Awesome all the way around! I love the owner and staff. My kids love going there! I have been to other daycares and none even come close to Smarty Pants. I definitely recommend...my kids won’t go anywhere else!
Love it, Love it, Love it! Awesome owner and staff, very clean!
I started out with this daycare as a client. Over the few years that my kids attended, I loved this place so much that I took a job offer from the owner. I have since been an employee for the last 8 years. I am disgusted about the negative comments about MY daycare! The owner is a wonderful person. She has bent over backwards for our clients. I guess with anything in life, when a person thinks they are entitled to a service and they don't do what they are suppose to do, everyone is at fault but themselves. Our children are very well taken care of and loved like they are our own. Also if this was such a terrible daycare, why would anyone in there right mind keep their child in our facility for over 6 months.....
My children have attended this facility for several years. The facility is clean and organized. The staff are in uniform daily, wear name tags, and are passionate about working with the kids. The directors work hard to keep paperwork updated, work with schedule changes, and keep us in the loop. The owner goes above and beyond to help everyone. I have never had any problems here and would recommend this daycare to anyone who wants a daycare who works with you. This daycare does not break the rules. They are very strict about policy, but I like that.
Never in ratio. Owner is a narcissist. Very manipulative and a liar. Center is clean but children are often neglected.

|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The emergency contact form had a person listed for contact, but the mother only wrote the contact in the person to whom the child may be released, not in both sections.

|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) This power strip was recently installed to power staff tablets used for lesson planning. Typically, all tablets are plugged in therefore the safety plugs were not needed. On this particular day, all tablets were in use therefore caused non-compliance. Safety plugs were immediately placed. |

Outdoor play space used by the facility is considered part of the facility premises. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Staff are trained on proper supervision as well as where they should position themselves in the room. At the time, a staff member was indeed sitting on the floor on the opposite side of a round 42 inch table, and there was a child on a rest mat on the other side of the table, approximately 4 feet away.

| 2025-03-26 | Renewal | 3270.14/3270.21 - Pertinent Laws & Regulations/General Health and Safety | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.14/3270.21 Description: Pertinent Laws & Regulations/General Health and Safety Noncompliance Area: The facility had a policy that addressed the recognition of potential signs and symptoms of shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma and strategies for coping with a crying, fussing, and distraught child, but the policy did not address the prevention and identification of child maltreatment. The files of Staff #1, #3, and #4 lacked documentation of completing the Pennsylvania Health and Safety Update 2022 by December 30, 2022 (SEE LIS Code Sheet). The file of Staff #1 contained documentation of completing the health and safety update on 1/26/23. The file of Staff #3 contained documentation of completing the health and safety update on 9/11/23. The file of Staff #4 contained documentation of completing the health and safety update on 1/25/23. Correction Required: A facility shall be operated in conformity with applicable Federal and State laws and regulations.State agencies whose regulations may relate to the operation of a facility include the Department of Environmental Resources, the Department of Labor and Industry, the Department of Health, the Department of Education and the Department of Transportation. Conditions at the facility may not pose a threat to the health or safety of the children. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) This facility believed we were in compliance with this policy requirement as the policy listed signs and symptoms of neglect and abuse, however, it did not specifically say "maltreatment". We have updated the policy to include specific verbiage and included the preventive measures. All staff have had the health and safety updated training and we were already cited for this prior. At the time of the training, something was going on the with the stars registry and our trainings did not show up on the registry unbeknown by any of us. At the time of inspection, it was discovered. Some staff printed their certificates prior and were able to prove they took it, most did not have a printed certificate so we were cited and had to retake it. Apparently not all staff who had to retake it were mentioned in the citation, but it had already been corrected. |

