“We have had a great experience at Kid-Doodles over the past 5 years. We love their Reggio-Emilia approach. My children always came home happy! The teachers showed genuine care and interest in their well-being and offered them individualized solutions when needed!! The incorporation of learning, nature, and play is exceptional and my children were still well-prepared for Kindergarten!”

“My child loves going to KinderCare! She has learned so many skills in her 4 year old classroom built some very special relationships with her peers. The staff is caring, friendly and patient. Their communication skills are outstanding.”

“My son has grown to like going to school at Lightbridge. The staff is so welcoming and warm making it easier for him to settle in when we drop him off in the morning. Communication is great and they use reliable technology to keep parents connected throughout the day. The classroom my son is in is big, bright and cheery which is one of the reasons we chose Lightbridge. The environment is great as are the teachers and staff. Very happy with our decision.”

“Our girls LOVE Celebree. We were welcomed like family when we arrived in late 2022 and that feeling of inclusiveness has continued. Our daughters have grown and thrived in this family-like environment. Most importantly, the teachers care ❤

“I would like to start off by saying the teachers at this center are incredible and genuinely care for the children. From my initial phone call with the owner for a tour, to meeting Mrs. Shelly (who is one of the best!). My children have been coming here for almost 3 years already and it just gets better with the addition of Ms. Merrit, Ms. Brooke and Ms. Elizabeth.Affordable, safe, friendly and they have music class/gym class! They listen to your concerns and really take the time to understand what you are asking.I’m so thankful that I found this center when I did. Elena & staff, I hope you all know how appreciative I am of the care you provide to my children. Thank you from the bottom of my heart?”

“Magic memories is a wonderful daycare. My son has been going there since he was 3 months old and he loves it there. They welcome him with big smiles and hugs, all the staff there is so friendly. The new directors are such a improvement , they have made the place a way better place. I will continue care here as long as my son can be here ! Thank You for everything you do Magic Memories Plymouth Meeting !!”

“I had my son at the before and after school program for a little bit and we loved it! He made friends, loved his teachers and the big perk was that they were able to drop off/ pickup from his school. Everyone was so sweet, easy to talk to and communicated with me so well. We ended up keeping him there for summer camp one year and he absolutely loved it! I was gonna re enroll but i had a job change and no longer needed childcare. If that hadn’t happened he would still be there. I’m pregnant now and will probably put my new child here if I need to. 10 out of 10 recommend!”

“Working with Andy Snover at MJ Test Prep was a great experience. With Andy's help, I increased my SAT score by almost 300 points. What I found particularly helpful about the process was the comprehensive review of every kind of problem seen on the exam. I had access to so many practice packets and exams that I felt I had mastered each concept by test day.”

“Our three children have attended East Norriton KinderCare for about a year and a half after switching daycares. Right from the onboarding process, both directors Erica and Alisha have been welcoming, helpful, and an overall pleasure to interact with. Our kids are thriving in their respective classrooms. Our twin daughters started in the infant rooms with Ms. Vicki, Ms. Shumaila, Ms. Theresa, and Ms. Suada and received the most loving care. They have moved to the toddler rooms with Ms. Rosa, Ms. Bryana, Ms. Heather and Ms. Dana and have absolutely thrived in all developmental milestones. We are confident they will be fully ready for the next room change. As a twin mom, I fully appreciate our girls being treated as individuals. Our son started in the 2's room with Ms. Kate, Ms. Siobhan, and Ms. Dana and has since had Ms. Keshia, Ms. Katie, and Ms. Lauren in preschool and Pre-K1. He has also shown tremendous growth in the past year and a half. We have nothing but amazing things to say about all of the teachers, floater staff, and directors. This place has become family to us.”

“Can’t say enough great things about Cadence Academy! Our son started at 5 months old and is now approaching 2 years old, we couldn’t be happier with the care he has been receiving and his development overall. You can tell that the teachers and staff truly care about your child and it really does give you a peace of mind knowing your child is in good hands throughout the day. The best part is seeing how happy our son is there and how much he loves his classmates and teachers!”

“Beyond grateful for the teachers and directors at Goddard! Every day they come into work ready to nurture and teach my children. While my husband and I are at work, it is reassuring that our kids are in the best care possible. We love our Goddard family!”

“So far we have had an amazing experience with this school! The teachers, staff, structure, cleanliness, organization, etc. make it so wonderful and dependable. Our son is learning so much already and runs to his classroom every day with a smile on his face. Nothing beats that happiness for a parent.”

