Reviews
This center only has a 2 Star rating out of possible 4 by PA Keystone Child Care program ratings. I can verify there are better quality centers in the area with much better teachers. These teachers seem minimally educated, perhaps been there too long, seem to be going through the motions? Also, recent reports of lice outbreak in a classroom in Sept 2015. Ask these questions before enrolling.
