What People Are Saying About PCC Academy
-Courtney D.
"This is the best child care center in Bensalem. The staff is wonderful and so caring. Everyone is always smiling including my baby. It’s a very clean and safe environment for children. I highly recommend it!"
"My kids have been attending PCC summer camp for 5 years. They really love it, and look forward to going back every year. The staff is amazing, they keep the kids entertained, and always have fun activities planned. I really appreciate that I have a place I can send my kids where I know they are taken care of."
-Marisa M.
"I was very nervous about starting my 3 month old at daycare, but my nerves were quickly eased. After touring many daycare centers, PCC felt the most loving. It wasn’t long before I felt like the staff knew my daughter as well as I do. That level of peace of mind is priceless. The teachers do a wonderful job to keep the curriculum rich. The level of dedication and passion PCC teachers have for encouraging their kids to thrive is clear. I would highly recommend PCC to any of my friends and family.

Memo to PCC Academy Families
From: Lynn Tarnowski, Director
Dear PCC Academy Parents and Families:
Yesterday, I was informed that one of our employees was arrested by Middletown Township
Police for an incident that happened at Smoothie King with an adult female. This incident did
not happen on the daycare and school grounds. Once this incident was reported to me, this
employee was terminated immediately.
Please understand that we are shocked at this turn of events. I assure you that we are always
concerned about the welfare of your child first and we will never tolerate anything
improper that could potentially hurt your children. I have personally done interviews with all
workers and teachers, and no one has ever witnessed any such improper action from this worker,
nor have we received a complaint about this worker or experienced anything inappropriate
during his employment here.
I would like to also reassure you that PCC Academy complies with all necessary hiring and
administrative processes including: regular federal and state background checks as well as
mandated child abuse clearance on all employees. We are also compliant with Pennsylvania
yearly inspections and audits.
We are understanding of potential questions you may have. Please know we will continue to do
our very best to ensure the safety and wellbeing of your children and maintain prompt
communication with parents and families.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 215-639-7000 x 407
or Lynn@pccmail.org.
