Schools near Glen Mills, PA

“We absolutely have loved Primrose for our daughter! She started in the young infant room and now is in their two year old class and the leaps and bounds she has made never cease to amaze us. Our favorite part about the school is the teachers—every single one we have had we loved. Without a doubt, I know the teachers are skilled, kind, and fun. One of the hardest parts of being a parent dropping your kid at daycare is concern that they won’t be cared for in a way that you’d care for them yourself, we have never once had that concern at Primrose. Every day we know our daughter is safe, loved, comfortable, cared for, learning, and having fun. There is not much more a parent could ask for in a daycare setting. Beyond her assigned classroom teachers, it seems like every single employee at the school knows my daughter’s name and a little something about her. At the end of the day I have full confidence that we have set our daughter on a path to success socially, physically, emotionally, and academically. Primrose has been worth every penny and we are so happy with our choice.”

“Battling Bulls Pride!! ?
Went there 2003-2004 and don't regret it at all!
Living by rules and "laws" shouldn't be that hard!

I love this school! ?

For real, fellas and former peers, I know about those getting physical constraints and "beating" by staff though! Peers, get yourself straight! Nobody wanted to punch you or do you harm at all!
You all know that!
I know all of your units, staff and the Organisation!

It's a great opportunity to get yourself straight, up tight and foword in your life!!! ??”

“They are the best! I always had my dilemma in sending my kid to a daycare but it’s been such a pleasant experience with TLE. My kiddo is always so happy and calm when she comes back home and is doing so great in learning the essential life skills like eating by herself, and playing. She tells all the stories about friends and teacher. I love how diligent the teachers are in clicking wonderful pics and jotting down care details in the app, which is so assuring. Thank you TLE for such an awesome program and kind teachers!”

“We’ve sent all 3 of our kids here, and love it! Teachers are warm and kind, curriculum is thorough, administration is thoughtful, and their provision of food and diapers really makes our life easier. They go above and beyond with special events, food nights, and special days for the kids!”

“As a Montessori teacher with over 10 years of experience, I was fortunate to support one of the pre-K classrooms at The Learning Experience Preschool in Exton for approximately 6 months, where I observed practices that align with early childhood education principles by fostering cognitive, social, and emotional growth in a balanced and developmentally appropriate way. The staff are highly experienced, with many serving for over 10 years, providing the consistency and secure relationships children need for healthy attachment and learning. The curriculum thoughtfully integrates play, academics, and social-emotional development, while the structure, routines, and sense of order embedded in their program and environment further support the development of logical thinking. Importantly, teachers collaborate closely with families to reinforce continuity between school and home — a key factor in supporting lasting developmental progress. This preschool exemplifies best practices in early childhood education and is a model of how nurturing environments can support the whole child — highly recommended”

“We have sent all three of our boys to this Goddard location, and we continue to have a great experience. Even after moving further away, we decided it was worth the extra drive to keep our youngest here. Our oldest has now moved on to elementary school, and we feel he was perfectly set up for success thanks to his time here. Excellent school and wonderful staff!”

“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! ?”

“The children welcomes you,as well as the employees. It's small and diverse, just what my husband and I were looking for. All of the teacher's have degrees. And more than half of them have been there for several years. Oh did I forget to mention their early hours and how they are a 5 Star Program .”

“West Chester Playschool has been an absolute blessing for our family! The director is incredible—she communicates so well and makes sure parents always feel in the loop. The teachers are so attentive, patient, and truly invested in each child’s growth. My son has been here for the last three years, and I can confidently say it was the best decision I could have made as a working mom. Knowing he’s in such a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment every day has given me peace of mind and him the happiest preschool experience. I can’t recommend this school enough???????”

“After our daughter did poorly at another daycare, my wife found Goddard of Malvern. We decided to move her to Goddard and have never looked back. She adapted on the very first day, and we recommend Goddard to everyone we meet for the excellent teachers and organized and effective management.”

