my kids & i first time going here & we loveee it! the staff is awesome , i highly recommend bringing ur babies here!
kassy MurphyMay 12, 2026They have been amazing with my son, nephew and niece. Been with them for a few months. Never hear too many bad occurrences with them in the last few years from other parents. Great program. Currently in upgrades and management transition. My kids love it there.
Financing FordMay 3, 2026My God son was there it was getting mistreated by a kid not one time but multiple time and the staff didn't do nothing..so the place not recommended the staff sucks alot of negligence ..don't take your kid there.
Bolondron BoloApr 5, 2026I would not recommend this daycare at all. My friend’s child was injured multiple times by the same child — this happened on 8 different occasion, yes you read that right EIGHT times, lincluding scratches to his face and head. This is not normal behavior and should have been addressed immediately. The biggest issue is that nothing was done to fix it. The staff failed to properly supervise or separate the children, and the situation kept happening over and over again. At some point, this stops being “kids being kids” and becomes a safety issue. No parent should have to worry about their child getting hurt this many times in a place that is supposed to protect them. Please be careful if you are considering bringing your child here.
Chassidy OlivenciaMar 31, 2026All my children go here good school never had a problem my children feel good going and like the school.

Questions parents ask about PHILADELPHIA GARDEN CHILDCARE SERVICES
Is PHILADELPHIA GARDEN CHILDCARE SERVICES a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. PHILADELPHIA GARDEN CHILDCARE SERVICES holds Pennsylvania certificate 103869390-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Philadelphia County. The current certificate runs to September 22, 2026. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is PHILADELPHIA GARDEN CHILDCARE SERVICES's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates PHILADELPHIA GARDEN CHILDCARE SERVICES STAR 2, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on November 27, 2025. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against PHILADELPHIA GARDEN CHILDCARE SERVICES?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against PHILADELPHIA GARDEN CHILDCARE SERVICES 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 PHILADELPHIA GARDEN CHILDCARE SERVICES accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. PHILADELPHIA GARDEN CHILDCARE SERVICES 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 PHILADELPHIA GARDEN CHILDCARE SERVICES?
- 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 PHILADELPHIA GARDEN CHILDCARE SERVICES's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
