I toured Chesterbrook Academy in the early spring of this year with Lisa, the director. Once I saw…read morethe building and met the staff, the plan was to send both of my children there for summer camp. Then everything shut down due to COVID. I really liked that the school communicated with me often about plans for reopening. Summer camp did not go as originally planned but my kids never said that they were bored or didn't have a fun summer experience. After summer camp my 5 year old was able to stay for kindergarten. In the last month since kindergarten started his vocabulary has grown so much. I get daily, weekly, and monthly communications about what is going on. Because of COVID restrictions I can not physically enter the building but I feel very much connected to his school. My only regret is that I did not send him to Chesterbrook sooner!

My two high school students who graduated from RCA have received honors every year at the private high schools they attend. The teachers encourage and nuture the students giving them a true love of learning. The teachers are amazing in their ability to really see the students as individuals, to get to know them and to help them to see their own potential. My faith is important to me and RCA teaches the children to value themselves and others for who they are: children of God. Finally the school community supports each other in our shared goal of raising good and decent children who will positively influence the world around them. Regina Coeli Academy is a school that feels like a family.

New Goshenhoppen Nursery School proves to be one of the best nursery school programs around in my…read moreeyes. My son has been in schooling since the age of two, finishing his pre- schooling in the Pre-k class at NGHNS. He was in a small class, allowing for a lot of individual attention; I felt that the teachers truly learned who he was, how he learned, and had a strong relationship with him. The price is extremely reasonable for the three day a week program. The teachers are genuine, they care about your children, and they have plenty of help between teachers, aids and assistants to ensure no child is left behind. They do a good amount of field trips, programs, and activities always allowing for parents to tag along and be involved. They have optional bible study, so wether you choose to have a nonreligious upbringing or to have religion introduced to your child on an understandable level for them, they leave it up to you to make that choice. They have a before school luncheon program that also allows the kids to learn to eat together and learn to be socially respectable in similar situations. The children learn a lot from numbers, letters, and the basics of addition and learning to read. The pre-k program truly prepares them for Kindergarten. I highly recommend New Goshenhoppen Nusery School!

My husband and I (and our daughter) are so grateful for this school. The administrators, staff, and…read moreteachers are all excellent. Not only are the teachers highly trained, qualified, career educators; every staff and administrative member here seems highly qualified and committed to creating a positive, educational environment. The curriculum and resources are wonderful, and the space (particularly the renovated rooms) beautiful. They offer flexible schedules with many different options for working parents or those that just want their child to benefit from the Montessori mornings. We really appreciate the fact that they foster, teach, practice, and celebrate diversity. One of our favorite events was the school's International Dinner. The outdoor space is great, and they have art, tumble tots, and music programs weekly, special events for the kids throughout the year (such as animal visits, ballet shows, music performances), in addition to the Montessori program and the after-care options (which features a lot of creative play, cooking, and play spaces that are updated with new themes monthly). I strongly believe that any childcare setting should make you feel happy whenever you walk in- and that is the case for us. I love walking in to Bala House. To be honest, I was actually very worried and unsure about starting my daughter in a Montessori school. I had never had this experience and from the outside the teaching model seemed a little cold and isolating. Also, my daughter has a ton of energy and I was worried she'd be too wild to sit nicely on a little mat "doing her work." And I was worried about the class size- 24 kids seemed like a lot. But, I was surprised to find that despite being on the young end, she sits and focuses on her projects. She seems to enjoy the opportunity to choose activities for herself, and she gets tons of interactions with other kids, in a mixed-age setting (she loves the older kids!) She's made a ton of friends and is learning so much- socially, emotionally, and academically. And- many days she begs me for more time at pick-up, which I take as the most important stamp of approval ;) I also have to note what a great experience this has been for us as parents, to have this community. When we moved here from out of state last summer, not only did my daughter quickly, happily, and easily transition into the summer camp program (a great way to transition in, by the way- although they also have "phasing in" days for new students to help with this process) - but we also had an instant network. It was easy to make friends through the school's many events and parent's association. It is a community I'm enormously grateful for. Finally, I have to give a shout out to Miss Adiya. We love you! :-)

I feel I have finally found a place in Delaware County that truly cares about children, is mature in how they deal with parents, are open and honest plus do their best daily for the well being of the child/children. I would recommend any child from infancy until older to go here. All locations seem to pride themselves on doing the best they can for children. I promise you will not find any better daycare in Delaware County compared to them. In all situations talk to your children and watch them.

5.0 star rating 3/16/2014…read more First to Review I have been to a dozen different day cares in Delaware County and by far all of the Step by Step Learning 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

My daughter is four, and the other night we were sitting down at the kitchen table writing her list of favorite Christmas songs and saying words in Spanish. I feel so blessed that my daughter is able to learn here every day!

I literally called them myself every few months on several occasions only to be told that we were "several down" on the waiting list each time. We paid the waitlist fee in August of 2021, and in late 2022, I got an email notification (out of nowhere) that we had been removed from the waitlist. By that time, luckily, we had already enrolled at The Goddard School, but thank God we weren't depending on the Malvern school, and thank God we had somewhere else to put our daughter. I had such a bad experience with them during the initial waitlist process that I'm sure we're better off not enrolling my daughter there anyway, since communication obviously isn't a priority for them. They currently have a sign up that says "Enroll now for Fall", which is laughable. More like "Enroll now and you might hear from us in 2 years, or maybe not at all, but we'll gladly take your money anyway." Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. The Malvern School location in Malvern had a child abuse lawsuit filed against them, so I don't trust the entire Malvern franchise or any of their locations now, period.
