The teachers, director and owner are very nice. They were really a big help to my child’s development. They are caring, thoughtful and very approachable.
J OJun 11, 2025My twins have been at Bright Star in the Pre-K program for the past 2 years and my daughter in the daycare program for the past year. We love it there! Communication between staff and parents has improved greatly since we first started. There has been some turnover with staff since we've been there. However, the staff who are there care deeply about all the children. There is a good balance between learning and having fun. I feel confident that Bright Star has thoroughly prepared my twins for Kindergarten in the fall!
Rachel WoolworthMay 10, 2024My son been attending there for a few months now & i won lie putting my kids in day care has always been my biggest fear the thought in my head constantly thinking will my child be okay once i leave will these day cares mistreat my kids when im not around. The moment i visited the school i can tell from the beginning these were good people such positive attitudes & by their interactions with the kids the little time i was able to observe alot . I knew from there i would be able to trust them with my child. My son has learned so much being there I literally have zero complaints! They even helped potty training him which i was struggling with so much. The love he has for his teachers is out of this world he looks forward everyday to go to school! Just wanted to let everyone know this school is one of a kind with such caring workers. Thank yall for being so great seriously!
Gianni CorreaMar 13, 2024I love this daycare! My daughter have been going here for 2 years. When you walk in you instantly notice how super clean it is! It is very colorful and bright. The teachers are so pleasant and caring. If you have any concerns about your child/children they will help you. I feel safe when leaving my daughter in there care. They also provide hot lunch and you can have a birthday party there for your child. Good parent communication. You can tell this daycare is a family. If you’re looking for a safe and fun learning environment then please don’t hesitate to bring your child/children here. It’s a great daycare!
Johnny GuyapersaudFeb 7, 2024My children attended Bright Star for a long time and I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else. The staff is attentive, friendly, caring, and nice. They have a great curriculum. Now little nephew attends and he loves it there.
Nasheen SamuelJan 12, 2024My daughter was enrolled a bright star for about a year. Everything was wonderful in the beginning. Then things took a turn for the worst. They started going through staff like crazy. The owner and director are very hands off. 4 different teachers have left and been replaced in the last couple months. My daughter needs structure and consistency so that was a major red flag for me! When the group supervisor and best preschool teacher left i knew it was time to pull her out! Communication between parents and teachers is definitely not what it should be!

Questions parents ask about BRIGHT STAR LEARNING ACADEMY LLC
Is BRIGHT STAR LEARNING ACADEMY LLC a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. BRIGHT STAR LEARNING ACADEMY LLC holds Pennsylvania certificate 102518425-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Philadelphia County. The current certificate runs to May 2, 2027. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is BRIGHT STAR LEARNING ACADEMY LLC's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates BRIGHT STAR LEARNING ACADEMY LLC STAR 4, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on October 21, 2025. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against BRIGHT STAR LEARNING ACADEMY LLC?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against BRIGHT STAR 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 BRIGHT STAR LEARNING ACADEMY LLC accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. BRIGHT STAR 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 BRIGHT STAR 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 BRIGHT STAR LEARNING ACADEMY LLC's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
