She has been most accommodating to his crazy schedule and always positive in reinforcing his progress. I have recommended friends to her and her colleagues, and all have been most satisfied. My son's new interest in playing the guitar he received from Santa will prompt us from taking lessons from one of Nadine's guitar instructors. Nadine's love of children and passion for music is a winning combination. I highly recommend her and her studio!!!

What a great resource for local residents. The Chester County Night School provides inexpensive,…read moreinteresting classes on diverse topics ranging from digital photography and creative writing to yoga and local history. I've personally taken several Polish language classes through the Night School. The instructor was great and you can't beat the cost - around $100 for 8 weeks. I've also enjoyed classes on the history of espionage and volleyball through the Night School. For adults who enjoy life-long learning, but aren't concerned with earning college credits, the courses offered by the Night School are perfect. No tests or grades - just the fun part of learning. This wannabe professional student is a fan.

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!

***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

My child has been going to this daycare since December of 2023 when she was roughly about 9 months…read more Back then, Ms. Marisol & Ms. Lorraine were GREAT! A short time after her first birthday I realized my child had developmental regression & sought out help through early intervention services who worked with her in daycare at this facility twice a week. She lacked in communication & also had some sensory issues which early intervention helped TREMENDOUSLY! Up until maybe a few months ago she started having some behavioral issues which her OT & ST were aware of & worked with the school tirelessly to come up with ways to help them HELP HER in the classroom but were blantantly ignored. Instead they chose to record my child which by the way is now only TWO, in instances where she may have been having a meltdown , not able to make her needs known or simply was having sensory issues that others couldn't understand & didn't try to. One of the ladies who works the front desk Christina referred me to another service which is like an IEP who can be present with my child everyday at school to help with her behaviors when her OT & ST aren't there. KEEP IN MIND, these services are not typically offered to 2 yrs old bc they normally work with kids 3 & up. They also would be able to give my child an officially autism diagnosis on eval. Well, yesterday 5/22/25 was my child's ST day & I read every note she writes when her sessions are done from 10am-11am. According to her my child had a great day! Spoke with her teachers about her behaviors throughout the week & was told she has been doing better with keeping her shoes on & instances of "scratching others." However, when I picked her up @ 4:30 I was told by Christina at the front desk that my child had two altercations with another child & "scratched them on the eye lid then scratched them on the side of the eye & in a nut shell tmrw is just going to have to be her last day." No prior meeting with me or even her ST/OT to discuss her behavior to say hey if it continues in a week or so I would need to start looking for other centers to send her to. Nothing in writing for me to sign her dismissal/termination. Just flat out she has to go. I've been getting the feeling they didn't want my child there & instead of doing it PROPERLY they did it EXTREMELY DISTASTEFUL & unprofessional. They also have high turnovers with staff & even have some employees who simply should NOT be working around small children! Ms. Chrissy was my child's main teacher this year & also the only teacher who seemed to understand my child's needs & also listened & learned her better by working with her ST & OT to implement their goals for my child in the classroom. I am also an LPN & work 7a-7p 3 days a week so I have to take my child to daycare by 6:30am those mornings. Usually Ms. Taryn & one other child is there that early but on a few occasions she was not & it was just Jon who is also married to Christina there watching that child. Again, my child can only say a few words & I NEVER felt comfortable leaving a little girl around a grown man unattended! I don't care if it's only for 5-10 mins while Ms. Taryn runs late or whatever the case may be it should NOT be allowed for everyone's safety! Marianne who also works the front desk is very rude & nasty! I hate to say it but it definitely feels as though race plays a big part in this daycare as there aren't many African American kids there. My experience in the beginning was great but over the last year has been terrible. I am a working mother of 2 & now have to seek alternative childcare because they literally just threw my child out with no warning. I am in the process of seeking legal action against them! Parents please don't let the "family owned & operated" slogan fool you. PLEASE be mindful when sending your little ones to these careless, money hungry people !!

I am thrilled to write a review to address and counter two negative reviews I just found while…read morerecommending Academic Access's services to yet more friends - after 100% of those that worked with Joan were as THRILLED as our family with their experience. Joan has a unique ability to develop separate authentic relationships with students and parents through her very genuine approach, straight-forward communication with a principled and effective approach honed by decades of experience. This also includes not shying away from having the difficult conversations not always easily received by children nor parents based on a wealth of experience and conducted with grace. The value of this unique skill can not be overstated and helps pave the way to a sometimes new and very necessary communication cadence within families as our children begin their journey to becoming truly independent adults. Academic Accesses approach is thoughtfully constructed with purposeful nuance in every facet of the work. I particularly love the essay writing team/writing muse/editorial process. It gave me the confidence to not dig into my children's essays which would have resulted in them being MY essays - a situation admissions departments see straight through. With two very different children their final products were radically different and both made me weep providing a different type of opportunity to truly "see" my children in all their glorious blossoming independent ways. Our entire experience was a gratefully received gift that not only resulted in both of our children being admitted ED to their first choice schools (both schools that we as parents recommended, but our kids wanted nothing to do with until they heard that Joan also enthusiastically recommended these schools from her own purview) but quite literally saved our sanity during a process that due to very normally teenage growth cadence is naturally a combative time between parents and children. I will forever be grateful to Joan and her team. I 100% recommend without reservation and would happily talk to anyone at anytime.

Academic Access was the perfect choice to help our daughter successfully chart a course and navigate these deep waters. From the beginning - Joan's familiarity with an enormous range of different schools helped our daughter to discover schools that checked all the boxes of things she wanted in a school, providing her with schools she'd not even considered. Throughout the process, Joan and her team were there every step of the way - providing guidance, instilling confidence, and helping our daughter find just the right unique and interesting essay information to share for a strong application and a positive outcome. The stress that comes with applications was minimized by having experts available whenever she had questions or needed help. The most valuable part (to me as a parent), was that the experts were also able to guide her without sounding like a "critical parent", thus keeping peace in our home throughout the process. Joan and her team kept our daughter on track with application deadlines, while keeping stress levels at a very comfortable level, and our daughter was accepted and now attends one of her top two choices. Since our experience with Academic Access, I have recommended Joan to at least 7 or 8 friends (I've lost count!) whose students have all had similar experiences with great outcomes! Thanks Joan! Working with you was one of the best decisions we've ever made.
