The owner's of this establishment are some of the kindest people I have ever encountered or heard of. While many daycares give the feeling that a special need's autistic child is unwanted or disliked Marshall and Friend's is ahead of the curve with better adult to child ratio's and even understanding of children not being potty trained due to the challenges of autism. In a world where the rate of autism is exploding other daycares are going to end up being bankrupted if they can't figure out how to manage these kind's of setbacks in special need's children. My nephew has never napped since he was a year old until he came here. All of the employees were kind and sweet to my nephew. My sister in law was treated with absolute kindness and respect. The owner's have a heart of gold. As a marriage and family therapist I've always been worried about daycares due to hearing horror stories from client's and my knowledge about how attachment with a mother can be disrupted. Even considering my bias against daycares if I needed to use a daycare I would go out of my way to come to Marshall and Friend's. Integrity matter's when working with children.
Krystal YostJun 8, 2025Marshall and Friends Child Care Centre is one of the best child care centers in Allentown PA. The owner is kind and welcoming. They also have amazing teachers/staff who are very hardworking, They do there best to help the kids Learn and grow. My son has been at that daycare for 3 yrs and he likes it. We have never had any issues or complaints.
Isata Zainab ThorlieApr 10, 2023Great school age program! A lot of good activities.
Johnean WheatleyMar 7, 2023Sadly this daycare is HIGHLY unprofessional and incompetent when it comes to child care and adult communication. The owner is a racist and is super disrespectful. I recommend no one ever leave their child in this establishment. You will be very disappointed and dissatisfied! Fabian your a poor excuse of a business owner, you need a class in professionalism ! I hope this business never receives any family’s hard earned money
Jay CeeSep 13, 2022First and foremost I would like to say that people will make things up because they are upset at there situations. Now children get bumps and get hurt sometimes while playing this is at all centers nothing serve very minor is what I’m talking about. There has been great communication and students have excelled upon graduation learning sight words numbers colors letters and shapes. Also addition. Students have graduated being able to read. Now if your child has a behavior and you are in denial a child care professional can not do anything further for you. This center has had so very good times. I would recommend this center they believe in teamwork with parents and trying there best.
Preschool ClassOct 13, 2021Positives: The infant and toddler teachers are nice and loving. The Director Ms. Brenda is sweet. Now for the bad: -There is no curriculum here. The kids don’t go outside or anything -No communication. No camera ls to check on your child, no apps, nothing. -My son is always sick and always has some kind of infection from here THE FINAL Straw was: The Male owner Mr. Fabian is very unprofessionally which has ultimately caused me to remove my children and place them in a 4 star learning center!!. I was harassed like a bill collector for a billing error on HIS end, over-talked and spoken to rudely and aggressive. He does not take accountability, does not apologize for mistakes and does not understand how to run a business or customer service. I am a woman but you got the wrong one to talk to that way. I was raised by my Dad and 5 brothers-dont play with me.

What is MARSHALL AND FRIENDS CHILD CARE CENTER LLC's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates MARSHALL AND FRIENDS CHILD CARE CENTER LLC STAR 1, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on June 27, 2025. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against MARSHALL AND FRIENDS CHILD CARE CENTER LLC?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against MARSHALL AND FRIENDS CHILD CARE CENTER 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 MARSHALL AND FRIENDS CHILD CARE CENTER LLC accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. MARSHALL AND FRIENDS CHILD CARE CENTER 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 MARSHALL AND FRIENDS CHILD CARE CENTER 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 MARSHALL AND FRIENDS CHILD CARE CENTER LLC's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
