“Lightbridge is amazing! My son has been there since he was 16 weeks old. He loves each and every teacher/staff member there. We are all treated like family! Olivia and Will (Director and Owner) are both very involved in every family's lives and genuinely care!”

“Absolutely unbelievable school. Very clean and expertly run organization. For 4 years I listened to the horror stories of my sister’s day care woes. This place is open in all bad weather, my child may have had to be picked up MAYBE 3 times over 4 years. They internally problem solve and try not to interrupt the parent’s day at all costs. Maybe the best part is they provide lunch and snacks for the kids. NO PACKING LUNCHES!! Just drop off your kiddos and roll. The parents got enough to do, thank you Learning Experience, it has been an absolute pleasure working and playing with you. If any one is considering other local schools, just stop looking and sign up here. You won’t be disappointed. Special thank you to Mr Langston and Miss Chrissy. Hope we cross paths again!”

“We've been a Goddard family for seven years. Both of our girls began attending as infants, and now our oldest is about to graduate from the before and after program as she heads into 3rd grade. I could not imagine a better place for our children to grow and learn. The caregivers and educators at The Goddard School of Swedesboro provide an incredibly nurturing environment that fosters learning and development. Our older daughter entered Kindergarten having already mastered the curriculum. Now, she continues to score in the top 2% on standardized tests. We know that part of that success is because of the early education introduced at Goddard with their "learn and play" mentality. We're seeing the same trend in our second child as she nears elementary age. Knowing that our children receive this level of care on a daily basis , not to mention a focus on their education, is such a wonderful assurance.”

“Administration, teachers, and staff are all very friendly and professional. The rooms are very clean with plenty of room providing the children with healthy learning environment. The food provided to the children and the playgrounds are great for keeping them active and healthy. When the weather isn't conducive with going outside, the gymnasium has plenty of space for the kids to run around and do activities. We thoroughly enjoy the after school activities like their science day, and the fun holiday activities.”

“I can’t praise this place enough. My two boys have grown so much, and that’s because of the deeply talented and loving staff. Miss Jenn, Alaysia, Brittney, Ally, Nino…absolutely fabulous educators and human beings. They work so dang hard to ensure my boys thrive and feel loved — and you can’t ever put a price on that. I wish my boys could stay here K-12.”

“All of our children have been to Goddard Newtown Square and, having tried a few daycares with our first child, Goddard is the best and we wouldn’t want to take our children anywhere else. It is a safe, clean, fun and loving environment. The teachers and administrators are the best- always willing to listen and help anyway they can to ensure our children have the best experience.”

“This is our second year at amazing grace!! I have preschool age and one started with kindergarten. My kids grew a relationship with their classmates as well as their teachers ?‍? My youngest even had a bond with his brothers teacher as well❤️They have gone above and beyond for my children to make them feel right at home!!! They love to tell me and show me everyday what they have learned, but I also receive daily reports on a application they use which is amazing and spoiling me for sure? If you saw how happy all these children are every time I pull in the parking lot you would not hesitate to send ur children or recommend!!”

“My entire family enjoys the JCC! They have an excellent Early Childhood Center, a large state of the art fitness center, indoor pool, sauna, hottub and group exercise classes. Summers at the J are the best - big outdoor pool with live music every Wednesday. A wonderful place to make friends and be part of a community.”

“I’ve been meaning to write this review, but clearly time has gotten away from me? We just wanted to Thank You all for the many years that both my daughters have been with you all at The Goddard School! Thank you for having such a caring and nurturing environment for them to learn in. It was such a positive experience for all and they have learned so much! Both of my daughters were very prepared for kindergarten! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we are so sad to have “aged out” of the Goddard school, but will always be a part of the Goddard family! Hugs to you all! ?”

“There are no words when it comes to my appreciation for this school and staff. We knew we wanted to send our son Jackson to a good environment but were blown away at how amazing it was for him. He has excelled in his speech, OT and over all behavior thanks to the services Goddard allowed him to receive while attending school there. We are going to miss the teachers so much when he graduates but will be sending our 2 young girls there in the future. You won’t be disappointed with your tour, the facility is clean , friendly and allows children to thrive the way they are suppose to ! We love You Goddard xo”

“I have had the best experience with Logan Kinder Care, all of the teachers and the director made the adjustment and transition for my son into childcare so easy and comfortable. My son is learning so much and is so happy. I get numerous updates all throughout the day from pictures, to food, sleep & potty updates. I have zero complaints and 100% recommend!”

“The teachers at the Goddard School of Chadds Ford are terrific. We feel confident that our daughter is learning every day, comes home happy, and developing at her age.”

“The school is well run. The staff is incredible and very involved. They know all of the kids by name whether or not they are in their class. When I drop my kids off in the morning they are greeted as if they’re being dropped off at a relatives house. It’s heart warming. They also offer additional after school activities and manage to strike a nice balance between teaching the kids and showing them a great time.”

“We have had our son enrolled at SNT since he was almost 4 months old in 2018. We took him out for about a year for COVID but other than that, he's been there the whole time and we LOVE it! 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!”

