I love Beginning Foundation Academy! My daughter goes here and when I drop her off, I have no worries. I know she is cared for by the best and she is with her FAMILY. Beginning Foundation is not just a school, you truly become a member of the family and they treat you as such. They give my daughter the care she needs and more❤️ I never want her to go anywhere else.

Questions parents ask about BEGINNING FOUNDATION ACADEMY
Is BEGINNING FOUNDATION ACADEMY a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. BEGINNING FOUNDATION ACADEMY holds Pennsylvania certificate 103375837-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Philadelphia County. The current certificate runs to April 30, 2027. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is BEGINNING FOUNDATION ACADEMY's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates BEGINNING FOUNDATION ACADEMY STAR 4, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on November 21, 2025. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against BEGINNING FOUNDATION ACADEMY?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against BEGINNING FOUNDATION ACADEMY at the time the record was published. That is a single field in a snapshot, not a full compliance history, and it is not the same as a clean inspection record. The licensing inspection detail is at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch.
Does BEGINNING FOUNDATION ACADEMY accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. BEGINNING FOUNDATION ACADEMY holds a subsidy agreement with the state. The agreement covers these age groups: Infant and toddler, Preschool, School-age. An agreement means the provider can bill the subsidy programme, not that a funded place is free today. Eligibility is decided by your Early Learning Resource Center, Early Learning Resource Center for Region 18.
Does this page show inspection results for BEGINNING FOUNDATION ACADEMY?
- 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. Those results are not included here, and there is no open dataset of them, so nothing on this page reflects BEGINNING FOUNDATION ACADEMY's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