| 2025-03-26 | Renewal | 3270.27(a)(3) - Contact when arises | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.27(a)(3) Description: Contact when arises Noncompliance Area: The facility did not have an emergency plan that provides for a method for facility persons to contact parents as soon as reasonably possible when an emergency situation arises. Correction Required: The facility shall have an emergency plan that provides for a method for facility persons to contact parents as soon as reasonably possible when an emergency situation arises. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The current plan lists facility phones and cell phones as methods of communication but does not extend beyond that. I am currently revising the plan to include additional methods and change verbiage to make the plan clear and concise. |
|||
| 2025-03-26 | Renewal | 3270.27(a)(4) - Contact when ended | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.27(a)(4) Description: Contact when ended Noncompliance Area: The facility did not have an emergency plan that provides for a method for facility persons to inform parents that the emergency has ended and to provide instruction as to how parents can safely be reunited with their children. Correction Required: The facility shall have an emergency plan that provides for a method for facility persons to inform parents that the emergency has ended and to provide instruction as to how parents can safely be reunited with their children. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The current plan lists facility phones and cell phones as methods of communication with parents, however, it does not specifically say when "the emergency has ended and how and where they can be reunited with their children". I am currently revising the plan to include additional methods and to add specific verbiage detailing this information. |
|||
| 2025-03-26 | Renewal | 3270.27(a)(5) - Emergency plan | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.27(a)(5) Description: Emergency plan Noncompliance Area: The facility did not have an emergency plan that provides for accommodations for infants, toddlers, children with disabilities, and children with chronic medical conditions. Correction Required: The facility shall have an emergency plan that provides for accommodations for infants, toddlers, children with disabilities, and children with chronic medical conditions. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The current plan lists emergency care kits and travel first aid kits for accommodating all ages for a short period of time, not specifically infants and toddlers. The plan lists 3 travel first aid kits and 2 emergency care kits. The current plan does not list specific action plans for children with chronic medical conditions or children with disabilities, rather it is a general plan. I am currently revising the plan to include specific verbiage for infants and toddlers, children with disabilities, and children with chronic medical conditions, as well as additional measures. |

| 2025-03-26 | Renewal | 3270.27(a)(6)/3270.27(f) - Emergency plan/Emergency plan | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.27(a)(6)/3270.27(f) Description: Emergency plan/Emergency plan Noncompliance Area: The facility created an emergency drill log, but it did not address special accommodations the facility used for any category of children, the total number of adults and children participating in the drill, and problems encountered or observations during the drill. Correction Required: Emergency drills shall be conducted annually. Annual emergency drills shall be documented and on file at the facility. The operator shall send a copy of the emergency plan and subsequent plan updates to the local municipality and to the county emergency management agency. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) This facility created its own fire drill and emergency drill logs which listed the total number of staff and the total number of children, just not added together. Neither facility created log listed accommodations used or had an area to write for who/what. The facility fire drill log listed problems encountered but not our emergency log. This was an oversight on the executive director. The state fire drill log does not list this either. We will now use the state forms for fire drills and emergency drills to ensure compliance. |
|||
| 2025-03-26 | Renewal | 3270.27(e) - Letter to parents | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.27(e) Description: Letter to parents Noncompliance Area: The operator lacked documentation of providing a letter to the parent explaining emergency procedures addressing the following: accommodations for shelter of children during an emergency including lock-down, shelter in place at the facility and shelter at locations away from the facility premises; accommodations for evacuation of children from the facility building and evacuation of children to a location away from the facility premises; a method for facility persons to contact parents as soon as reasonably possible when an emergency situation arises; a method for facility persons to inform parents that the emergency has ended and to provide instruction as to how parents can safely be reunited with their children; and accommodations for infants, toddlers, children with disabilities, and children with chronic medical conditions. Correction Required: The operator shall provide to the parent of each enrolled child a letter explaining the emergency procedures. The operator shall also provide to the parent of each enrolled child a letter explaining any subsequent update to the plan. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) We did not create a letter for the parents detailing our emergency operations plan, however, we have a page in our welcome packet which provides a brief description of the plan, and we also show parents the plan during the enrollment process and go over it with them. Parents are updated on the plan annually and sign off on it. We will create a letter to provide this information and all updates annually in addition to the signature page. |

| 2025-03-26 | Renewal | 3270.31(e)(4)(i) - Age and Training | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.31(e)(4)(i) Description: Age and Training Noncompliance Area: Staff person #2 has not completed Pediatric first aid and CPR training on or before expiration of the most current certification. This is evidenced by the previously documented Pediatric first aid and CPR training on file expiring January of 2025. Documentation of updated Pediatric first aid and CPR training is not on file. Staff person #2 has documentation of completing first aid and CPR on 1/24/25 but it is not pediatric first aid/CPR training; however, the trainer is PQAS-certified in Pediatric first aid and CPR. Correction Required: Competence is the completion of training by a professional in the field of first-aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). All staff persons shall renew their certification in pediatric first aid and pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on or before the expiration of the most current certification. Until such time as the required training has been completed, staff person #2 must be supervised, when interacting with children at a minimum by an AGS who has completed all preservice trainings and has all qualifications to care for children unsupervised. If there are no staff person(s) available to supervise staff person #2, staff person #2 may not work in a child-care position at the facility |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Staff #2 had pediatric first aid/CPR on 1/20/25 with the rest of the staff. The card came back with the training date of 1/24/25 and did not say pediatric CPR and first aid. The facility requested a replacement card, but it had not yet been sent. None of the CPR cards were received until the end of February so the replacement card had not been received before the state inspection. This was no fault of the provider. The correct card has been received with the correct information and is on file. |
