Myla BaxleyJul 14, 2025I love this daycare they take very good care of my children and make sure that their needs are met. You can tell she takes really great care of their educational needs
Domonique PayneSep 30, 2023As a mother of two as well as a Behavioral Therapist there is a level of professionalism that I look for in a child care facility. Beyond Basics exceeded my expectations. Their clean and welcoming facilities coupled with their friendly staff and age appropriate curriculum was a great match.
Joycelyn WayJul 16, 2020Since day one you guys have been beyond AMAZING.!! For me just like I’m sure for any parent it’s hard to find someone to trust your child with to love them whole hearted and genuinely care about their development, health, just all around growth...Ive seen so many positive changes in my Son in such a short time frame...The entire staff is awesome.!! I plan for my Son to attend for years to come... Thank you for giving me a sense of peace...
Sharnae MintzeMar 16, 2020I have a hard time with letting my children go to daycare. You aren’t just a daycare you gave me the family feeling. You made me feel comfortable like I can have my kids around you. If it’s not gonna be you I'm just not letting them go anywhere. Some people aren't like that. I haven't got that feeling from anybody else. Im not comfortable with them go anywhere Else. We will see you very soon at the new locations! Mrs.johnson

Questions parents ask about BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY
Is BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY holds Pennsylvania certificate 103103588-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Philadelphia County. The current certificate runs to September 3, 2026. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY STAR 4, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on January 21, 2026. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against BEYOND BASIC LEARNING 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 BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY holds a subsidy agreement with the state. 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 BEYOND BASIC LEARNING 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 BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
