Young Environment Learning Center has over twenty years of experience teaching and caring for young children. Our strengths include:
 
Low teacher turnover. 75% of YELC teachers have worked at YELC for 15 years or more.

​Small class sizes. We keep our enrollment lower so every teacher knows the children and families. 

STAR 4 ranking. We have been a STAR 4 center for 16 years. This is the Pennsylvania's highest rank for child care centers. STAR 4 means we meet the PA's highest standards for curriculum, family involvement, teacher training and financial stability. To learn more about STARS visit https://www.pakeys.org/keystone-stars/

Free lunches and snacks. We participate in the federal food program, CACFP. We provide breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack that meet federal nutritional guidelines. 

A secure facility. Our doors remained locked. Families use a key card to enter. Without the keycard the doors remained locked. No one enters unless teachers know them. 

Trained teachers. All staff are trained in infant/child First Aid and CPR and fire safety. We practice fire drills each month.