“Archmere Academy is an amazing college prep high school. The challenging curriculum, supportive staff and amazing facilities are a gift to all who attend this school. Available financial aid helped make attending this school a reality for me. Such an amazing place.”

“It’s been 10 years since I graduate field street (2011) this is my childhood school really miss my old days going to this school every mornings as a kid ? now I’m in college crazy time flies by so quickly :,)”

“Kindercare thornbury was the only KinderCare in the tristate area who was willing to get my daughter Nina regestered and enrolled as soon as possible.I went on 7 tours in the local area and even tho KinderCare thornbury is a 30 min drive it’s well worth it. When my daughter Nina and I went to do a tour I was extremely impressed with how welcoming everybody apart of mrs aliyahs (director of the facility) team was . I noticed a few things immediately as I entered , the cleanliness of the entire place was varsity and every person I came in contact with was more than kind. As soon as I walked in my daughter Nina’s reaction was different then at each previous KinderCare we visited that day, she actually wanted to be put down so she could explore and interact with the other children there . She played with the students in the toddler class while the director Aliyah showed me around . The second thing I noticed was the team work amongst all the teachers and staff, As I watched teachers transition to different classrooms, prepare snacks and etc. I couldn’t help but notice howHappy and content all the students were. Finally the third and obvious thing I noticed was the how orginaized the facility was . Mrs Aliyah’s team at KinderCare thornbury not only work together .. but each staff member is child focused and it was clear each staff member took pride in there work. I personally think infant and pre school employees along with any other early childhood development teachers/ councilors/directors etc should get paid like doctors. If there’s anytime at all to have a good teacher it’s ages 0-3. Those first three years are the mostImportant years of a human life . As a whole I think people lost touch with how important and necessary it is to have good teachers/councilors/directors when there children are at such a young age .5 stars . 5 stars . 5 stars . Extremely great full for KinderCare thornbury and the strides and improvements my daughter has made there. There is no better feeling in the world then being able to drop your child off at daycare and just know that they are 100 percent in good hands . Words can’t describe how great full I am for everyone at KinderCare thornbury . I recognize the HUGE role everyone at KinderCare thornbury has in my daughters life and early childhood development.. and I wouldn’t have it any other way . 5 stars”

“I love this facility and staff! My family recently relocated to Charlotte, NC and we were so sad to leave our daycare home. Below is the letter I wrote to the Westtown Kindercare Director during our last week together:Lorraine,I want to thank you for taking such great care of Mason over the past 15 months.My mother-in-law had taken care of Finnley as a baby so this has been my first experience with a daycare facility. I was sick to my stomach when Mason was a newborn and I was touring local facilities; I just wanted him home with me or with his grandparents. Westtown Kindercare was the first facility where I didn't want to cry during my tour. I told my husband that I wanted Mason to go to Kindercare and we would figure out the cost somehow; which we did!In InfantA, Miss Becky and Miss Katie took such great care of him and I felt I could trust them to keep him safe and secure during the day. Then Covid hit and he stayed home with me for 5 months or so and we all struggled to acclimate him again to the daycare routine. I knew he was in good hands with his new teachers (Miss Holly and Miss Tina) and with you and Miss Karen. You even allowed him to bring his blankie to school and I laugh everytime I see his pictures on the Kindercare App with his blankie in tow (he looks like Linus!)Mason has been thriving over the past few months and I see him building new skills and growing in confidence everyday. He is happy to go to school and this has been such a relief to me and my "mom guilt". My favorite part of my day is watching him walk out of his classroom at the end of the day with Miss Patty or with that young man who works in the evenings; my heart explodes when I see him hustling to me at the door with his lunch box and blankie!I know I told you this in the past but I recommend Westtown Kindercare to everyone in the area with little kids.Please thank your staff for me! We will miss you all and can only hope to find another daycare home like yours in our new town in NC.”

“My experience continues to be great! My son is learning and is happy! We know that he is safe and cared for while we are at work. The administrative staff and teachers are very helpful!”

“The West Chester YMCA is fabulous!The facility is huge and very well maintained. The class instructors are knowledgeable, helpful and caring.I attend the aqua classes both in the shallow pool with Leslie S. as well as in the deep water pool with Kevin C.They are amazing instructors in every way! My husband enjoys exercising in the E-gym. The cost of membership is negligible compared to all they offer.And one more endearing fact: the staff cares very much about helping the community by having such things as food drives and raising money to provide exercise services for those that are unable ordinarily afford going there.”

“As a family new to the center and nervous about leaving our baby, Crystal and Asia have made us feel right at home. Any questions we have are answered incredibly quickly. Ms. Dawn and Ms. Tae have been so welcoming during our first week too. We are so glad we found a place at KinderCare Brookhaven.”

“Our daughter has been attending daycare here for 2 years. We absolutely love it. The staff loves her as though she is one of their own. She loves going to play with her friends. She is always happy at drop off so much so that so that doesn't even say bye. At pickup she is always smiling. We would highly recommend!!”
