have the same teachers return year after year especially in the infant room. In the Toddler room, there is a new activity or craft each day and our 2 year old loves to play outside on the playground with his friends. And the best part of my day is seeing the many pictures of my smiling kiddo posted on the app.

  • Our 1.5 year old daughter just started a few weeks ago and already we couldn't be happier with our experience! Her teachers are so loving and engaged! They update the app all day long with pictures and notes about how her day is going and when I come to pick her up she's all smiles and giggles! It's so nice as a parent to know what great hands your little one is in when away from home.

  • My daughter started in the infant room three weeks. I cannot express how positive an experience this has been for my family. The teachers throughout the entire daycare are friendly, responsive, and amazing with our daughter. We get daily updates throughout the day which has helped the transition. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. A special shoutout to the teachers in the infant room, they are amazing and we completely trust them with the care of our daughter!

  • We are new to the Children’s Ark this year. As parents you are always a little nervous with having your child in a new environment. The transition for our little one has been such a smooth process due to the warm welcomes and open communication of the staff. Everyone greets you with a smile and they take the time to greet my son in the morning as soon as he walks in the door. I get updates and photos all day of the activities they do with the children. I have sent messages to the teachers with questions and their response time has been almost immediate which really helps put my mind at ease and makes us feel so valued as a family. Thank you for all that you do for our family and making our kiddo feel safe and making his new transition such a happy one!

    Rose WinchellSep 17, 2024
  • We’ve had children attending the Ark since 2016 and are so grateful for all the learning and love our children have received over the years. From the infant room to pre-k, the teachers and administrators have done a wonderful job taking care of our kids and creating an environment where they can grow and learn. We love it here and are so lucky to be a part of this community.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against THE CHILDRENS ARK AT ST GEORGES?

No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against THE CHILDRENS ARK AT ST GEORGES at the time the record was published.

Does THE CHILDRENS ARK AT ST GEORGES accept child care subsidy?

Yes. THE CHILDRENS ARK AT ST GEORGES 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 THE CHILDRENS ARK AT ST GEORGES?

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 THE CHILDRENS ARK AT ST GEORGES's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
