Schools in West Chester, 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!”

“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!”

“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 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!”

“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”

“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 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.”

“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”
