My little one absolutely loves this daycare. She's learning how to trace letters and write her name. She's learning about colors and sings the ABC's clearer every day. I love the organization and cleanliness of the facility. They take the kids out with there waters and everything. And the staff is kind, respectful and give me details on my daughters behavior and day daily. You guys are awesome. And I'd recommend this daycare to anyone. 👌👌👌💪
onairys medinaAug 28, 2019My boys love principals prep. I was one of the day one parents from when they 1st opened. My oldest who is now 9, had a great experience his then teacher was Ms. LVonne . It was actual structure there. My youngest who's been there since an infant, is now 3 and does well he's learning a ton. Ms. Gonzalez, Ms. Mae, Ms. T, & Macy are great.They love the children and love what they do. Ms. Marla the owner, is very reasonable and easy to talk to if your in a tough situation, she'll work with you.
Adrea ReneeJun 21, 2019As a first time mom who stayed at home with my son for a year and a half, I was very nervous about putting my son in daycare. When I met with the owner, she was very kind and understanding. The daycare itself is clean and a stimulating environment for all ages. My son loves the workers there and you can tell that they love what they do. The owner is also very reasonable for families who have to self-pay. I would recommend this daycare to any family with young children.
Tia BrownApr 30, 2019This is one of the most wonderful daycares i have experienced myself. My 2 year old attends this daycare and i love the staff very welcoming and give me an everyday detail about how he was today and what activitys he does. I love that they try their best to show them. I feel safe to have my son is attending this daycare. it is one of many safe places. My son has been here for 6 months now and i wont change it for anything or anywere else.

Turquoise MitchellMar 9, 2018Please do not send your kids here! The staff is unorganized they don't teach the kids they take naps all day and there always a new teacher there in the afternoon when I pick up my child Also let discuss how a little boy Wonder home alone from this daycare! How? Staff don't not pay attention to your kids, my son wound have his second change of clothes on everyday I would pick him up, they take naps most of the day. And the owner Shanti will single your child out if he or she have delay. Please don't send your kids to this daycare it's the WORST IN SOUTH PHILLY!😗😗

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against PRINCIPALS DEMONSTRATION AND PREPARATORY ACADEMY?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against PRINCIPALS DEMONSTRATION AND PREPARATORY ACADEMY at the time the record was published.

Does PRINCIPALS DEMONSTRATION AND PREPARATORY ACADEMY accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. PRINCIPALS DEMONSTRATION AND PREPARATORY 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 PRINCIPALS DEMONSTRATION AND PREPARATORY 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 PRINCIPALS DEMONSTRATION AND PREPARATORY ACADEMY's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
