Schools near East Norriton, PA

“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.”

“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.”

“I highly recommend The Goddard School of Collegeville for their Kindergarten program. That is the only year that our daughter attended, so I can’t speak to the other classrooms (although I would suspect they are just as good!) Mrs. Hagy & Mr. Frangoulis are the absolute best. My daughter started at Goddard in Kindergarten, so many of the students had already been together for a few years, but the welcoming atmosphere of everyone from the front desk, the owners, the teachers and classmates (and their families!) made her feel right at home. There was not a single day that she didn’t want to go to school. She learned so much. Aside from the basics, she learned about various cultures, how to play chess, several different music genres, how to be a good friend and citizen. They pack a lot into their days and she came away from The Goddard School with so much more than the day she entered and we are so sad that her time there is now done.”

“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 !!”

“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 ❤

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“A very Professional place, my son graduated from Pretend this year and he learned a lot and the teachers are very good, all the staff are always attentive and they also speak Spanish.”

“Choosing the right school and childcare for our children can be daunting, but Margaret George School and Child Care Center made this decision a breeze with its nurturing environment, dedicated staff, and robust educational programs. From the moment we stepped into the facility, we were welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere that made both us and our children feel immediately comfortable and secure.

The teachers at Margaret George are exceptional. They are not only highly qualified but also genuinely caring and passionate about children's development. Each day, they provide a variety of engaging and educational activities that encourage learning and creativity. It's reassuring to see our children excited to share their day's experiences when we pick them up, speaking enthusiastically about what they’ve learned.

The curriculum is impressively diverse, covering essential academic subjects integrated with art, music, and physical education, ensuring a well-rounded development. We've noticed significant progress in our children’s literacy and numeracy skills, as well as in their social interactions and confidence.

Safety and cleanliness are clearly priorities here. The center is always spotless and well-maintained, with protocols in place to ensure the well-being of every child. Communication is another area where Margaret George excels. The staff provides regular updates and is always available to discuss our children’s progress or any concerns we might have.

In addition, the flexibility in childcare hours has been a great help to our varying schedules, making it easier to manage our work-life balance without compromising our children's care and education.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to entrust our children to Margaret George School and Child Care Center. It stands out not just as a place for learning, but as a community that fosters warmth, safety, and growth. We highly recommend it to any parent considering options for their children's early education and care.”

“Goddard is by far the best daycare that I have gone to. Great teachers and owner and directors. Of the 4 or 5 daycares that I've used Goddard is hands down the best. Thanks Gretchen and everyone else. Sal”

“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 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.”

“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!!”

“My son attended cadence academy for pre k for two years after having a horrific experience at a skippack daycare. He absolutely loved his time there. He has a disability and did so well there. They were so accepting. This is a place where my son truly felt loved for who he is. He is about to go into 2nd grade and the other day in the car he was remembering his time with Miss Tami with love and fondness. As a parent, I felt he was very prepared for kinder. He was above level by the time he entered kindergarten. We love cadence. So much that we drove 15 minutes out of the way to school to drop him off and during the summer drove 1hr round trip to keep him there a few days a week. Highly recommended.”

“My son is in the infant room with Miss Arlene, Miss Carol & Miss Laura! They are amazing!! I can tell they really care about my son. They always give detailed reports about his day!!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“We’re very happy with KinderCare Collegeville. The teachers are great and kind, the management do all they can to run this facility safely for students and staff.
My daughter loves and adores her teachers, she learned a lot and developed an incredible personality.
This daycare supported a well balanced development for my child and improved independent learning skills.
I am grateful we have a spot and we hope to grow with this wonderful program.”

“Couldn’t have been happier with Bright Horizons. They made everything so easy, and I was always sure that my baby was being taken care of. He was happy and challenged with their curriculum. Cannot recommend enough.”

“I can't rave enough about this school. From the teachers being the priority, to the building being updated, to the security, to the education, to Miss Lisa and Miss Deanna, to the genuine care given to every child. My son's infant room teachers are true professionals at what they do. Starting with Miss Stephanie, and then to Miss Stacy and Miss Skylar and the addition of Miss Sarah. They help you raise your children, reach appropriate milestones and create an environment of learning, kindness and care. My son is happy at his school and is getting the resources that he needs to develop into a positive, intelligent, kind member of society. My daughter went through the entire Goddard curriculum 10 years ago and now we are doing the same with our son. My husband and I laugh often that we cannot afford this school, but we do not care. Take our money. You get what you pay for and there is nowhere else that I could fathom sending my children. They set the standard”

“We've had a great experience with the Goddard School in Wayne! The teachers and staff provide a wonderful environment for learning and development. Our kids have made great friendships and been well prepared for their next steps in life.”

“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!”

“Thank you for all you do, we are glad we made the change to this childcare center. My children come home happy and I enjoy seeing the pictures of what they did that day. The cameras were great to have when we started , now I barley peek in because I trust them and know my children are in good hands.”

“If I could give this KinderCare location 20 stars I would, my children are so happy here. The teachers do such a great job of creating and maintaining a safe, loving, fun environment for the children!”

“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!”