“Our children have been attending Goddard since 2021 and we could not be happier. Anna and Joanne are fantastic managers who are passionate about providing the best learning experience for your child. The teachers are dedicated to guiding your child's development. My kids are constantly coming home having learned something new, from vocabulary to counting to writing, they are maturing each day. Over the years my children have been lucky enough to have great teachers, such as Miss Tristan and Miss Tiffany. They embody what you hope for in a teacher. Loving, intelligent and truly care about helping your child learn and grow.

Because of the people at Goddard I know that when the time comes, my children will be prepared to succeed when they move along to Kindergarten.

These years are so important in the development of a child. I'm thrilled that they will have spent theirs at Goddard.”

“We had a wonderful experience at The Goddard School of Newtown Square! Both our daughter and son attended over the past 4 years, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they received. The teachers and staff were warm, attentive, and truly invested in our kids' growth. Not only did they learn so much, but they also developed strong social skills and made great friendships. We're incredibly grateful for the positive, nurturing environment that helped set such a strong foundation for both of them.”

“Our son started at The Goddard School in Exton when he was just 2 years old, and now, as he heads off to kindergarten, we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible foundation this school has given him. From day one, we were impressed with the warmth, professionalism, and dedication of the teachers and administrators. It was clear they genuinely cared about our child’s development, both academically and emotionally.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity and foster a love of learning. Over the years, we watched our son grow into a confident, inquisitive, and enthusiastic learner – and that is entirely thanks to the amazing staff at Goddard. He has learned so much, and we have no doubt that he’s more than ready for kindergarten because of the preparation he received here.

In a world where you often hear unsettling stories about childcare, we always felt completely at ease knowing our son was in safe, capable, and caring hands. The communication was always clear, the environment was nurturing, and the sense of community was strong.

We’re incredibly thankful for everything The Goddard School in Exton has done for our family. It’s more than just a daycare or preschool – it’s a place where children are truly seen, supported, and inspired. We couldn’t recommend it more highly! Thank you Melissa, Kathy, Elita and all of the teachers that have helped, loved and supported our son. We are forever grateful!!!”

“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.”

“We have a great daycare here at the learning center. I have been with the center for almost two years. The teachers are loving and show our childern how to love their firends and there is so much more they can offer your child. Please check them out.”

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with the International Montessori School. The teachers are warm, attentive, and truly dedicated to each child’s growth. The schedule is thoughtfully designed to cover the full workday, which has been a huge help for our family.

One of the standout features is the emphasis on outdoor learning and nature—our child comes home excited about what they explored outside. The classrooms are beautiful, clean, and incredibly well-organized, creating a calm and inspiring environment for learning.

We also really appreciate the school’s commitment to parent engagement. Communication is clear and consistent, and we always feel welcome to be part of the learning journey.”

“Some of the staff here are amazing and genuinely care for the children so deeply it’s very comforting as a parent!!! Ms Debbie in the infant room is an angel on earth. Ms Kim in toddlers is so sweet and I know my child is in good hands. Ms Julia, who bounces all around the daycare, is such a kind hearted soul that cares for everyone around her! Siobhan is such a friendly, welcoming face in the center as well. Those are just a few teachers that have made an impact on my children’s care and education in the best way! Sam, the former assistant director, is deeply missed and her dedication should be acknowledged as well because she’s helped me so much with advocating for my autistic child.”

“Our experience with Lightbridge Academy has been truly wonderful. From the very beginning, we’ve felt confident in our decision. The building is always clean, well-organized, and secure, which gives us great peace of mind each day. The staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring — it’s clear that they truly love what they do.
We’ve seen so much growth in our daughter, especially in her confidence and independence. She has become more talkative, more self-assured, and so proud of the things she learns and creates. She comes home happy every day, which means everything to us as parents.
We’re especially grateful for Ms. Salma and the positive impact she has had. Her care, patience, and dedication truly stand out, and we feel so fortunate to have had her as part of our daughter’s experience.
We highly recommend Lightbridge Academy to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for their child.”

