  • This daycare/preschool facility is a family oriented with a wonderful staff my children love going here

    Josie Nieves BeyJun 12, 2026
  • Vakia and all of the staff have always gone above and beyond for my daughter who has been attending for almost 4 years. They definitely feel more like family. She has thrived and excelled in Kindergarten due to the efforts of all the staff during her time at New Beginnings for preschool and daycare. Trust, love and care are priorities here and it eases my mind knowing my daughter is in good hands while we are at work. I highly reccomend this daycare and preschool!

  • Words can not express my gratitude towards Miss Vakia and her child care site. This daycare stands out for the fact that Vakia deeply cares about the children there in so many ways. She has gone out of her way and made accommodations for my children but especially for my son with disabilities. My son has both autism and adhd. Many people, including ones in school and child care roles just judge or look at any child who isnt "normal" as too much to bother with. Or not want to put any effort into helping a child with disabilities. At this point, I expect parents or adults that have no proper knowledge to label special needs children or talk badly. But this should never happen with a child care or school system. Sadly, that's how it is. Miss Vakia did the opposite. She has gone above and beyond in every way to ensure a child with special needs is taken care of properly and has what is needed. Im a single mother of children with disabilities and I have felt so alone in this town trying to get the help and support my children need. She made adjustments and accommodations to ensure my son had the support he needs. She doesn't label children or judge. She will be real with you which I admire. I prefer honesty and real support, help, education and guidance for my children and I. It's a breath of fresh air after what I've faced in this town. My children are so excited and eager to go to daycare! I have seen tremendous improvements with all of them. Excitement, eager to learn, New activities, making meals!, even down to behavior at home. I wouldn't just call this a daycare. Their devotion, care, love, and work goes way beyond a typical child care site. Miss Vakia has gone above and beyond especially for my child with disabilities. For once, I finally feel like my child has real support. A person that truly cares about their well being in every way. I tell everyone Vakia has been a god send to my family and that is no exaggeration. I can not thank or express my gratitude towards her and her staff. I can go to work with peace and know my children are in the best care. This is a site where staff deeply care for the children and their futures. To say thank you for the dedication and support for children of all types is a huge understatement 🤎

  • I love this daycare, New Beginnings is a place where I know all children are loved and taken care of. The staff is knowledge and very caring. The owner is one of the most caring and loving women of God. She give so much to each child and she operates with excellence.Mrs. Vakia treats each one of her children and their families like her own. I would definitely recommend you to enroll your child there.

  • This daycare was such a blessing for my granddaughter Lala this summer! She absolutely loved the field trips, and the pool days were her favorite. The staff kept her engaged, active, and always smiling. Her lunches were well-balanced and appropriate, which we really appreciated. Every day she came home happy and full of stories. I would definitely recommend this daycare to any family looking for a safe and fun environment.

  • This daycare isn’t just a childcare center — it’s a foundation for life. The kids who once filled these classrooms are now grown adults, and that says everything about the lasting impact this program has had. The values, structure, and love poured into these children clearly stayed with them. It’s rare to find a place that doesn’t just “watch” children, but truly helps shape who they become. A program with that kind of legacy is something special.

What is NEW BEGINNINGS DAYCARE AND PRESCHOOL LLC's Keystone STARS rating?

Pennsylvania rates NEW BEGINNINGS DAYCARE AND PRESCHOOL LLC STAR 1, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on July 12, 2025. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against NEW BEGINNINGS DAYCARE AND PRESCHOOL LLC?

No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against NEW BEGINNINGS DAYCARE AND PRESCHOOL 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 NEW BEGINNINGS DAYCARE AND PRESCHOOL LLC accept child care subsidy?

Yes. NEW BEGINNINGS DAYCARE AND PRESCHOOL 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 3.

Does this page show inspection results for NEW BEGINNINGS DAYCARE AND PRESCHOOL 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 NEW BEGINNINGS DAYCARE AND PRESCHOOL LLC's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
