Schools near Chadds Ford, PA

“The teachers at the Goddard School of Chadds Ford are terrific. We feel confident that our daughter is learning every day, comes home happy, and developing at her age.”

“I’ve been meaning to write this review, but clearly time has gotten away from me? We just wanted to Thank You all for the many years that both my daughters have been with you all at The Goddard School! Thank you for having such a caring and nurturing environment for them to learn in. It was such a positive experience for all and they have learned so much! Both of my daughters were very prepared for kindergarten! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we are so sad to have “aged out” of the Goddard school, but will always be a part of the Goddard family! Hugs to you all! ?”

“Had a great first day experience! Teachers were kind and welcoming, followed my child's routine from home. I got a call from the center at lunchtime with an update on how the day was going and was so glad to hear my child had enjoyed the LEAP board and games!”

“We’ve been a Goddard Marshallton Family for over 6 years and can honestly say we’ve had a wonderful experience for our 2 boys. Our 2nd son just graduated Pre-K in June. I’ve said my “thank yous” over the years in a bunch of ways but I just can’t appreciate the teachers and staff of Goddard enough for all of their love, care, encouragement, and support. As a parent, you hope upon hope that your own children gain a love of learning from a young age. An enthusiasm, a curiosity, a wonder…and then all the other important things…rule following, routines, and friendships. The staff and teachers at Goddard have done what we couldn’t as working parents and what my boys needed in early education. I couldn’t be happier with our experience for the last 6 years and I couldn’t be more appreciative to every single teacher and staff member that have come into our lives. As an elementary teacher myself, my oldest son was more than ready when he graduated from Goddard Marshallton and began kindergarten. He knew his numbers, letters, letter sounds, book mechanics, how to share, play, follow directions, communicate with words, etc. (all things we look for in upcoming kindergartners). I know my youngest will have no problem with the adjustment, as well. You’ve left your mark on the Archambault Family, Goddard, and most importantly on our boys. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!”

“The children welcomes you,as well as the employees. It's small and diverse, just what my husband and I were looking for. All of the teacher's have degrees. And more than half of them have been there for several years. Oh did I forget to mention their early hours and how they are a 5 Star Program .”

“It’s not enough words that can describe how truly amazing Goddard on Nields is. My youngest started here when she was 3, she fell in love with the staff and so did I. They care for the children here as if they are their own. They spoil them with love and I never felt uneasy about leaving my daughter with her teachers. The love is so genuine, and they really enrich their little lives with the best education. The summer camp is always filled with events, including pony rides, water play every week, and continuous music enrichment activities. I’ll always suggest Goddard to parents who are looking for good quality childcare!”

“We have a great daycare here at the learning center. I have been with the center for almost two years. The teachers are loving and show our childern how to love their firends and there is so much more they can offer your child. Please check them out.”

“I can’t praise this place enough. My two boys have grown so much, and that’s because of the deeply talented and loving staff. Miss Jenn, Alaysia, Brittney, Ally, Nino…absolutely fabulous educators and human beings. They work so dang hard to ensure my boys thrive and feel loved — and you can’t ever put a price on that. I wish my boys could stay here K-12.”

“Wonderful place. I go for the Senior Activities. The personnel is very polite and helpful. The people who go there are are friendly and fun. There are many activities offered such as Mah Jong, Canasta, Bridge, chair yoga, water aerobics and many more. I highly recommend it.”

“West Chester Playschool is a loving and nurturing environment that engages children in exploring and learning at their own pace. Parents and teachers work in collaboration to get to know your child and support their growth. This is more than a preschool. It is a community of like minded parents and educators who love children and helping them thrive.”

“I gave a 4 star due to tuition. For an establishment that cost $374/weekly full time 3.5/4year old, I'd expect rates to be listed in the packet. However tuition was presented to me on a sticky note like a deal on a movie at the end of the tour and there was no list or documentation of rates. I've sent my children to private institutions in the past and they all have tuition rates listed online. If rates are not presented online they are in their welcome packet. That may be okay for some parents. Now if a parent recieves Childcare assistance the child could attend paying as low as $100 weekly from what I was told. I get it, it's business you have to be exclusive with rates while being inclusive and able to compensate the staff.If you're okay with that rate and the presentation of tuition, I'd recommend. I felt it would be a good fit for my daughter. My daughter and I toured the school and the tour went well. I can't remember the woman's name she was not the director. She was very welcoming, down to earth, knowledgeable with all questions and concerns. All of the staff/ teachers that we encountered were engaged with the children and lunch smelled good that day. They have a nice playground area for the children, the curriculum pressented seemed to meet my expectations. The classrooms were very bright, they are very tech saavy which is nice.”

“Lightbridge is amazing! My son has been there since he was 16 weeks old. He loves each and every teacher/staff member there. We are all treated like family! Olivia and Will (Director and Owner) are both very involved in every family's lives and genuinely care!”

“My husband, 18 month old, and I LOVED ABC and we were heartbroken to have to leave when we moved. The teachers were so invested in our child's growth, and their passion for children was obvious and heartfelt. Megan (the director) does a wonderful job in keeping open and honest lines of communication and keeping parents up to date, even throughout the twists and turns of the pandemic. I also loved that the lessons weren't always just focused on counting, ABCs, etc. but social & emotional skills too - empathy, how to treat our friends, emotions, etc. So important to teach our kids early, and they are NEVER too young. THANK YOU ABC!”

“Archmere Academy is an amazing college prep high school. The challenging curriculum, supportive staff and amazing facilities are a gift to all who attend this school. Available financial aid helped make attending this school a reality for me. Such an amazing place.”

“The school is well run. The staff is incredible and very involved. They know all of the kids by name whether or not they are in their class. When I drop my kids off in the morning they are greeted as if they’re being dropped off at a relatives house. It’s heart warming. They also offer additional after school activities and manage to strike a nice balance between teaching the kids and showing them a great time.”

“We have had our son enrolled at SNT since he was almost 4 months old in 2018. We took him out for about a year for COVID but other than that, he's been there the whole time and we LOVE it! Ms. Liz the director is so hardworking and dedicated to the kiddos, and much more hands-on than I've heard of directors at other daycares. She is also super accessible and communicative. The teachers have all been great. The cost is extremely reasonable compared to other places and includes treats like music day, yoga (!), pizza day on Wednesdays, snacks, etc. I love that it feels like a small in-home daycare but has the resources of a larger chain daycare. The photos and videos through the brightwheel app make my day. They also make all kinds of holiday crafts with the kids to send home to us. I have my laminated mother's day handprint + photo hanging in my closet :) Also looking forward to someday taking advantage of the Parents' Night Out babysitting they occasionally offer.We made a great choice with SNT and I will be so sad when it's time for him to start kindergarten!”

“It’s been 10 years since I graduate field street (2011) this is my childhood school really miss my old days going to this school every mornings as a kid ? now I’m in college crazy time flies by so quickly :,)”

“Top rate teachers and facilities! The class sizes are all small so that each child can receive adequate attention. The classrooms are spacious and clean. Willowdale is so much different than other centers I've visited or used over the years. I definitely recommend this Center to anyone who asks about local childcares!”
