We are a STAR 4 Center

This is the highest rating a center can reach!

Keystone STARS is a responsive system to improve, support, and recognize the continuous quality improvement efforts of early learning programs in Pennsylvania. Our system is guided by three core principles:

• A whole child approach to education is essential to meeting the holistic and individual needs of each and every child and family.

• Knowledgeable and responsive early childhood education (ECE) professionals and educators are essential to the development of children and the support of families.

• Building and sustaining ongoing positive relationships among children, families, early care and education professionals and community stakeholders is essential for the growth and development of every child.

We believe inclusion, diversity, equity and respect are foundational values embedded in these principles.