“I just wanted to take the time to say how wonderful and amazing the staff are at the Willow Grove Romp n Roll! My daughter just turned three. She has been going to Romp And Roll for about a year now and it is her absolute favorite place to be! We celebrated her third birthday in April of this year , and the staff that was there that day, who helped out with all the activities in the whole process of the birthday party were absolutely amazing! They took care of ALL the things I normally would have handled at any other facility or my home.The birthday party was a Success and definitely stress-free for my husband and I !We recently just experienced the Mother’s Day tea party for the first time and that experience was just beautiful!!! I have waited a very long time to experience Mother’s Day activities and the tea party and all the beautiful decor and activities were so much fun and very much appreciated. My daughter and I had a blast! When my daughter handed me a flower that the staff had provided to give to all the moms, that just melted my heart! Thank you for such a beautiful experience!Thank YouKristin & Mike Cain (Michaelas parents)”

“I cannot speak highly enough of the Goddard School of Chalfont. This school has been an absolute blessing for our family since our little one was just a year old. As we now prepare to transition to full time grade school (5 years later), I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we've had with this school, its loving teachers, and its devoted leaders.

From the very beginning, it was evident that the teachers at Goddard are not only skilled professionals but also genuinely caring individuals. They have nurtured and supported our child every step of the way, fostering an environment where he could learn, grow, and thrive. Their dedication is truly remarkable.

During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, the owner, Staci, went above and beyond to ensure the safety and well-being of both the children and their families. Her communications and transparency were invaluable, providing us with peace of mind during an uncertain period. We will forever be grateful for her leadership and compassion.

I still vividly remember the first week of school for our little one. The warmth and kindness shown by the staff, especially Miss Melissa, Miss Lauren, and his 3 teachers at the time made the transition seamless, even for a hesitant (occasionally over-emotional) parent like myself. They were incredibly understanding and accommodating, offering support every step of the way. The regular updates, including photos and meal reports, became a highlight of our day and helped us feel connected to our child's experience at school.

As we prepare to say goodbye to Goddard, I can't help but feel more than just a tinge of sadness. Elizabeth Stone's quote, "Making the decision to have a child - it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body," rings true for me. For five years, my husband and I have entrusted Goddard with our hearts, and they exceeded all expectations in caring for it. I am eternally grateful for the love, support, and exceptional care they provided to our family.

Thank you, Goddard School of Chalfont, for being more than just a daycare. You have been a second home for our child, a source of comfort and joy, and a cornerstone of his early years. We will cherish the memories, friendships, and lessons learned here forever.”

“Every Science teacher in Philadelphia should be taking advantage of this amazing local resource! Talk about the ultimate field trip! My fifth graders had an amazing, informative and super-engaging experience. Field trips are lead by a team of expert environmental educators who have created a curriculum that is incredibly thoughtful, fun and standards-aligned.There are programs for all ages, K-12. (Preschool too!) Available topics include sustainability, ecosystems, trees, soil and many more! Grant funding was available for my Title I school, making the trip completely free! The Center is also open to the public year-round!The folks at The Schuylkill Center are absolute pros! Each person has their own expertise and specialty; they were all so knowledgeable! Our bus was met by the staff at the Welcome Center. After bathroom and water breaks, they did a circle-up to go over expectations. We separated into small groups and cycled through four stations over the course of the morning, hiking from one station to another.After lunch at the pavilion, we hiked as a group to the Forest Free Play area, which is an awesome pine grove that is set up for tree climbing, fort building and general exploring. The kids had an absolute BLAST! It was so fun!Shoutout to Teachers Sam, Sky, Jason, Declan, Amelia and all of the hardworking folks who are so dedicated to preserving a true Philadelphia Treasure! Can't wait to come back!Restrooms: Available in Welcome CenterDog-friendliness: Because this is a nature preserve, doggos cannot visit :(”

“The teachers and staff are all friendly and caring! It is great to feel comfortable with leaving my child all day! I love the updates and pictures I receive throughout the day! My little one loves going to school and I love that she is comfortable too! She has grown so much in the short time with KinderCare! Thank you!”

“Since day 1, the Goddard Family has been so welcoming. Every teacher has helped my Daughter in their own special way. Having a speech impediment and being a Covid baby, she was a little behind. In no time, she was catching up to her classmates and has opened up to be a shining star. I wouldn’t call Goddard a “Day Care” as these kids are truly learning and being prepared for their own districts school. Goddard of Montgomeryville is an amazing SCHOOL where you will be treated like Family! Highly Recommend!!”

