As the school invests essentially all their resources in high quality education and teacher support/ training and an unmatched outdoor classroom, they barely advertise or do any marketing. It gives the school a "hidden gem" vibe. The education my children get in the toddler program is phenomenal, and glancing at the Kindergarten work of the older students gets me so excited for the future. I observe my toddlers' language skills sky rocket, practical life and sense of discipline is incredible, and daily engagement with the school gardens and farm life is simply delightful. I've also seen work samples of the older student's math, writing, geography, art ... it's impressive! I'm an early childhood educator myself, and the authentic implementation of the Montessori curriculum at IMS West Chester is beyond anything I've observed at traditional & Montessori schools in Washington DC, Wilmington, DE, and another West Chester Montessori school. As an educator, it's very important to me that my kids go to a school where both lead and assistant teachers are happy, have opportunities for professional development, are well supported when inevitable challenges arise, and stick around from year to year. IMS West Chester checks all those boxes! And it shows through the genuine love and dedication the children receive from all teachers. The cherry on top is the annual art show! The curation of children's independent and class wide art projects are so beautiful, and truly show the value of learning over the final product.

Our son has been at CBA for almost 4 years.  We couldn't be happier with the staff, his development…read moreand the friendships we've made.  It's a wonderful preschool.  The staff is always friendly and responds to any questions promptly.  The teachers are great.  Our son will be finishing up with pre-kindergarten shortly and we can already see that he'll be well prepared to start kindergarten in the Fall.  CBA offers many extracurricular activities and has a lot of fun after class functions that parents/families can participate in.  I would recommend CBA to anyone in the area.  Our son was previously in another daycare in the area and CBA was miles ahead of them.  One last note, they provide snacks and lunches which is a huge benefit.  Our son enjoys mostly all of what they offer.

Mrs Sara, Liz, Caitlin, Mrs Susman, Mrs brin and so many more go over and beyond for the families of Chesterbrook Academy. Safety at Chesterbook is clearly a top priority for the children. I wholeheartedly recommend Chester brook Academy. I also couldn't be happier with the growth and care the children received here. I've seen the curriculum and attention provided at every level of the center, and I've been impressed every step of the way. The kids literally run into the center each day, excited to see their teachers and friends. The staff also does an amazing job preparing the children for Kindergarten. I truly see the staff as an extension of the family. I am so thankful to know them all.

This school will literally tell you to your face that your child is nothing but a number on a…read moreclipboard. This came from the owner Nihti's Mouth, to me. They will constantly send your kids home even though it's the entire class that's acting up. My son has full time aid's with him, & the aids witness the horrors in the classroom everyday. Celia has no backbone in the 3's classroom, she doesn't have any control over her class and as a result you won't be able to work because they will call you to get your kid because they can't handle it. Stephanie up in the front is amazing and I have nothing bad to say about her, but she went on maternity leave recently and as soon as she went on maternity leave, the owner Nihti started targeting my son. I spoke with Nihti in the office which is when she told me kids are a number on a clipboard there. She is completely and totally only in this business for the money. And it shows. Her BEST staff Miss Ashley recently left around the same time Stephanie went on maternity leave. Because of their lack of GOOD staff, they will kick your kids out of their school. They've been open for a year and Nihti told me she's had to let go of multiple families. Tell me you don't care about the kids without telling me you don't care about the kids. They've also don't care about their staff at all. Stay FAR FAR away from this place. They also don't teach the kids ANYTHING. The classrooms are zoo's.

Every teacher is committed to providing exceptional care, protection, and education to their students. The administration is deeply invested in ensuring the welfare of both children and staff. Their curriculum and planning for each age group is great, and helps students at every age learn valuable, practical skills as well as introducing education fundamentals. Throughout my time here, I had many opportunities to leverage my skills and discover new creative outlets within my lessons. They value and appreciate their staff, making sure they are being supported throughout their day. I would highly recommend Celebree School of Exton as a great school to entrust your child's care and education, as well as a wonderful workplace for educators/childcare workers.

Dilworthtown Christian Preschool of BUMC is a wonderful preschool! Upon moving here from Florida,…read morewe had overwhelming choices of where to send our children to preschool. The moment I met with the director, Karen, I knew both my children and I would love the school. The curriculum is age appropriate yet challenging enough to prepare preschoolers for the demands of Kindergarten. The school is small enough, I feel that I have really gotten to know all the teachers and other families. My children really enjoy the enrichment programs- soccer, karate, art, yoga and making music. I can't recommend Dilworthtown enough!

We have been very impressed with how they teach the kids, and what the kids have learned. The school is safe, very clean, and the owner is on-sight everyday. The other two directors in charge are also there everyday, and do a wonderful job of meeting the needs of the children and staff. The sanitation process (staff wearing gloves to distribute food) was already in order, and we are extremely pleased with current procedures during this different time. The children learn through play, and are taught community skills, such as raising their hand to speak and to make good choices. We are so impressed with how the teachers make responsibility fun. I would recommend this school.

I cannot stress enough how wonderful the Malvern location is now, and it's due to Steve and Barbara's leadership.

He has been so loved and nurtured from his very first day. I am truly at peace knowing that his day will be filled with excitement, learning, love and friendship.

I went from thinking that no one would be good enough to care for my child while I worked, to thinking that I could ONLY trust Victory (apart from family) with my child's life and well-being. Even if I moved further away I would make the trek to send him to Victory. I just love this school.
