Schools near Skippack, PA

“For any parent looking at schools within the last year or so, this is the school you want to look at or evaluate. We have been a part of Castle and looked at other local schools, which used to be good, but something has happened that made them start to go downhill with their staff and not really recover. Goddard treats their staff well above average both in pay, benefits, and extras, which clearly shows....because the big thing about Goddard: Everyone is so happy. The staff, the kids, even the parents doing pickup/drop off. Especially for preschool, that is so much more important for your child vs can they identify 10 other national flags. Also this facility is incredibly accommodating for anyone with special needs.This Goddard may have been a close second or tied for 1st 5 years ago, but they are clearly number 1 now. The newly renovated play areas are great as well!”

“I highly recommend The Goddard School of Collegeville for their Kindergarten program. That is the only year that our daughter attended, so I can’t speak to the other classrooms (although I would suspect they are just as good!) Mrs. Hagy & Mr. Frangoulis are the absolute best. My daughter started at Goddard in Kindergarten, so many of the students had already been together for a few years, but the welcoming atmosphere of everyone from the front desk, the owners, the teachers and classmates (and their families!) made her feel right at home. There was not a single day that she didn’t want to go to school. She learned so much. Aside from the basics, she learned about various cultures, how to play chess, several different music genres, how to be a good friend and citizen. They pack a lot into their days and she came away from The Goddard School with so much more than the day she entered and we are so sad that her time there is now done.”

“My boys have been attending Goddard of Royersford since they were in the Infant Room! I feel safe dropping them off, knowing they are comforted and treated with love and care throughout their day! I highly recommend this school! The teachers, directors, and owners are welcoming and easy to talk too! My Boys have made numerous friends and have learned so much! They will be entering into PreK and Prek Prep this Fall and we are looking forward to a great school year!”

“My son loves it. He’s been going for years. No frills—don’t expect hourly updates or video footage. Reasonable rates. Willing to accommodate for schedule changes. Pre-K curriculum is on point.”

“We have been sending our daughter here since the last few months and we have seen a positive change in her, the teachers were very sweet and caring towards our daughter and gave her time to adjust. Everyone in the staff have been great, especially Miss Becky and Miss Sam have been amazing with our daughter. We look forward to sending our daughter here for the foreseeable future.”

“Goddard School of Blue Bell (202) – A Truly Special Place

I highly recommend this preschool — it has stood the test of time for our family. Fourteen years ago, we enrolled our daughter here and found a nurturing environment filled with stability, compassion, care, and meaningful learning. Director Melissa Flowers, along with teachers Melissa and Marley, made a lasting impact on her early education. From the very beginning, they provided incredible support and understanding, especially recognizing the anxiety and uncertainty that young mothers and families often feel during those first steps into early childhood education.

Twelve years later, when we needed a daycare for our twin boys, Goddard of Blue Bell was the first place that came to mind. I didn’t hesitate for a moment. To my surprise and delight, the same strong leadership was still in place, and Director Melissa Flowers , and both teachers Melissa and Marley were still there, ready to make my sons' preschool journey just as joyful and enriching. It’s hard to believe that now, they’re already preparing to graduate this May.

We’ve also been so impressed with newer staff like Mrs. Sandy, who brings creativity and excitement into the classroom — teaching concepts like metamorphosis and grammar through playful, hands-on activities. Since Mr. Michael became the new owner, we've noticed many thoughtful and innovative improvements — from an emphasis on healthy snacks to facility upgrades, enriching programs, summer camp, and fun visiting guests. School events and holidays have become even more engaging. For example, this past Halloween included a festive parade, decorated trunks, and fun games that the kids absolutely loved.

For our family, the Goddard School of Blue Bell is more than a school — it’s a warm, welcoming, and consistent part of our children’s lives. Even after all these years, our daughter still feels the same cozy, joyful atmosphere when she walks the halls to pick up her little brothers. That lasting impression says it all.”

“We absolutely love Magic Memories and could not recommend it enough! Our daughter joined as a toddler and we noticed a difference in her verbal and fine motor skills shortly after joining. She always is excited to go to school and comes home happy! I never have to worry about her at school because I know she is in great hands. All the teachers here are truly amazing.”

“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!”

“My daughter is only 9 months old and has been coming to this school for about four months. She absolutely loves it here in her class. She is loved on, she has fun and the teachers are wonderful. You can tell they take great pride in their job and love on the babies like they are their own. They are on top of schedules, communication and affection. I couldn’t imagine another place to take her. Knowing she is comfortable and I am at ease while I work. The management team to the teachers make you feel welcomed and cared for like family. I would highly highly recommend this school to you and your family. You would not be disappointed! It’s like a second home here!”

