The Growing Patch is an amazing place to take your little ones! Everyone is so friendly and so accommodating. Knowing my little one is safe and happy everyday while I'm at work is the best feeling!! I recommend them to everyone!
Mia MikoliczykMay 13, 2026The Growing Patch has been a great place for our little one to thrive! Through all the hard phases of toddlerhood they have help guide us and her for success! Small enough to make close friends and everyone knows your name! Great fundraisers and community involvement! We love our growing patch family! 💚
Kylie CoxSep 8, 2025I have been through a few daycares with my 2 boys in the past 12 years. This daycare has been the best! They not only love, teach and care for the kids, they show them how to give back to the community through various projects each year including their annual lemonade stand and seedlimgs for seniors projects. They fill the summer with fun activities for the kiddos like long walks and water fun days. I can't say enough how much I appreciate them and value them for all they do!
Jaimie DiSabellaSep 8, 2024Our almost 2 year old has been enrolled at The Growing Patch for a little over 7 months now. He absolutely loves it and so do my husband and I. He is so excited to get dropped off at school every morning! The teachers are so kind and take wonderful care of him. As working parents, it is so comforting to know our son is being so well loved and cared for while he is at day care. They are constantly doing fun activities and projects. He learns something new every day. They also have a private Facebook group where they post photos for parents to see what the little ones are up to during the day. I can't say enough good things about The Growing Patch!
Hanna MuchaSep 6, 2024The Growing Patch has been the perfect fit for my soon to be two year old! She was in a different daycare prior to joining here and it's like night and day . She is so much happier and is learning new things every day there . The staff is AMAZING and you can tell they genuinely care about the children and helping them grow ! So happy I found this center and made the change ! They do so many activities with the children and are great with communication. 100% would recommend over any other center .
Nichole SantoroSep 5, 2024My son has been attending since he was 4 month old & he absolutely loves it! It’s so great to see the pictures of him having fun, playing with his friends and doing different activities every day. The staff is very open and kind, Sarah is always ready to help and answer our questions. The center is very clean, well-maintained and organized. The Growing patch is the best in the area and I definitely recommend it!!

What is THE GROWING PATCH EARLY LEARNING CENTER LLC's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates THE GROWING PATCH EARLY LEARNING CENTER LLC STAR 2, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on May 8, 2026. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against THE GROWING PATCH EARLY LEARNING CENTER LLC?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against THE GROWING PATCH EARLY LEARNING CENTER LLC 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 THE GROWING PATCH EARLY LEARNING CENTER LLC accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. THE GROWING PATCH EARLY LEARNING CENTER LLC 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 11.
Does this page show inspection results for THE GROWING PATCH EARLY LEARNING CENTER LLC?
- 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 GROWING PATCH EARLY LEARNING CENTER LLC's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
