  • My daughters love going here! My oldest has ADHD and a few other issues and she is making friends and relationships, learning how to treat others and how to be treated.My youngest is 3 and she was so shy so for her to look forward to going and me leaving means a lot! All night I hear about how they love the teachers and director. It has been 2 of the best years leaving my babies with woman I can trust. Everything is reported and I even receive pictures throughout the day. Due to the directors protocols I know my kids are SAFE the place is always clean! I would and have recommended them

  • My children have been attending this daycare for several years now, and I can confidently say it has been a wonderful experience for our family. My son, now 7, started going when he was just 3 years old, and my daughter has been there since she was only 3 months old—she’s now 2. Over the years, the staff has become like extended family to us. One of the things I appreciate most is their excellent communication. Whether it's a quick update about my child's day or a more specific concern I’ve brought up, they are always attentive and responsive. They truly work with me to support my children’s individual needs, and I’ve always felt heard and respected. They go above and beyond to make sure my kids are comfortable, safe, and engaged. It’s clear they genuinely care for the children in their care, and that peace of mind as a parent is priceless. Another huge plus is their van service, which has been extremely convenient for my busy schedule. The driver is always on time and shows so much compassion toward the children—my kids are always happy to see him. I’m so thankful to have found a daycare that is not only dependable and professional but also truly nurturing. I would highly recommend them to any parent looking for a supportive, caring, and well-organized childcare provider.

  • If your child is autistic I do not recommend this daycare . Due to work I found it easier for my children to go here however they’re not easy to work with . The van driver and one of the teachers I speak with understand and would always look out or help regardless of the director orders . The director made it so hard to maneuver services for my child even after her diagnoses . My child would come home and report of being hit or yelled at but the director would deny claims . My youngest child use to stay coming home with injuries or being sick and she would send him home . Needless to say my daughter was kicked out for reacting to what she said someone hit her which triggered her to act out . Instead of trying to give grace she kicked my autistic child out , a hr after I brought up the fact a child pulled off my daughter ponytail which she also tried to claim as false . There’s no structure , nor routine in any of the classes for the children . But let u be late or owe the director they will be on your behind about it . Majority of the day consist of coloring for the children and playing with toys or watch movies . Which I believe isn’t helping a child mind stimulate . And please don’t tell me my actual 2 year experience is false thank you .

  • This is a great school and has beautiful classrooms. Both of my twins love going each day which makes me feel comfortable while working for the past year. I’m happy we found this center.

  • My children have attended this center since last Summer. It was their first experience being in a summer camp. They absolutely loved it!! Being a parent that has to work and leave your children, the last thing you want to do is worry. With this center, I don't have to worry. The staff love the children as if they were their own. I would highly recommend this center.

Yes. SCRIBBLE SCRABBLE KIDS holds Pennsylvania certificate 102243163-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Philadelphia County. The current certificate runs to January 16, 2027. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.

What is SCRIBBLE SCRABBLE KIDS's Keystone STARS rating?

Pennsylvania rates SCRIBBLE SCRABBLE KIDS STAR 3, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on May 16, 2026. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against SCRIBBLE SCRABBLE KIDS?

No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against SCRIBBLE SCRABBLE KIDS 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 SCRIBBLE SCRABBLE KIDS accept child care subsidy?

Yes. SCRIBBLE SCRABBLE KIDS 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 SCRIBBLE SCRABBLE KIDS?

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 SCRIBBLE SCRABBLE KIDS's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
