  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely love this daycare! From day one, the staff has been welcoming, patient, and genuinely caring. They create a safe, clean, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable. Communication is always clear, and I truly appreciate how attentive they are to each child’s individual needs. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my child is happy, well cared for, and excited to be here every day. I’m so grateful for everything they do and highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a supportive and loving place for their child.

  • This is the best daycare ever, i have kids that go here and i can say i can drop my kids off and go to work without feeling uncomfortable to leave them in the care of others. My kids tell me how happy they are being there, and playing with the other kids. The staff is amazing, they keep me updated through out the day on things they do and activities they are in. I truly have no complaints 5⭐️.

  • Rock Foundation Early Learning Academy is one of the better child care services in the city. My kids have been going here for over 5 years now and they go over and beyond to ensure children’s safety in all aspects. All of the staff and teachers are professional and always maintain a caring mindset. The classrooms are clean, vibrant, bright and spacious. I noticed the children are always engaged and happy when learning and are responsive and comfortable. My experiences at Rock Foundation have been nothing but positive and I highly recommend.

  • My children and I love Rock Foundation. They have been going to the before and aftercare for years. Also attended the summer camp. The staff are amazing and caring, it’s clean and friendly, have good communication, are always willing to work with the parent and do anything they could to help out. They have an excellent program. They make sure to always keep parents updated on Procare, when you sign your children in and out they alert you on the message center and paper form. I highly recommend Rock Foundation to anyone.

Questions parents ask about ROCK FOUNDATION EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY

Is ROCK FOUNDATION EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?

Yes. ROCK FOUNDATION EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY holds Pennsylvania certificate 103354194-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Philadelphia County. The current certificate runs to August 6, 2026. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.

What is ROCK FOUNDATION EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY's Keystone STARS rating?

Pennsylvania rates ROCK FOUNDATION EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY STAR 4, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on March 3, 2026. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against ROCK FOUNDATION EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY?

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

Yes. ROCK FOUNDATION EARLY LEARNING 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 ROCK FOUNDATION EARLY LEARNING 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 ROCK FOUNDATION EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
