    Co-owners, Barbara and Steve have turned this location around in the best ways possible. We've were…read morehere with three kids over 10 years, and since Barbara and Steve took over, they have implemented an environment of supporting the staff, enhanced safety features, new and engaging activities and opportunities for the kids, and positivity all around. It's amazing to see the school decorates for holidays and celebrations, teachers recognized and children lifted up. The summer camp is amazing now, and is a true age-appropriate camp. I cannot stress enough how wonderful the Malvern location is now, and it's due to Steve and Barbara's leadership.

    We have been with this school for a total of 7 years.

The school has new owners that took over, over a year ago and they are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! They deeply care and they have done so much to update the school and make it a great, fun place for kids to grow and learn. Since the new owners took over, shout out to Steve and Barbara, I don't have one negative thing to say about our experience there. Ms. Jenny and Ms. Ellen in the front are so caring and Amazing. We love everyone here and we want to thank them for taking great care of my kids while we are at work. If you're deciding on a daycare and you can find a spot here, don't think twice! Highly, highly recommend!!

There are better options available for girls looking for either a private or parochial Catholic education. It is simply not worth the money for a variety of reasons. Academically, there is little to no accountability in the middle school. The science program has been deficient for a number of years, with students needing to self-teach based on YouTube videos. Languages last year moved to students teaching themselves with Rosetta Stone. The level of academic rigor for many of the other subjects is simply not there compared to other available options, including many of the parochial schools that surround Villa, and the girls are simply not being prepared for the rigor and accountability of high school. There are no end of year academic awards, so there is really no reason for the girls to try hard to achieve in the classroom. Athletically, the school has gone downhill from where it was years ago. Parent coaches with no oversight or training who use it as a forum to showcase their own daughters and friends rather than try to develop the girls and create winning programs are the norm. The school also does not allow any players to participate in diocesan all-star games where the truly talented girls can be exposed to a better level of competition. Partnerships with the local boys' schools like Malvern and Devon do not exist for things like the plays and service projects. It has been made very clear for the girls participating in Malvern plays that it is not considered a Villa-sponsored activity and there is no acknowledgement of it. Again, this was not always the case but appears to be something new in the past few years. Achievement at Villa is neither encouraged nor rewarded - a missed opportunity to create an environment where girls build each other up and celebrate each other's talents and strengths. The exact opposite environment exists at Villa. We were close to pulling our daughter last year but decided to let her finish her time and focus on high school selection rather than transfer her to another school. It is a pity because I've heard that, at one time, people thought very highly of this school, but in speaking with current parents, there is a definite sense of unhappiness and negativity rather than community within these walls.
