I highly recommend Affectionately Devoted. The facility is very clean and the children are well taken care of. The owner , Ms. Shanyel , has a passion for both people and more specifically children. This reflects in her facilities and through the staff she has.

Khristina WhaleySep 15, 2025I love this school for my son. Great communication, marks off all of my boxes and expectations. My son loves it, he always has a smile on his face, comes home with lots to talk about everyday. I’d highly recommend 100%! Thank you to all the staff for educating and nurturing my son always! You’re very appreciated!
samira oliverOct 23, 2024Although I don’t have any childcare aged children, I do the know the owner/operator personally. I have seen the process of the opening, from start to finish. There was so much care and love put into every aspect of the center. The one thing I know is that she has a heart for children and would never allow one in her care to be hurt or mistreated. I could not think of a better center to send your child for great care! Wishing you and your staff the best!

- Yes. AFFECTIONATELY DEVOTED ACADEMY OF EARLY LEARNING holds a subsidy agreement with the state. The agreement covers these age groups: Infant and toddler, Preschool, School-age.

Does this page show inspection results for AFFECTIONATELY DEVOTED ACADEMY OF EARLY LEARNING?
- No. Pennsylvania completes at least one unannounced inspection a year at every licensed provider, and publishes the results through the provider search at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch.
