“It's hard to believe we've spent 4 years at Primrose School of Concordville. Rounding out our time, Ms. Madison & Ms. Sasmita have guided my daughter in her final year of Pre-K, setting her on a great path for Kindergarten. I genuinely appreciate the leadership of Kelly, the Director, who ensures a positive and nurturing environment. Anaiya and Kristen in the office have been consistently reliable, attentive, and caring, always ready to help. Credit also goes to Christina Barker, the Area Director, for upholding the school's high standards.Based on our experience over the years, Primrose has been a great choice for our family, far exceeding alternatives in the area!”

“I dont know what happened, but this was a great learning experience and wake up call. Changed my life!!! Between Polk and Tyler Hall yeah it was rough, yeah they put they're hands on you . Lots of military staff and old school members. My counselors Eric, from Polk and night counselor Mike in Tyler. Lots of wisdom. Poor execution. 98-99 Got a Ged, dj certification, played golf and swam two seasons each.”

“The West Chester YMCA is fabulous!The facility is huge and very well maintained. The class instructors are knowledgeable, helpful and caring.I attend the aqua classes both in the shallow pool with Leslie S. as well as in the deep water pool with Kevin C.They are amazing instructors in every way! My husband enjoys exercising in the E-gym. The cost of membership is negligible compared to all they offer.And one more endearing fact: the staff cares very much about helping the community by having such things as food drives and raising money to provide exercise services for those that are unable ordinarily afford going there.”

“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! ?”

“The Goddard School is my daughter's home away from home. I felt that since the day she has started in the infant room there has been nothing but continued support for her to learn and truly be herself! As a mother and teacher it is upmost important to me that my child feels comfortable to be themselves and to succeed in a hands on environment! The Goddard schools has done nothing but succeed at this! Her father and I are absolutely in love with the location, the teachers progression plans and developmental stages, and the true care they hold for our whole world!”

“Our daughter Bella looks forward to coming in each day, not only to play with friends but to learn something new from her amazing teachers. The Learning Experience in Exton comes highly recommended.”

“The Goddard School of Chadds Ford has done an amazing job. Our daughter has been there since the spring of '21, and it has been an incredible experience thus far. She loves going to school, and we love seeing all the photos of her throughout the day via their Tadpoles app. During her time there, she has grown by leaps and bounds, and we are so grateful for her wonderful teachers, especially Miss Meghan and Miss Bree. We've been so impressed that we plan on sending our son to the Goddard School in the hopefully near future!”

“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!”

“Kindercare thornbury was the only KinderCare in the tristate area who was willing to get my daughter Nina regestered and enrolled as soon as possible.I went on 7 tours in the local area and even tho KinderCare thornbury is a 30 min drive it’s well worth it. When my daughter Nina and I went to do a tour I was extremely impressed with how welcoming everybody apart of mrs aliyahs (director of the facility) team was . I noticed a few things immediately as I entered , the cleanliness of the entire place was varsity and every person I came in contact with was more than kind. As soon as I walked in my daughter Nina’s reaction was different then at each previous KinderCare we visited that day, she actually wanted to be put down so she could explore and interact with the other children there . She played with the students in the toddler class while the director Aliyah showed me around . The second thing I noticed was the team work amongst all the teachers and staff, As I watched teachers transition to different classrooms, prepare snacks and etc. I couldn’t help but notice howHappy and content all the students were. Finally the third and obvious thing I noticed was the how orginaized the facility was . Mrs Aliyah’s team at KinderCare thornbury not only work together .. but each staff member is child focused and it was clear each staff member took pride in there work. I personally think infant and pre school employees along with any other early childhood development teachers/ councilors/directors etc should get paid like doctors. If there’s anytime at all to have a good teacher it’s ages 0-3. Those first three years are the mostImportant years of a human life . As a whole I think people lost touch with how important and necessary it is to have good teachers/councilors/directors when there children are at such a young age .5 stars . 5 stars . 5 stars . Extremely great full for KinderCare thornbury and the strides and improvements my daughter has made there. There is no better feeling in the world then being able to drop your child off at daycare and just know that they are 100 percent in good hands . Words can’t describe how great full I am for everyone at KinderCare thornbury . I recognize the HUGE role everyone at KinderCare thornbury has in my daughters life and early childhood development.. and I wouldn’t have it any other way . 5 stars”

“Our daughter absolutely loves going to school! Her teachers and administrators have become an extension of our family as they have created such a fun nurturing learning environment. The curriculum is helping her develop her emotional and social skills which will set the foundation for her learning as she gets older!”

“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.”

“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 enrolled our three young children into Willowdale and since then our kids have excelled beyond our expectations. The teachers are amazing and really focus on developing the children's learning capabilities and that is extremely important to us. Enrollment was simple and the cost was very reasonable (especially for three kids). We would absolutely recommend Willowdale.”

