  • Would recommend 100 times to someone!! My daughter cries if she finds out she’s not going to Ellie’s playground. Every morning she asks if she going to Mrs.Natasha’s house.

  • We had an excellent experience with Ellies playground family daycare. They provided care for my infant through the age of one. I unfortunately had to remove him due to transferring from work to a different city otherwise this would have been his long term daycare. Natasha was constantly profesional, caring, and attentive, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment at all times. Their personable approach made communication easy and reassuring. The pricing was fair and reasonable, and the inclusion of meals was greatly appreciated. I was very pleased with the quality of care provided and would highly recommend to any family seeking a reliable and supportive childcare provided.

  • This is a wonderful place. Natasha is such a sweet woman who really cares about my daughter. She works well with my schedule, and helps when things change last minute. She keeps me updated on things with my daughter and sends me photos. It is a wonderful daycare that my daughter is excited to go to everyday.

  • I would give more than 5 stars if I could, I’m a very cautious person when it comes to my son. I didn’t even want to put him in daycare until he could talk in case anything happened. But as a single mom with no help from family, that wasn’t an option. The first daycare I enrolled my son in at 6 months, he went one day and never returned bc he came back with a mark on his leg n a scratch on his arm that lasted hours. When I asked how his day was? They said “he didn’t cry.” Yes, that’s all they said 😒. Then I enrolled him in another daycare that I loved, however I could barely afford it even with title 20. That’s when I found Ellie’s playground. I was reluctant but I gave her a chance and I’m sooo glad I did. Not only does my son (1 1/2y) love going, it’s much more affordable than most daycares in the area. Everytime we get there, he walks right to the door and when he sees her, he always has a big smile on his face. She lets me know anytime he gets hurt and keeps me updated on his day. (Pics I’ve gotten when I was at work 🥺)Hands down, the best daycare I’ve enrolled my son in, for the care she provides, as well as the pricing. She treats my baby as if he were her own and I couldn’t ask for better care from someone!

  • I spent weeks looking for a good daycare for my son and it wasn’t easy so I thank God every day for Ellie’s playground. She’s amazing takes great care of my son and constantly send me pictures and videos and lets me know every day how he’s doing. I’m a working mom and on top of that had school and she was willing to work with my impossible schedule and thanks to her I can say I successfully finished school. I highly recommend Ellie’s playground to any parent looking for a safe, fun and trustworthy daycare for children. You won’t be sorry❤️

Questions parents ask about ELLIES PLAYGROUND LLC

Is ELLIES PLAYGROUND LLC a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?

Yes. ELLIES PLAYGROUND LLC holds Pennsylvania certificate 103826221-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Lehigh County. The current certificate runs to February 10, 2027. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.

What is ELLIES PLAYGROUND LLC's Keystone STARS rating?

Pennsylvania rates ELLIES PLAYGROUND LLC STAR 1, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on February 11, 2021. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against ELLIES PLAYGROUND LLC?

No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against ELLIES PLAYGROUND 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 ELLIES PLAYGROUND LLC accept child care subsidy?

Yes. ELLIES PLAYGROUND 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 14.

Does this page show inspection results for ELLIES PLAYGROUND 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 ELLIES PLAYGROUND LLC's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
