Whiz Kidz has a very welcoming environment that I think is great for my little one who’s 2 and had a bit of separation anxiety at the beginning. I would pick her up and staff would tell me she did just fine after I left and she was always returned smiling and happy. By the second week when I would ask her if she ready for school she was already sayin yeah time for school.
Lamech AllainFeb 21, 2024I love this daycare center for my granddaughter. I see how much she has learned & how excited she is to go to school. She even comes home and acts like she is my teacher lol. I highly recommend this center for your children!!!
Shawanda HassanFeb 21, 2024Whiz Kidz has been the best choice for me & my family. All my other children went to the daycare I work at but once I left the education field and enter the medical field my old job was to far. My son is 2 years I have tried 4 different schools and because I know the field I knew what I was looking for. Whiz Kidz has been the best to that match loving, caring and a convenience to my work schedule. I love how my son loves school and baby this toddler is special but all the staff have the love and patience that my son needs and this make my heart smile when dropping off and picking up my baby. I would recommend this program over and over again. GREAT JOB LADIES!!!!
Ikia HillFeb 21, 2024I absolutely love this place, the staff and just everything about it. When my daughter first started she wasn’t walking, talking or interacting. Now she does all that and more. She can count, knows her colors and some shapes. I’m grateful for the place and wouldn’t want to send her no where else.
Chanel ElliottFeb 21, 2024I believe the daycare needs to come with a disclaimer. Parents should be told in advance of how many aggressive children are in the center. Overall it was not terrible, but this last incident for me as a parent of a 2 year old was traumatizing. To observe my baby being shoved after being bit, intentionally scratched, had a busted lip and smacked with a wooden toy I feel like it was a lot. This was all within a month’s span. There were times that I felt misunderstood when I expressed myself as a concerned parent to the owner. My child was never the aggressor. But very innocent within a program that is not adequately equipped to manage the behaviors of these children.
Christina EdwardsMay 8, 2023I would never be able to say all of the great things that I could say about Whizkids in a comment! My daughter has been at this center for roughly 2 years the care the love the compassion is above and beyond given by the team of staff here, this is a place that allows my heart and mind ease when my little girl is not in my sight, my toddler is always happy and clean when I pick her up! The center is well cared for and clean and the lines of communication is always open and working! I highly recommend this center!

The current certificate runs to August 17, 2026. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is WHIZ KIDZ DEVELOPMENTAL AND EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates WHIZ KIDZ DEVELOPMENTAL AND EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY STAR 4, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on August 8, 2025. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against WHIZ KIDZ DEVELOPMENTAL AND EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against WHIZ KIDZ DEVELOPMENTAL AND 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 WHIZ KIDZ DEVELOPMENTAL AND EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. WHIZ KIDZ DEVELOPMENTAL AND 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 WHIZ KIDZ DEVELOPMENTAL AND 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 WHIZ KIDZ DEVELOPMENTAL AND EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
