Common questions

Has Laing Youth Club had any serious violations?

Pennsylvania cited 10 violations 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 Jul 1, 2026 (background checks): “Staff #1 was observed to be working with children without the results of the NSOR clearance on file.” Pennsylvania’s records don’t grade violations by severity; each citation is listed in full above.

Have there been complaints about Laing Youth Club?

Pennsylvania lists no complaint investigation that found a violation at Laing Youth Club since 2021. Its search shows these “verified complaints” but not what a complaint alleged, or whether every violation relates to it.

What is Laing Youth Club’s Keystone STARS rating?

STAR 1, effective Aug 1, 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 Laing Youth Club compare with other daycares in Harrisburg?

It is tied for #63 of 75 centers in Harrisburg by topic-weighted citations per inspection, and has more citations per inspection than 88% of Pennsylvania certified centers with enough inspection history to compare.

When was Laing Youth Club last inspected?

Jul 1, 2026 (unannounced monitoring). The state cited at least one violation during that visit.

How much does Laing Youth Club cost?

It reported full-time daily rates of $34.00 for young school-age, $34.00 for older school-age in Pennsylvania’s COMPASS search. Rates can change; confirm with the center.

Who runs Laing Youth Club?

The legal entity on its Pennsylvania certificate is The Latchkey Center LLC.