“We absolutely love the care for our special needs son here! They are so kind, patient, and my son really loves it here which is most important! I would definitely recommend Brightside Academy for your child! 10/10”

“My son loves it. He’s been going for years. No frills—don’t expect hourly updates or video footage. Reasonable rates. Willing to accommodate for schedule changes. Pre-K curriculum is on point.”

“The Godard School in Blue Bell has very good facility and safety environment. The teachers there are energetic, passionate, patient and kind to kids. The management team always keeps timely and transparent communication with parents. It's a top place for kids to go.”

“This center is not the most impressive when you tour the facility, but that’s not what makes this center special. The classrooms are well stocked and the educational and creative activities they do each day continue to engage my child in learning. We receive pictures and videos each day which helps us talk about the day with our child. I am grateful that they have no potty training policy as our child has been delayed in that milestone which has blocked them from other educational opportunities at this most crucial age for learning. The teachers are wonderful and the center director, Sarah, responds to all emails and questions as well as greets each child by name every morning. We have had a few issues (unrelated to school) and the open and honest communication with Sarah helped us figure out a solution and feel confident returning to school.”

“My daughter spent her summer here and we loved it! I can't express how thrilled I am with the Honeyland daycare center. From the engaging activities to the caring and attentive staff, every aspect exceeded my expectations. My little one came home every day bubbling with excitement, sharing stories of new friends made and fun adventures had. It's wonderful to know that my child is not only having a blast but also learning and growing in such a nurturing environment. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Honeyland to all parents! Now that summer is over we are so sad to see her go, but the commute was becoming more inconvenient once school time came back around. Thank you honey land for giving my toddler an amazing summer!”

“I love this place! I have been working here for three years so far! The staff is awesome and the children are so much fun! I recommend enrolling here or even working here!! Would put a million stars if I could! :)”

“I highly recommend Chesterbook Academy Chalfont. Our now 7 year-old started at CA when he was 6 months old - and continued on until transitioning to NP Kindergarten. We were partners in his growth every step of the way— from celebrating milestones to working through developmental steps that took more time. The entire team handled the new challenges of COVID with flexibility, positivity and grace. More recently, during a difficult time, they were there for us like family – checking in, offering help and providing incredible flexibility with our daughter’s schedule. Our daughter is lucky to have many of the same fabulous teachers who were there with our son and looks forward to her school days! We get multiple communications throughout the day via photos and can easily message teachers or principals at any time with questions, info or concerns. We are so very blessed to have found CA!”

“We are very glad that we chose this school for our 3 year old. Since he started coming here, his development has been tremendous. Its important that schools are on the same page with parents on kids upbringing and this school have exceeded my expectations. I never have to worry about my kid when I drop him home to school. I work nights and sleep in the day. I can say I sleep well knowing that my kid is in good hands. Thank God for this school!”

“Hello, my experience is wonderful, Angélica learns so many things every day that we are all very happy at home, I have no doubts with you, for me it is the best daycare that I chose for my daughter, I recommend it to everyone, I was always afraid of put my daughter in daycare, but you made me change my mind! Thank you for your affection and love for my princess Angelica”

“This school helped my son a lot he enjoyed the last 2 years now it’s on to kindergarten. Def send ya kid here you won’t regret it.. Thanks to all the staff for looking after my kid ?”

“My son has been going to Kindercare since he was 2 and we had to switch daycares due to the pandemic. He has absolutely loved it there and is excited everyday to go! Miss Sarah is a wonderful director and is there everyday whenever I have a problem or need anything. He also has had many caring teachers that go above and beyond for him like Miss Tori who seems to be in every room when needed! We love seeing all the teachers smiling faces at drop off and pick up and we always feel at home when walking in the door! I would recommend this daycare to anyone who wants a great connection with the people watching your child everyday!”

“What can I say.... Chesterbrook Academy-Horsham is a great school. My son started in Feb 2021 in the toddler's room and recently graduated this year and now is on his way to kindergarten. When my husband and I started looking for schools to meet my son's needs, we took him along to every visit. When he entered CBA for our visit, we were greeted by the Principal and Assistant Principal, and my son embraced them right away (and he does not do that with everyone). By the end of the visit, I told the former Assistant Principal (now Principal) that I think we made a decision. The progression I have seen over the years with my son is amazing and CBA plays a major part in his growth. If you are looking for a positive environment for your child where the teachers and staff work together to make sure that your child is equipped with the early tools for the future, then Chesterbrook Academy- Horsham is the place.”
