Beyond basic learning academy has been my go to everytime my oldest child went there and it was great to the point I have my youngest enrolled and I love it my child is safe happy my child is learning something different everyday could not ask for a better academy...
diane geeDec 20, 2025I have 2 children that go here and they are really great with them. My son is 4 with autism & their staff definitely make sure he is well cared for. Thank you beyond basic learning academy
Cassandra AsperDec 18, 2025We worked with April Powell on a business deal recently and she was professional and on point. Knowing that she is a 4 Star childcare facility is a reflection of how she cares for the most vulnerable of our population. Her business has grown leaps and bounds over the past several years and that’s contributed to a patient and amazing staff, along with a leader who has sacrificed her time, talent and treasure to get the work done. Beyond Basic Learning Academy is more than a good childcare facility, it is a place where our next generation learn how to handle conflict and learn how to impact the community in positive ways.
Entrepreneur WorksJun 7, 2024We couldn’t be happier with Beyond Basic Learning Academies. From day one, the welcoming and professional staff made our child feel right at home. The facility is clean, bright, and filled with engaging activities that keep our little one excited every day. The teachers are exceptional—caring, attentive, and passionate about early childhood education. They provide a safe, nurturing environment where our child has thrived socially and academically. Communication is excellent, with regular updates and photos that keep us informed. We highly recommend Beyond Basic Learning Academies to any parent looking for a top-notch daycare. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a wonderful place for our child!
M RJun 7, 2024My preschooler is currently enrolled at BBLC & I can honestly say that within his 4 months of attending, his learning skills have grown tremendously. He enjoys their indoor STEM & sensory activities. The owner and staff are very supportive, welcoming, and most importantly professional. It is truly an amazing, safe, and fun place for all children, I highly recommend.
Cierra BJun 7, 2024My experience has been great! I have two children that attend, my youngest had a hard start being away from me for the first time, but has been doing wonderful with the help of MsApril and MsApril. I appreciate them dearly. Definitely a must try Center

Questions parents ask about BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY LLC
Is BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY LLC a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY LLC holds Pennsylvania certificate 103810212-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Philadelphia County. The current certificate runs to March 1, 2026. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY LLC's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY LLC STAR 4, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on December 10, 2025. 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 LLC?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY LLC 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 LLC accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY LLC 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 BEYOND BASIC LEARNING ACADEMY LLC?
- 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 LLC's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
