  • My children have been coming here since 2021 and they love it here! The staff and owner are very polite and professional! My kids are always learning new things! I work different days of the week and she is very flexible with my schedule which I greatly appreciate it! Many other daycares won't work with you like that!

  • My daughters are 2 and 5 years old. I took them there for only 4 hours and when I went to pick them up, they did not want to leave. My eldest one wanted to come back the next day! Prior to that, they have never been in any daycare or any school setting. Both of them have been staying home with me since they were born. I just got a job working from home and was very nervous leaving them with anyone else since I have been taking care of them their whole lives. I went in there and felt comfortable, secure, and peace. The staff are wonderful and the owner is a gem. The owner is very flexible and works with you when it comes to payments and your needs. Thank you for taking care of my daughters and giving me a peace of mind that I made the right choice.

  • My 2 year old Niece came to me unexpectedly about 7 months ago. I work a full time job and was unsure of what to do. I had contacted several places but the only place at the time who had space for her was Pen Argyl Early Learning Academy. I am so grateful that she was able to get into this day care. The teachers are so loving! My niece loves attending! She learns so much daily and has such a good relationship with her teachers! Overall I think this place is this best and am so grateful for everything they do!

  • It’s always scary sending your child to a daycare regardless of reviews, especially after having a bad experience at a different daycare, but it’s been a few months now & I have zero complaints. I know my daughter is definitely a handful sometimes & is VERY headstrong & they embrace that here. The staff are always super friendly & accommodating & will actually greet you kindly. Majority of the time my daughter doesn’t want to leave when I come pick her up. I’m super thankful for all that they do here from the extra snacks (since of course toddlers will love something one day & hate it the next) to letting her bring a toy home to bring back the next day so she doesn’t throw a fit on the way out the door. Will always recommend when someone is looking.

  • Ok, so I got a report that my daughter has been absent a few times from Title 20. When my kids attended (older daughter suspended while in school) Kids Campus, I never got any reports on absenses! While my daughter was never really truly absent (only 4 days per week per Title 20), I took comfort knowing that Early Learning Academy does not cheat the government. Kids Campus frauds government funds. (SOME of my review for them is on their site. They claimed my kids present from July through April when my kids were not attending.) As far as my daughter being marked absent for days she isn't supposed to be there, a trivial complaint that can be fixed. So I permitted my sister to pick up my daughter the other day, and they gave her a hard time just because they never met her. I WAS GLAD!!!! Kids campus never ID'ed anyone ever!!!! What if a kidnapper walked in and said, "Yeah, I'm their uncle!" However, Early Learning Academy is VERY STRICT on who they release kids to. I take that as a comfort seeing my daughters have a court order to never see their father! I asked my daughter which daycare she likes better. She picked Pen Argyl Early Learning Academy! She said it's bigger. A note to all Christians, the nursery plays Jesus Loves Me!!! I enjoy hearing it when I pick up my daughter!!! I have given good report and recommendation to other parents because of that. I have only ever seen petty issues that aren't worth complaining about. I thus give a 5 star rating!!! Don't pick Kids Campus, chose this place!!!

Questions parents ask about PEN ARGYL EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY LLC

Is PEN ARGYL EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY LLC a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?

Yes. PEN ARGYL EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY LLC holds Pennsylvania certificate 103903492-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Northampton County. The current certificate runs to December 8, 2026. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.

What is PEN ARGYL EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY LLC's Keystone STARS rating?

Pennsylvania rates PEN ARGYL EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY LLC STAR 1, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on December 17, 2021. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against PEN ARGYL EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY LLC?

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

Yes. PEN ARGYL EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY LLC holds a subsidy agreement with the state. The agreement covers these age groups: 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 PEN ARGYL EARLY 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 PEN ARGYL EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY LLC's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
