We’ve had our daughters here since day one, and it’s been a great experience. The staff and leadership are familiar, consistent, and truly care about the kids. It gives us peace of mind knowing they’re in a safe and supportive environment. I’m really glad we chose this center for our family.
Denzel MurdaughMay 18, 2026I can’t say enough good things about Choices! My kids have been attending for about 4 years, and it has been an amazing experience for our family. My daughter started when she was just over 2 years old and was very shy, especially being away from me for the first time. The teachers were incredibly patient and caring, and they truly helped her come out of her shell. Now she’s confident, happy, and loves going every day. My 10-year-old autistic son attends their before/after school program and summer camp, and they consistently go above and beyond to support his needs and make him feel comfortable. The staff is understanding, attentive, and always keeps me informed. He actually prefers their summer camp over anything else, which says a lot. I’ve also been really impressed with how much the kids learn, especially in Pre-K, and all the fun activities they plan like parties and spirit weeks. We’re so grateful for the care and dedication from the staff and highly recommend Choices to any family!
Alexis VarelaApr 30, 2026My nieces have been attending here since they were born. The staff is amazing & so caring. I’d recommend them to anyone.
Jillian WestonApr 8, 2025This is the worst daycare ever. My daughter attended this day care in 2022 when she was 5 , and on three different occasions, they have forgotten my daughter. Rather, it was forgetting to pick her up after school or taking her to school in the morning. I don't recommend this place to anyone. Your child is not safe here. Their job was to only pick up and drop my daughter off to school, and they failed her 3 times. The staff acted like they did nothing wrong. Summer camp also sucks they don't do crap with these kids my daughter hated it there.
marisela riveraJul 7, 2024My son has been attending this center for about 5-6 months and I have already seen such a big improvement. He is speech delayed and always comes home trying to say new words. Washing his hands putting his toys and books away. His last center didn’t have a curriculum and let him run wild. This was the best choice I could have made for him the director Nicole really cares about all the kids and takes the time to know them on a personal level. The staff is amazing I can’t say enough good things about this place!
Leilany LopezNov 28, 2023This childcare facility is clean and professional. You can tell the teachers really care about their craft. My son is there part time and he loves being there. For all the new mamas looking for a safe and reliable center look no further. Peace of mind

Questions parents ask about CHOICES ACADEMY & LEARNING CENTER
Is CHOICES ACADEMY & LEARNING CENTER a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. CHOICES ACADEMY & LEARNING CENTER holds Pennsylvania certificate 103691309-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Philadelphia County. The current certificate runs to April 28, 2027. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is CHOICES ACADEMY & LEARNING CENTER's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates CHOICES ACADEMY & LEARNING CENTER STAR 3, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on November 27, 2025. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against CHOICES ACADEMY & LEARNING CENTER?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against CHOICES ACADEMY & LEARNING CENTER 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 CHOICES ACADEMY & LEARNING CENTER accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. CHOICES ACADEMY & LEARNING CENTER 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 CHOICES ACADEMY & LEARNING CENTER?
- 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 CHOICES ACADEMY & LEARNING CENTER's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
