Questions parents ask about THE ESSENCE OF CHILDCARE
Is THE ESSENCE OF CHILDCARE a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. THE ESSENCE OF CHILDCARE holds Pennsylvania certificate 102540990-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Philadelphia County. The current certificate runs to January 10, 2027. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is THE ESSENCE OF CHILDCARE's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates THE ESSENCE OF CHILDCARE STAR 1, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on February 27, 2020. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against THE ESSENCE OF CHILDCARE?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against THE ESSENCE OF CHILDCARE 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 THE ESSENCE OF CHILDCARE accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. THE ESSENCE OF CHILDCARE 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 THE ESSENCE OF CHILDCARE?
- 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 THE ESSENCE OF CHILDCARE's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
