Common questions

Has York Country Day School had any serious violations?

Pennsylvania cited 3 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 Sep 8, 2025 (background checks): “Documentation of the child abuse clearance on file for staff member 1, was obtained after the staff members first day caring for children.” Pennsylvania’s records don’t grade violations by severity; each citation is listed in full above.

Have there been complaints about York Country Day School?

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

What is York Country Day School’s Keystone STARS rating?

STAR 1, effective Oct 14, 2025. 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 York Country Day School compare with other daycares in York?

It is #42 of 43 centers in York by topic-weighted citations per inspection, and has more citations per inspection than 98% of Pennsylvania certified centers with enough inspection history to compare.
