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 Tiny Tykes Academy LLC 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 Apr 8, 2026 (background checks): “The most recent Child Abuse clearance on file for Staff #1 was dated 4/4/18, more than 60 months prior. The two most recent Child Abuse clearances (8/21/20 & 11/18/25) and NSOR certificates (8/26/20 & 11/14/25) on file…” Pennsylvania’s records don’t grade violations by severity; each citation is listed in full above.

Have there been complaints about Tiny Tykes Academy LLC?

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

What is Tiny Tykes Academy LLC’s Keystone STARS rating?

STAR 1, effective May 28, 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.

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.

To check the state’s own record, search the center’s name on COMPASS Child Care Provider Search and open its inspection history. Data refreshed Oct 16, 2026.