“Our little one has attended here for about 6 months and we could not be happier. The director Kathy is always there to greet us in the morning and makes it feel like home. The center is very clean, the staff are amazing, and our baby is always happy and feels so loved. We are truly grateful for the care they provide.”

“My son Oliver has been going here since he was a baby, now 5 and off to school next year. I want to take the time and thank every teacher/staff in his journey here in becoming a young man.

I’ve never had an issue, easy to work with, clean and communicate very well. The curriculum is well balanced for each class. They always have activities and parties that I personally love to attend and see him interact with his peers.

Oliver is currently in Trionas class and he has nothing but great things to say about her. I absolutely love knowing he’s in good hands while I’m at work. I don’t have to ask about his day, Triona is personable and detailed. Excellent preparation for Elementary school next year.

The rest of the staff is on par and always pleasant to speak with if I have any concerns or questions. Thank you!”

“I simply love the sincerity and love for Jesus that Richard displays, i love the worship. I love the sermons and i will miss Marcia. I hopee the discernment committee might look for another woman for our staff!”

“I gave a 4 star due to tuition. For an establishment that cost $374/weekly full time 3.5/4year old, I'd expect rates to be listed in the packet. However tuition was presented to me on a sticky note like a deal on a movie at the end of the tour and there was no list or documentation of rates. I've sent my children to private institutions in the past and they all have tuition rates listed online. If rates are not presented online they are in their welcome packet. That may be okay for some parents. Now if a parent recieves Childcare assistance the child could attend paying as low as $100 weekly from what I was told. I get it, it's business you have to be exclusive with rates while being inclusive and able to compensate the staff.If you're okay with that rate and the presentation of tuition, I'd recommend. I felt it would be a good fit for my daughter. My daughter and I toured the school and the tour went well. I can't remember the woman's name she was not the director. She was very welcoming, down to earth, knowledgeable with all questions and concerns. All of the staff/ teachers that we encountered were engaged with the children and lunch smelled good that day. They have a nice playground area for the children, the curriculum pressented seemed to meet my expectations. The classrooms were very bright, they are very tech saavy which is nice.”

“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.”

“As a first-time daycare mom with a 1-year-old, I was very nervous about this transition, but the new director Lakeisha Brown has been amazing. She really took the time to listen to my concerns and made thoughtful changes, including placing my daughter in a new classroom with a teacher who better fits her needs.

Since then, I’ve seen such a positive difference in my daughter, and it gives me peace of mind knowing she’s in a caring and supportive environment. Communication has been great, and I truly appreciate the attention and effort put into making sure my child is comfortable and safe.

I highly recommend this daycare, especially for parents who are new to the experience!”

“Trinity has been an incredible fit for our family. The class sizes are smaller than many other daycares in the area, which provides a more personal and family oriented feel to the facility. The teachers truly care about each child and take the time to help them grow and reach their milestones. They offer many activities for the children to help expand their interests and skills.”

“As a mom, I really struggle with having to work while my kids are so little, but this center — especially the directors and teachers — makes it so much easier. My kids absolutely love their teachers and their days at school, and they’re even upset with me when I pick them up too early!

Not only that, but the staff genuinely care about my kids, and I know they are supported both educationally and emotionally. The teachers have adapted to my child’s needs and learning style, and we’ve seen them really grow and thrive — especially in the 3s and Pre-K rooms with Ms. Katie and Ms. Betsy!

The updates and pictures the teachers post throughout the day on the app are wonderful and only reinforce how happy my kids are there.”

“We enrolled our three young children into Willowdale and since then our kids have excelled beyond our expectations. The teachers are amazing and really focus on developing the children's learning capabilities and that is extremely important to us. Enrollment was simple and the cost was very reasonable (especially for three kids). We would absolutely recommend Willowdale.”
