  • I am very happy with this daycare. The teachers are kind, patient, and caring. They always make my daughter feel safe, loved, and welcome. I have seen a lot of positive changes in her since she started attending. She is learning new things every day, becoming more social, and enjoys going to daycare. The staff communicates well with parents and keeps me updated about her day. I truly appreciate everything they do and would highly recommend this daycare to other families.

  • Putting my son in this daycare was the best decision i’ve made. I can speak for myself and my son and say that this daycare is the most loving, caring, and fun place to be. They spoil my baby so much and I love it.

  • I honestly couldn’t be happier with this daycare. From day one, they’ve made me feel comfortable leaving my children in their care. Everyone on the staff is so kind, patient, caring, and attentive, and you can tell they truly love what they do. I really appreciate the daily updates and pictures on Brightwheel. They communicate so well throughout the day, so I always know how my kids are doing, which gives me so much peace of mind. The owner is amazing! She’s friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and someone I completely trust with my children. She’s always willing to answer questions and genuinely cares about every child and family. I’ve seen so much growth in both of my children since they’ve been here. They’re learning so much every day with activities focused on reading, math, science, and other important skills. My youngest has made great progress with her motor skills, and it’s been so rewarding to watch her learn and grow. I’m so thankful we found this daycare. It’s such a loving, safe, and positive environment, and I truly recommend it to any parent looking for quality care for their children. ❤️

Questions parents ask about EARLY FOCUS ACADEMY

Is EARLY FOCUS ACADEMY a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?

Yes. EARLY FOCUS ACADEMY holds Pennsylvania certificate 104491812-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Philadelphia County. The current certificate runs to December 9, 2026. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.

What is EARLY FOCUS ACADEMY's Keystone STARS rating?

Pennsylvania rates EARLY FOCUS ACADEMY STAR 1, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on December 12, 2025. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against EARLY FOCUS ACADEMY?

No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against EARLY FOCUS 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 EARLY FOCUS ACADEMY accept child care subsidy?

Yes. EARLY FOCUS 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 EARLY FOCUS 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 EARLY FOCUS ACADEMY's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