“Kindercare Boothwyn is the Best!!!I love this center so much… My son learned so much and be so excited about going to school. My favorite part is my child learning sign languages. It makes my heart smile to know that he loves school and the teachers... I love getting pictures of my child every day while I’m working, it make me feel at ease.. Thank y’all for taking care of my baby. I definitely recommend this place..❤️Shot out to Ms. Jess & Mr.Keith two amazing teachers..”

“I simply love the sincerity and love for Jesus that Richard displays, i love the worship. I love the sermons and i will miss Marcia. I hopee the discernment committee might look for another woman for our staff!”

“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.”

“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.”

“The staff is so friendly and caring.. neat and clean admosphere too.. we as grandparents feel safe and comfortable to leave our one year old in their care for the day.”

“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!”

“My family has had an incredible experience with Lightbridge Academy in Garnet Valley. From the moment we enrolled our child, we knew we made the right choice for their early education. The center exudes warmth, care, and a genuine commitment to children's development.The staff at Lightbridge Academy is outstanding. The dedication and enthusiasm they display daily are remarkable and create a positive atmosphere that is evident the moment you walk through the door.Under the new leadership, the center has undergone positive changes that have significantly enhanced the overall experience. Communication with the staff and administration has been exceptional. The team is always accessible, providing regular updates on our child's progress and happily addressing any concerns we may have. Their willingness to listen and work collaboratively with parents is truly appreciated.The facility itself is well-maintained, clean, and designed to stimulate a child's imagination. The safety measures in place give us peace of mind, knowing our child is in a secure environment.Communication between the staff and parents has improved significantly. Regular updates on a child's progress, along with open channels for parents to provide feedback, have made us feel more connected and involved in our child's education. The director's open-door policy and willingness to listen to parents' concerns and suggestions have created a sense of partnership and trust.”

“I have been using Kindercare for 4 years now. They are extremely accommodating, with wonderful and friendly staff. My kids have made wonderful friends in this establishment. They also offer transport too and from most schools which is a wonderful perk. This year they will be helping with my daughters virtual learning (thank goodness). I love Kindercare Naamans road and I don't know what I would do without them!”

“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!”

“My wife and I could not be happier with CCEP. Our 20-month-old son is a Tiny Seed there this year, and we have found the school to be full of loving, caring, and professional teachers and administrators. The school focuses on learning through play, and he can socialize with other students thanks to CCEP's COVID protocols. CCEP has everything we want for our children: a sense of community, caring, and age-appropriate education all built on an Episcopalian foundation. Our second son is due this May, and he will follow his older both to CCEP.”

“Brandywine has been a lifesaver to my two little monsters Geryll and Rocko! The staff is wonderful with the boys, and they come home extremely happy every single time they go to Brandywine. I have recommended Brandywine to several of my friends and would feel comfortable recommending it to anyone!”

“Great school filled with teachers who love their job!It’s a bit pricey but it’s worth itThis place keeps the children active with activities from arts and crafts, bike riding, moon bounce, cooking and water play.Cleanliness: The rooms are clean and I have seen the workers follow protocol when it comes to sanitation.I was reluctant to send my child to daycare but the Children Academy staff made me quite comfortable.”

“The teachers and staff are tremendous! They are patient, kind and loving towards their students. In addition, our son has learned and grown so much in the Montessori program. We can't say enough positive things. Highly recommend!”

“I love this facility and staff! My family recently relocated to Charlotte, NC and we were so sad to leave our daycare home. Below is the letter I wrote to the Westtown Kindercare Director during our last week together:Lorraine,I want to thank you for taking such great care of Mason over the past 15 months.My mother-in-law had taken care of Finnley as a baby so this has been my first experience with a daycare facility. I was sick to my stomach when Mason was a newborn and I was touring local facilities; I just wanted him home with me or with his grandparents. Westtown Kindercare was the first facility where I didn't want to cry during my tour. I told my husband that I wanted Mason to go to Kindercare and we would figure out the cost somehow; which we did!In InfantA, Miss Becky and Miss Katie took such great care of him and I felt I could trust them to keep him safe and secure during the day. Then Covid hit and he stayed home with me for 5 months or so and we all struggled to acclimate him again to the daycare routine. I knew he was in good hands with his new teachers (Miss Holly and Miss Tina) and with you and Miss Karen. You even allowed him to bring his blankie to school and I laugh everytime I see his pictures on the Kindercare App with his blankie in tow (he looks like Linus!)Mason has been thriving over the past few months and I see him building new skills and growing in confidence everyday. He is happy to go to school and this has been such a relief to me and my "mom guilt". My favorite part of my day is watching him walk out of his classroom at the end of the day with Miss Patty or with that young man who works in the evenings; my heart explodes when I see him hustling to me at the door with his lunch box and blankie!I know I told you this in the past but I recommend Westtown Kindercare to everyone in the area with little kids.Please thank your staff for me! We will miss you all and can only hope to find another daycare home like yours in our new town in NC.”
