  • Very happy I’ve enrolled my daughter here, The staff is incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. When my daughter started (2), she wasn’t reacting much to other kids yet, had difficulty following routines, and wasn’t used to group settings at all. The staff showed her a lot of understanding and support. They coordinate and communicate with my daughter’s three therapists very well. Everyone works together as a team with her best interests at heart, and it shows in her progress. I feel ease knowing my child is in an environment where she is safe, supported, and encouraged every day. I’m extremely grateful for this daycare and highly recommend it to any parents.

What stood out most was their hands-on, play-based curriculum that truly keeps the children engaged, excited, and learning naturally—without ever feeling forced. The staff are incredibly attentive and clearly passionate about what they do.

The staff is incredibly nurturing, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They treat my child like family and make sure she feels safe, loved, and supported every single day. What truly sets this school apart is their commitment to high-quality care and individualized attention. They take the time to understand each child’s unique needs and learning style, which has made such a difference in my daughter’s development. She’s thriving academically, socially, and emotionally—and she absolutely loves going to school! Their focus on education, safety, and personal growth is unmatched. The curriculum is thoughtful, engaging, and fun—geared toward building strong early learning foundations while also encouraging creativity and confidence. And as a parent, I have total peace of mind knowing my child is in a clean, secure environment with teachers who truly care.

They go above and beyond in every way, and I’m so grateful to have found them!

  • I love the staff, they are amazing and take really good care of my babygirl. I put her in when she was about 4 months old and as a first time mom I was extremely nervous and didn’t know what to expect but they have done an amazing job and my baby enjoys it here.

Questions parents ask about FOUNDATIONS LEARNING ACADEMY LLC

Is FOUNDATIONS LEARNING ACADEMY LLC a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?

Yes. FOUNDATIONS LEARNING ACADEMY LLC holds Pennsylvania certificate 104389327-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Philadelphia County. The current certificate runs to March 9, 2027. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.

What is FOUNDATIONS LEARNING ACADEMY LLC's Keystone STARS rating?

Pennsylvania rates FOUNDATIONS LEARNING ACADEMY LLC STAR 2, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on July 15, 2026. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against FOUNDATIONS LEARNING ACADEMY LLC?

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

Yes. FOUNDATIONS 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 FOUNDATIONS 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 FOUNDATIONS LEARNING ACADEMY LLC's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
