“Core safety” marks citations about supervision and staff ratios, discipline and caregiver conduct, background checks, child protection and safe sleep, the topics our score weights most. 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 ST Bede School had any serious violations?

Pennsylvania cited 7 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 Nov 12, 2025 (background checks): “The file for Staff #1 contained a PA State Criminal clearance dated 11/12/25 which was obtained more than 60 months from the previous PA State Criminal clearance dated 6/16/20.

Have there been complaints about ST Bede School?

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

What is ST Bede School’s Keystone STARS rating?

STAR 1, effective Feb 27, 2020. 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.

It is tied for #160 of 251 centers in Pittsburgh by topic-weighted citations per inspection, and has more citations per inspection than 89% of Pennsylvania certified centers with enough inspection history to compare.

Who runs ST Bede School?

The legal entity on its Pennsylvania certificate is Saint Bede Parish.
