History
After over 20 plus years in Social Administration working with government, corporations, institutions of higher learning, the community, and others, Ms. Pennock opened Somerset Academy Early Learning Center with a focus on quality Early Childhood Education through the lens of the family. The program moved into its current location in conjunction with the City of Philadelphia's expansion of PreK slots in 2017.
