Common questions

Has Treasured Times Learning Center had any serious violations?

Pennsylvania cited 20 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 Jun 25, 2026 (background checks): “Staff #1 lacked a valid disclosure statement (SEE LIS Code Sheet). The disclosure statement on file for Staff #1 was not the Disclosure Statement for Child Care Employment dated 1/1/25.” Pennsylvania’s records don’t grade violations by severity; each citation is listed in full above.

Have there been complaints about Treasured Times Learning Center?

Pennsylvania lists 4 complaint investigations since 2021 in which it found at least one violation; the violations are listed above. Its search shows these “verified complaints” but not what a complaint alleged, or whether every violation relates to it.

What is Treasured Times Learning Center’s Keystone STARS rating?

STAR 4, effective Aug 4, 2026. 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.
