I previously worked as an educator at Great Valley KinderCare located in Malvern, PA. I can’t express the amount of love, support, team work, and the family that I gained through this career endeavor. I relocated housing out of state which forced me to resign my position. I had an experience I’ll never forget being apart of this KinderCare family. The director of this facility Rachel Yocum was nothing less then AMAZING! You can see the passion and love for what she does and it shows through her hard work, dedication, and devotion to the children, families, and her employees. The educators are true professionals who love what they do and they never fail to make that known by the work, time, and effort they put into their career. The facility as a whole is organized, clean, welcoming, and the best environment I could have imagined while conquering my profession as an educator. I hope to return as a employee in this center when I relocate back to Pennsylvania, so I can have these educators give my own children in the future the absolute best learning experience. I can’t express enough how much this facility, company, educators, and director has shaped me into the teacher I have become. Thank you for all that you do and for making my time in your facility the best journey I could have taken in my teaching career.

We love the Great Valley location! Our daughter and son have been going since they were infants (minus closed time during the pandemic) and we couldn’t be happier! The teachers are wonderful, our son loves Miss Gianne and Ms. Kathy and our daughter has been lucky enough to try have great teachers in every room!The only thing I wish there was more of was updates on how their specific day was rather than a general class update, that being said if you ask they’re always very happy to go into details!Great staff, location and kids!

We started our daughter at Great Valley KinderCare at 3 months old. She is now almost 8 months and thriving! She loves her days at "school," and we take comfort knowing she is loved and cared for. GV KinderCare has taken every precaution to safeguard our daughter from Covid and we truly appreciate the hard work and dedication of the staff. The KinderCare App is a wonderful tool that makes us feel connected to our daughter during the day. We know when she's sleeping, eating, playing, etc. The messaging feature is awesome and staff is always quick to respond. We are so happy with our decision to send our daughter to GV KinderCare and would recommend to any parent. Especially parents working in the Great Valley Corporate Center!

Both of our children go to KinderCare at Great Valley (my son only a few weeks due to COVID) and we couldn’t be happier. The kids love it and thrive at school, the teachers are all amazing and very personable with the children. My daughter loves going to see her friends and teachers, and has learned a lot since being there. Highly recommended!!

I cannot say enough good things about Great Valley KinderCare. We started my 2.5 year old here two months ago and it’s amazing how much he’s learned in such a short time. His teachers are phenomenal and the directors, Rachel and Besa, greet him every morning in such a warm way, he’s excited to run into school to start his day. We toured other centers and we just didn’t get the warm and fuzzies we got when we found GVKC. An added bonus- they have an app so we get updates about his meals, his diaper changes, and pictures of him doing so many fun activities throughout the day. He always looks like he’s having a blast and always being kept busy! I didn’t think the transition to day care would be this easy, since he’d been home with grandparents for the first 2.5 years of his life, but the directors and teachers made him feel comfortable almost immediately. Great center, great location, great staff!

My kids love the relationships they have with their teachers. They implemented a KinderCare app that provides me real time updates throughout the day and includes pictures! From infant all the way through T-K there days are filled with sensory play, art, and learning. They work with you through any behavior issues your child has and try different avenues and keep open communication with the parents about their development. In addition, as a busy working mother of two it is helpful that they provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks throughout the day. I enjoy that the meals are a variety of vegetarian and meat options and they always contain a fruit or vegetable. Finally, the COVID-19 guidelines and procedures they have in place have made the experience a safe and enjoyable one during these conditions.

We've had such a great experience here! Our little girl started here in the infant room and is now with the toddlers. Constantly get updates during the day with pictures and notes about what activities they are doing and when they are eating/sleeping. It really puts my mind at ease knowing she's being so well taken care of. They teachers all care for the kids as if they were they're own and it's so reassuring for me that my daughter has a place to go that she loves while I'm working. Highly highly recommend!!

This center is the best!!! I used to work in daycare so there were certain things I was looking for when I first toured. I toured another center in the area that was not very warm and welcoming. I called this center right after that and Rachel, the director, let me stop by to tour with a 5 minute notice. That was a very good sign. The teachers all seemed so loving and they are! That was most important to me when enrolling my daughter at 10 months. She is in toddlers now and every teacher has loved her like their own. Rachel and the assistant director Bessa run the center very well and have a pleasant attitude every day. My daughter will happily take their hand to go inside and doesn't want to leave at the end of the day now. The app is fantastic and me, my husband, and grandparents get to see how happy she is during the day. They are also taking good precautions with the coronavirus situation.

I can’t say enough good things about KinderCare! It’s like a second home to us and such a great resource. My son started at 4 months in the infant room and is now in the toddler room and every interaction with the teachers and directors leaves me feeling like they truly care about him as a little person and us as a family. I love that it’s flexible and that we have the option to do anywhere from 1 to 5 days a week and that we can switch up the days we pick each week based on my work schedule. I have yet to find another place that’s as flexible, but even beyond that, the teachers are top quality and we’re getting so much value for the level of interaction and education that he receives. They do regular parent-teacher conferences and keep us updated on developmental milestones and how he’s progressing and I actually feel like I’m sending him to a preschool versus daycare. Don’t hesitate to enroll. It’s one of the best decisions we made since having him and we couldn’t love it more!!

Teachers genuinely care about my kid and share stories about her school day frequently. My daughter loves going to school and makes a lot of friends there even at a very young age. Having a meal plan is so convenient for working mom. The school also has a lot of fun activities and art work.

We had a wonderful experience at Great Valley KinderCare. The teachers are very thorough, caring, and informative. Even for infants, they really take the time to get to know the "personality" of the kids and adjust to their schedule. As a first-time parent, they helped make the transition comfortable and seamless. The center even provided me with comfortable accommodations to nurse my son at lunch. The Directors communicated frequently and openly about everything I needed to know.We had such a wonderful experience and are sad to leave due to proximity of new jobs. I would recommend this center to anyone and everyone!

Very rude management, the director Rachel is very rude to answer questions. Very upset. I’m taking my daughter to other day care not here anymore.Good luck
