Schools near Paoli, PA

“Absolutely unbelievable school. Very clean and expertly run organization. For 4 years I listened to the horror stories of my sister’s day care woes. This place is open in all bad weather, my child may have had to be picked up MAYBE 3 times over 4 years. They internally problem solve and try not to interrupt the parent’s day at all costs. Maybe the best part is they provide lunch and snacks for the kids. NO PACKING LUNCHES!! Just drop off your kiddos and roll. The parents got enough to do, thank you Learning Experience, it has been an absolute pleasure working and playing with you. If any one is considering other local schools, just stop looking and sign up here. You won’t be disappointed. Special thank you to Mr Langston and Miss Chrissy. Hope we cross paths again!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Playschool was an extraordinary experience for our two boys. The concept of kids learning through play is the central focus of the program for all groups, ages 2 to 5. The staff are warm and welcoming to the students and also the parents. Parents are true partners with the school and heavily involved in the activities. As my children's first "school" experience, it was wonderful. They had fun and learned the basic skills for kindergarten through play-based activities. They learned to be curious and exploring while the staff guided them and kept them safe. There is not a better preschool in the area!”

“All of our children have been to Goddard Newtown Square and, having tried a few daycares with our first child, Goddard is the best and we wouldn’t want to take our children anywhere else. It is a safe, clean, fun and loving environment. The teachers and administrators are the best- always willing to listen and help anyway they can to ensure our children have the best experience.”

“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! ?”

“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.”

“KinderCare in Phoenixville Pa, provides such a loving and structured environment.
The staff is so accommodating and the kids love it there. I had 3 littles attending and they come home so happy!
Plus I get daily reviews and pics of what they are doing all day!”

“There are no words when it comes to my appreciation for this school and staff. We knew we wanted to send our son Jackson to a good environment but were blown away at how amazing it was for him. He has excelled in his speech, OT and over all behavior thanks to the services Goddard allowed him to receive while attending school there. We are going to miss the teachers so much when he graduates but will be sending our 2 young girls there in the future. You won’t be disappointed with your tour, the facility is clean , friendly and allows children to thrive the way they are suppose to ! We love You Goddard xo”

“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”

“I absolutely loved the woodworking 2 class. I was a complete beginner and the instructors were so patient and knowledgable. It was an amazing experience and I look forward to taking another class! Highly recommend!!!!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“AMAZING. SMART. THE COOLEST.

I love Magic Memories from my inside out!! Magic Memories is thorough, clear, and has strong values for the company to uphold. Magic Memories is an outstanding company which confidently holds its staff to appropriately high expectations.”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Mike at Golf Galaxy, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received. I was on the hunt for a specific shaft for my driver, and Mike went above and beyond to help me find the perfect fit. 10/10 experience.”

“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”

“I had an incredibly positive experience with Kiddie Academy of Phoenixville for my two children. Kiddie Academy is more than just a daycare; it's a second home where children thrive, learn, and build lifelong skills in a loving and secure environment.The staff is caring, and attentive. The educators go above and beyond to create a warm and loving atmosphere. They celebrate each child's individuality and encourage their curiosity.The facility is clean, well-organized, and filled with engaging activities. My children always come home with big smiles, eager to share their day's adventures.The daycare team communicates effectively, providing regular updates on my children's progress and well-being. It's evident that they genuinely care about the children's growth and happiness. Our daycare director Ms Laura consistently goes above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for our kids. We couldn't ask for a better leader for our daycare.Safety is a top priority here, and I felt confident that my kids were in good hands. The secure entry system and strict safety protocols offered peace of mind.I highly recommend Kiddie Academy to any parent seeking a loving, educational, and safe environment for their little ones. It's been a fantastic experience for my family, and I couldn't be happier with the care and attention my children received.”

“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.”

“We've had a great experience at Goddard KOP! My son was there starting at 3 months old til he graduated to K and my daughter is there now. The teachers are fabulous, caring, and really get to know your child. The admin is communicative and responsive. The facility is fun with a lovely playground. They're constantly organizing new cool activities for the kids and are creative with crafts and other fun stuff. My kids have both loved going to Goddard and we have felt confident they are well cared for there. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

“The outdoor waterpark is excellent for little kids. Very large splash pad and small slides perfect for toddlers, as well as a couple of larger slides for the bigger kids/adults”
