  • Tyeshia at Karltons Kids Academy has truly been such a blessing for my nephew and for our family. From the very first day we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares for the children she works with. She goes above and beyond to make sure every child feels safe, loved, and encouraged to learn and grow. You can see the joy in the kids’ faces when she is around and it is obvious they feel comfortable and happy in her care. My nephew absolutely adores her and talks about her with excitement every day. Her patience, kindness, and positive energy make a huge difference in his life and in the lives of all the children at the academy. It is rare to find someone who has such a natural gift for connecting with kids while also providing structure and guidance. We are so thankful for everything she does and I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone who will treat their child like family.

  • I love this daycare, very good staff, Tyshia is an excellent teacher and treats children very well, my children love her. They do many activities and the children learn a lot. My daughter already knows how to write her name, count numbers, tell me the colors, vowels, etc. I am delighted with they work.✨♥️

  • Unreliable for weekend care falsely advertises 24 hour care. Very poor communication skills and I was blocked from Facebook when I asked her to remove my son’s pictures off of Facebook. I wouldn’t recommend, Tyeisha has poor communication skills and lack of accountability!! Very bad liar

Questions parents ask about KARLTONS KIDS ACADEMY

Is KARLTONS KIDS ACADEMY a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?

Yes. KARLTONS KIDS ACADEMY holds Pennsylvania certificate 104280068-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Philadelphia County. The current certificate runs to May 22, 2027. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.

What is KARLTONS KIDS ACADEMY's Keystone STARS rating?

Pennsylvania rates KARLTONS KIDS ACADEMY STAR 1, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on July 30, 2024. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against KARLTONS KIDS ACADEMY?

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

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