  • This is an outstanding daycare. The owner Dom and her staff are very attentive and caring of my daughter. The center is always clean. My daughter come home often speaking in excitement about her day. Their education curriculum is also great. I recommend this daycare to all my friends and family

  • My daughter has been attending Elite Scholars for three months now, and it has been an amazing experience. Ms. Dom is wonderful, and all of the teachers are very caring and attentive. They communicate consistently and share any concerns that may need attention, which I truly appreciate. Each morning, my daughter is welcomed with such positive and warm energy, which makes me feel very secure when dropping her off. Prior to starting at Elite Scholars, she was home with my mother and had only attended one other daycare part-time. In just three months, I have seen so much growth. She is now saying her ABCs, counting to 10, and even singing nursery rhymes. She will be turning two in April, and I am truly amazed at the progress she has made. I highly recommend Elite Scholars to everyone. It is more than just a daycare. They truly focus on each child’s development and learning.

  • My 2-year-old son has been attending Elite Scholars Preparatory Academy, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care and attention he receives. Since starting, I’ve seen major improvements in his communication — he’s now able to identify his colors and express himself more clearly. The staff does an excellent job keeping me updated on his progress and daily activities. Their communication is consistent and reassuring, which gives me peace of mind while I’m away. You can really tell they care about each child’s development and well-being. I highly recommend Elite Scholars to any parent looking for a nurturing, responsive, and educational environment for their little one.

  • I enrolled my daughter with Elite scholars when she was about a week a way from turning one, a very close friend of mines recommended the Elite scholars because she used them and thought there were alot of things I would appreciate and help make the transition easier. She was right, they communicate frequently and for all things pertaining to my daughter which I truly appreciate. My daughter looks forward to going to school daily and loves the staff. The themed weeks, the trips, the food engagement, learning and activities are all wonderful for the children and they always look like they are having a wonderful time.

  • I couldn’t be happier with my son’s experience at Elite Scholars Prep! The staff are warm, attentive, and truly care about each child. My son has grown so much—academically, socially, and emotionally since starting here. The curriculum is engaging and age-appropriate, and the teachers do a wonderful job balancing learning with fun. I’ve noticed a big boost in my son’s confidence and communication skills. Elite Scholars Prep has created a safe, nurturing space where my son loves to learn and grow. Highly recommend!

  • My oldest daughter has been going to ESPA since October 2023 and she loves it there so much. The owner/director Ms. Dom cares about the children’s well-being and is very understanding when it comes to working with parents in regards to schedules, payments etc. When my oldest started attending ESPA her vocabulary increased greatly and her fine motor skills have strengthened. Because of this, I enrolled my two youngest daughters and trust that the same progress will be made with them as they grow!

Questions parents ask about ELITE SCHOLARS PREPARATORY ACADEMY LLC

Is ELITE SCHOLARS PREPARATORY ACADEMY LLC a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?

Yes. ELITE SCHOLARS PREPARATORY ACADEMY LLC holds Pennsylvania certificate 103682050-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Philadelphia County. The current certificate runs to May 26, 2027. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.

What is ELITE SCHOLARS PREPARATORY ACADEMY LLC's Keystone STARS rating?

Pennsylvania rates ELITE SCHOLARS PREPARATORY ACADEMY LLC STAR 1, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on June 3, 2021. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against ELITE SCHOLARS PREPARATORY ACADEMY LLC?

No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against ELITE SCHOLARS PREPARATORY 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 ELITE SCHOLARS PREPARATORY ACADEMY LLC accept child care subsidy?

Yes. ELITE SCHOLARS PREPARATORY 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 ELITE SCHOLARS PREPARATORY 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 ELITE SCHOLARS PREPARATORY ACADEMY LLC's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
