Pennsylvania’s records don’t grade violations by severity. “Follow-up” marks a violation re-cited at a follow-up visit, counted once. How scores work.

Common questions
Has Glenwood Elementary School had any serious violations?
Pennsylvania cited 1 violation since 2021 on the topics Daycare Record treats as core safety (supervision, staff ratios, discipline, background checks, child protection or safe sleep). The most recent, on Nov 21, 2024 (background checks): “During the renewal inspection on 11/21-24/24, it was observed that the records of Staff person #1 did not include the correct Federal Bureau of Investigations clearance (FBI). The records of staff person #2 did not…” Pennsylvania’s records don’t grade violations by severity; each citation is listed in full above.
Have there been complaints about Glenwood Elementary School?
Pennsylvania lists no complaint investigation that found a violation at Glenwood Elementary School since 2021. Its search shows these “verified complaints” but not what a complaint alleged, or whether every violation relates to it.
What is Glenwood Elementary School’s Keystone STARS rating?
STAR 1, effective Aug 5, 2019. Keystone STARS is Pennsylvania’s quality rating program for child care, from STAR 1 to STAR 4. It measures program quality, not inspection results, so read both.
How does Glenwood Elementary School compare with other daycares in Media?
It is tied for #7 of 15 centers in Media by topic-weighted citations per inspection, and has fewer citations per inspection than 59% of Pennsylvania certified centers with enough inspection history to compare.
When was Glenwood Elementary School last inspected?
Jan 23, 2026 (unannounced monitoring). The state cited at least one violation during that visit.
Who runs Glenwood Elementary School?
The legal entity on its Pennsylvania certificate is Leading Edge Extended Learning.

Citations are quoted from Pennsylvania Department of Human Services inspection records (Office of Child Development and Early Learning, Bureau of Certification Services), including each finding and the center’s plan of correction. Rule numbers refer mostly to 55 Pa. Code Chapter 3270, the rules for child care centers; a few cite Chapter 20, which covers every certified facility. Pennsylvania’s records don’t grade violations by severity; the “core safety” label and the score are Daycare Record’s.
