***DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE**** I don't post things like…read morethis lightly, but I feel a responsibility to share our experience in case it helps another child or family. Chesterbrook Academy - Newtown Square has been the worst childcare experience of my 13 years as a mom. In our experience, the environment was cold, harsh, and deeply unsettling. When children are sad or crying, they are placed in a so-called "cuddle corner" and intentionally ignored--no one is allowed to speak to or comfort them until they stop crying. Teachers follow a strict "no response" approach, meaning kids who are screaming, throwing, or clearly distressed are simply ignored. The level of rudeness, judgment, and lack of warmth from staff has honestly left me bewildered. My child came home crying many days, saying the teachers yelled at them--and I personally witnessed teachers yelling at children right in front of me. Leaving your child in someone else's care is already incredibly hard. You expect compassion, patience, and basic emotional safety. That was not our experience here. I can't speak to other Chesterbrook locations, but Chesterbrook Academy in Newtown Square is one I would strongly urge parents to avoid. If sharing this helps even one child have a safer, more loving experience elsewhere, it's worth it

Oh how quickly this place went downhill after the previous principal left. If your child does not…read moremeet their standards, there are teachers who will verbally judge and criticize your family. Severe lack in communication (no reports for injury, no pickup ID confirmation for non registered adults, etc). Management is struggling, and they cannot keep their teachers around for more than a certain amount of time. Just so sad and disappointed.

We chose Collegium Charter School not because it is big or flashy, but because it is human…read more In a world where education can feel rushed and crowded, Collegium feels intentional. Small. Seen. Our girls are not a number moving through hallways, but a name, a face, a personality that teachers recognize and care about. That matters more than any statistic. We were drawn to the sense of community. The classrooms feel personal, the relationships feel genuine, and the learning feels grounded. There is room here for curiosity, for growth, for mistakes, and for encouragement. Our child is supported not just academically, but as a whole person. Collegium reminds us that education is not about being the biggest or the loudest. It is about connection, consistency, and care. We chose this school because it feels like a place where children are known, valued, and given the space to become who they are meant to be. Sometimes small is not a limitation. Sometimes small is exactly where the heart is.

We have experienced several daycares in the area and NOTHING compares to Primrose. When we first…read morecame across Primrose, we were in love at first sight. However, it is more than just the clean, new building and toys-the people in the school are what sold us and they continue to impress us everyday. We know that when we have to go to work, and our little ones go to Primrose that they are in the best care. Everyday they are learning, having fun and they are loved! I have a child in Preschool Pathways and in their infant room and all the teachers are exceptional. The Executive Director and Associate Director are super involved and hold everyone on the staff to a high standard. The owners and entire team at Primrose genuinely cares about the families and the care they provide.

We have not…read moreexperienced any staff turnover during our time here - the teachers are so warm and friendly, my daughter instantly smiles when she gets into the classroom, and we get updates (via an app) all day with her feeding/sleeping schedule and diaper changes. She has really developed so much since starting and we are beyond pleased. I have had experiences with 4 different schools in the past as we moved a lot with my first son, and Primrose is certainly at the top of the list in regards to cleanliness, level of care, attention and learning curriculum. Their food menu is so diverse, too and you can tell a lot goes into the planning of it. We would absolutely recommend this school.

Our son had been attending their school since birth. We felt like they were family and had worked…read morewith us and us with them. Our son started having some behavior issues at first we were told it was a phase. Even our family doctor thought it was a normal development phase. When the Daycare finally told us they felt his behavior wasn't a phase and needed professional help we started the process to get him an assessed and behavioral help from professionals. Literally the day we informed him that he had been approved for, and would be getting assistance they kicked him out because they felt he was a safety risk. however curiously during that phone conversation where we were telling them he was approved the admin stated that if the assistance was full wrap around coverage then it wasn't good enough (note wrap around is only for 2.5 hours a day and only given if the rarest of situations.) The professionals that had assessed him in their school was stunned when we informed them and literally put in writing she didn't believe he was a safety risk at all. We even tried talking to the teacher and she just told us she couldn't get involved. There was no meetings, no conversations, no warnings, there was no documentation to prove their claim. there was just a letter in his folder that day saying as of that Friday he was no longer allowed to attend. this was on a Wednesday He literally cried all night and then everyday for the next couple weeks when he couldn't go back and see his friends. We have struggled since then because he just wants to go back and doesn't want anything to do with his new daycare and it has made working on his issues even more difficult. Even now several months later we are still stunned and confused. And why we still don't know because the administrator of the site and the owner have refused to communicate with us in any fashion.

I have been to a dozen different day cares in Delaware County and by far all of the Step by Step…read moreLearning Centers are far superior than the others I have inspected. They offer: college educated teachers, they have four stars with the Keystone Stars Program, they use creative curriculum at its highest level incorporating field trips and guest speakers in various occupations who come and speak to the children. This isn't your typical Child Care Center. This is an Academy that develops brilliant children. My children never want to leave and I am always impressed with what they have learned each day. Whether your child is 6 weeks old or 13 years old there is plenty of activities to keep their minds occupied. Don't waste your time going to other Day Cares, Step by Step is the place for intelligent minds and caring teachers and their rates are very reasonable.

Our 3.5 year old son transitioned to this Goddard School from another major chain in West Chester,…read morePA. Our reasons for reevaluating his situation were many, including the birth of our second son. We sought a better opportunity enrich our sons lives at this critical stage with experiences and learning opportunities at a place that felt more structured, safe, clean, and genuinely had the best interest of the children/students in everything they did. Jennifer (the owner) is involved, detail oriented, attentive and communicative. The teachers and staff are friendly, present, and clearly care. The use of email and general technology (e.g. Tadpole) to amplify the communication is effective and keeps things transparent. The activities and interactions our son has had in just the first few weeks have opened up new windows for his curiosity and intellect. The shift in our older son's demeanor was immediately evident. We wholeheartedly recommend this school.
