• Penn Pals is currently enrolled in the Keystone STARS. This is a program which enhances our center by rewarding us for going above and beyond the Department of Public Welfare’s standards. We are required to document certain aspects of your child’s development as well as information passed along to the parents.

​

• Upon your child’s enrollment, we encourage you to take advantage of our “Getting to Know You” meeting. Once your child is enrolled, you may have some questions or concerns about lessons, activities, tuition, vacation credit days, holidays, etc. This would be a great time to request a meeting with either the Director, Teacher or both. Just let us know, and we will be happy to help!

​

• Conferences are also available at any time. Please feel free to call or stop by if you have a quick question or you can also schedule a time at your convenience with your child’s teacher to discuss his/her progress.

​

• When it comes time for your child to transition to a new age group, classroom, a new school or even being home alone, we will do our best to help you and your child make it a smooth and happy transition. We have books, activities and years of experience to help you through.

​

• At the upper level of Keystone Stars, we begin to do bi-weekly observations of the children in our care starting within the first 45 days of their enrollment. We will complete this first observation and then set up to have a conference with you about your child’s development and adjustment to our learning facility. If you are not interested in having a conference at that time we will have a paper where you can decline to have the conference.

​

• If for any reason you need to move your child to another center, we will be happy to send your child’s records with you. This could save a lot of time. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to call!
