“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!”

“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!”

“I’ve discovered the ideal place to spend my retirement, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with my choice. The Collegeville Goddard School has not only met but exceeded my expectations in every way. Making the decision to transfer here ranks among the best I've ever made; this workplace is truly remarkable. It offers an inspiring environment that I genuinely cherish, and each day, I look forward to coming to work with enthusiasm.”

“MGS is the best! My son is 3 and has been attending since he was an infant. The teachers are caring, knowledgeable, creative and do so much for the kids. They provide updates throughout the day through an app so you can see what your child is doing. Communication has been great. We're very happy with our experience!”

“We've been part of the TLE family since January 2021, and the experience has been nothing short of fantastic. Our journey began in the infant room, and now, over four years later, our firstborn has graduated from preschool and is headed to kindergarten.
Every step of the way, the teachers and staff have gone above and beyond. The care, attention, and love they show to each child is unmatched. Special shoutout to Miss Holly and Miss Vivi in the preschool room—these two pour their hearts into everything they do. It’s clear how deeply they care for their students, and it has made such a positive impact on our child’s growth and confidence.

As a parent, peace of mind is everything—and I can honestly say I never have to worry when my kids are at TLE. Thank you for providing such a nurturing and supportive environment. We’re so grateful to be part of this community!”

“I came in as an outside vendor to do music presentations for the whole school, and I have to say, it was a great experience. I did a few different presentations with different age groups, and I love coming to schools where all the teachers are engaged and really keep the kids involved. You can tell the school is super clean and well cared for. The people running the school were super friendly and easy to communicate with. I go into a lot of different schools, and I highly recommend this one.”

“I just finished the Bench with Through Tenon Joinery class at 1st Avenue Woodworking. The class gave me a great introduction to mortise and tenon joinery and a lot of tips on proper use of hand and power tools. Ed and Randy were fantastic teachers and created a fun and supportive learning environment. I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to expand their woodworking knowledge and capabilities.”

“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! ?”

“My family and I recently started our fostering 3 siblings. We toured the Phoenixville facility and were impressed with the friendliness and knowledge of the staff, especially in terms of the foster system and the individualized needs of foster kiddos. The director (Santia) has been nothing short of amazing in terms of her communication with us and her collaboration on the needs of the kids. All 3 of our foster children love attending Kindercare. They are eager to go each day and we appreciate the balance of learning and fun. Thank you to all staff! Our family appreciates you.”

“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.”

“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???????”

“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!!!”

“I am the class of 2015 I loved this plecs it was the best year of my life I would go back in time to do it again I would tell all my friends but now I am 14 in VA no in pa anymore”

“Our daughter started at Great Valley KinderCare 7 months ago and has thrived since the very first day. The director, teachers and staff are all so welcoming. They take the time to get to know each family and we have peace of mind that they genuinely care about the children and their wellbeing. It’s been our greatest joy watching our daughter play, learn and develop into a smart and curious toddler and that’s in large part due to the wonderful people at Great Valley.”

“We’ve been with Goddard for over 6 years — first with our oldest for 5 years, and now our youngest for nearly 3 — and it truly feels like an extension of our family.

From day one, it was clear that Goddard isn’t just a place where kids are “watched.” It’s a place where they’re nurtured, supported, and celebrated. The teachers care deeply — from how they comfort a child to how they tailor learning based on each child’s personality and needs.

The curriculum is thoughtful and covers all areas of early childhood development. Over the years, we’ve watched both our kids come home proud of what they've learned, the friends they have made and excited to share stories.

They’re responsive to emails, follow hygiene and safety protocols (which is very important to us given one of our child has allergies), and communicate clearly (and provide honest feedback). They say what they’ll do, and they do what they say — with care and intention.”

“Both of my boys attend Goddard KOP and I feel so incredibly fortunate to send them to a place where I know they are going to be loved and cared for each day. The staff and teachers are fantastic, and am amazed each day at the new things my almost 3yo is learning.”

“Jillian and her entire team are truly wonderful! My daughters have been there for four years and we have had an excellent experience. They really know and understand each child and take great care of them, nurturing their growth and confidence. At this point, they feel like family! There are too many wonderful points to list but to highlight a few :
*The level of communication is unmatched. They keep me posted on every detail of their day and their wellbeing, and are always available if there is anything I need to discuss.
*They are accommodating and flexible with schedules. Last year they heard that we had a sudden death in our immediate family and they reached out to me that afternoon to offer condolences and suggest bringing the girls the next day even though they weren’t scheduled for it so we could focus on making arrangements.
* The staff. Jillian is the director and very involved in the day to day. Many of the teachers have been there a long time, know every child (not just their class), and provide a loving & fun environment. We have had multiple teachers over the years as my girls moved up in age, and have not had one complaint about anyone there. They are all exceptional!
I could go on and on but ultimately, I trust them immensely and highly recommend this Kindercare location. They make it easy to be a full time working parent knowing that my girls are learning and growing in the best possible care.”

“As the name suggests, Golf Galaxy is the best store in the area for everything golf. This is a great store for golf enthusiasts and also for those who like to play golf for some fun and much needed relaxation and entertainment. The store has a putting area to try out different putters. They have a great selection of men’s and women’s golf apparel. You can buy your golf clubs here and also get them customized. Very well laid out and organized store. Their staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Plenty of parking is available. Anyone who likes golf should check out this store”

“Our daughter has been attending The Goddard School for about the past three or four years, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcome and cared for—not just as parents, but as part of a true community. The teachers are warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about helping each child grow.
We’ve been consistently impressed with the variety of activities that keep our child engaged and excited to learn. Safety is always a priority, which gives us peace of mind every day, and their open, thoughtful communication keeps us connected to our child’s day-to-day progress.

After the past couple years, we can say without hesitation that The Goddard School has been a wonderful place for our child to learn, play, and thrive. Thank you for all you do.”

“If you're looking for an individualized, caring experience for your child, this is the ideal place. The teachers and staff are so friendly and welcoming and know how to make kids feel loved. We've had such a great experience with the KPrep class at Bright Horizons and Ms. Cortney was amazing. Also Ms. Dana and Ms. Ellie went above and beyond to ensure our son had a memorable experience based on love, understanding and effective learning. We highly recommend the Bright Horizons at Collegeville.”

“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.”

“My daughter just started in the infant room. This center is by far the best center I’ve been to. From the teachers, to the director to staff throughout the building everyone is so friendly, kind and nice. I knew two minutes into my tour this was our second home. My daughter loves it and is beyond happy and smiling all day! The infant teachers take such great care of her and communicate excellent. The director is so sweet, caring and professional! As a mom who had a horrible experience else where, I’m so happy we have found our saving grace here at Kiddie Academy! You will not regret it, if you make this your second home for your kiddos! They will be loved, taking care of safe! Highly highly recommend!!!!”

“My Girls have been enrolled at Hansell Child Care for several years, The staff here are one of a kind. My kids love coming here, and the staff make them feel welcomed. The staff goes above and beyond for the children and make them feel safe. My youngest daughter started out as an infant and has learned so much.”

“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.”