“Miss Joan's Little School is truly exceptional. The teachers are not only true early childhood professionals, they are kind and caring. Each and every staff member is deeply dedicated to creating a warm and welcoming family-like atmosphere and truly wants the best for each student.

My child has thrived in this environment, experiencing significant educational growth and development during their time here. I wholeheartedly recommend this preschool to any parent who is searching for a nurturing and enriching environment for their young child.

MJLS is simply THE BEST.”

“The experience at Primrose in Royersford has been great for my Olivyah. Very Professional, Friendly, Welcoming and Nurturing. Everything that a parent needs to know and feel that your child is in great hands. Thank you Royersford for taking such good care. XO”

“La Petite is a home away from home for our son. The teachers and Miss Katie (school director) work tirelessly to provide children a loving and safe environment. Our son has been enrolled here for the last 2 years and we are beyond grateful for all the effort that is made to help him feel included and supported.
As a mother I feel blessed to have teachers who are involved with children and are aware of every small detail. Our son loves pancakes and his teachers sometimes save his breakfast pancakes for lunch. It’s small things like these which show how much everyone at this school cares.”

“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!”

“We are very happy with Magic Memories. They provide a ton of learning activities and our children see to be thriving. We get updates on them throughout the day on how they are doing.”

“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.”

“Incredible experience. Foster care friendly. Teachers and staff seem to care. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks provided. And always mix of food so the kiddos try different things. Overall very pleased with our decision here”

“My kids currently attend the half day kindergarten and before and after care here at COA. Ms. Holly has been amazing in teaching them skills in leadership, respect, math and reading skills that when they went into kindergarten they were more than school ready. Now all my son does is walks around with a book everywhere he goes and my daughter uses big words and is able to explain the meaning of them. SO happy with this center.”

“We've had a positive experience at Bright Horizons and would recommend to others! The Director and teachers do a great job communicating with parents and go above and beyond for the children. I love receiving updates throughout the day and seeing that my son is learning new skills.”

“My son has been going to Twin Acres for a little over a year now.
When we first got here, the school was a bit of a mess. There was a lot of teacher turnover and some days I didn't even know what room my kiddo was going to be in. The curriculum was nearly non-existent, and you could never go by the posted calendar because it was ever changing. The old director was nice, but you could tell that the staff was just not happy.
When the school was switching over to a new director, the owner stepped in to fill the role for a few months so they could find the perfect director. The owner is extremely friendly and is amazing with all of the kids and parents!
Now that the new director, Kassie, has taken over, the school has turned around, and it is one of the very best in the area.
Since Kassie has been the director, there has been nearly zero turnover, the teachers are visibly so much happier, and the staff is on the ball 100% of the time. I know all of the teachers now, and my son has created so many memories with all of them. Each classroom has a schedule and a curriculum during the school year, and the summer program has fun trips and activities planned all summer long.
There is even a pool on site for the kiddos to use, and a lifeguard certified teacher is always on duty!
Kassie was the director at my first son's daycare many moons ago (Our House Early Learning Center in Pottstown), along with her right hand, Sarah, as one of the main teachers. Our House was one of the only schools that I ever fully trusted with my kiddos, so I was ecstatic when I heard that both Kassie and Sarah were making the move to Twin Acres.
I cannot say enough good things about all of the staff here. They are loving, caring, and have all taught my son so much.
They are extremely accommodating to all situations (like when my son broke his leg and could not walk for 4 weeks) and they treat the kids like their very own.
Special shout out to my son's current teacher, Kiersten, you are so organized with the pre-k and summer programs, and you go above and beyond for the kiddos. From spending your own time and money to make the classroom adorable, to coming up with special art projects for all the holidays, and so so much more. We see you and we appreciate you so much!
If you're looking for a great, family owned, loving school, Twin Acres is it!”

“We have our son here and he started out at HLC at just 5 months old. He is our first, and we were nervous! When we toured, Kristen, the director, was so kind and helpful. We felt welcomed right away and ultimately decided this was a loving and nurturing environment for our son. His teachers are so kind, and we love the daily updates! Highly recommend!”

“We chose to be waitlisted with Cadence for 18m during my pregnancy and my maternity leave in hopes of securing a spot for the following year, (initially based on location). And we are so glad we did! Our experiences so far have been wonderful- the teachers and staff are so friendly and they always have smiling, welcoming faces for our little one. Even her non-classroom teachers know her, which puts us at so much comfort and ease that any adult figure she comes in contact with, is familiar to her. In addition to the caring and nurturing atmosphere, Ellen and her team also put so much time and effort into making the Cadence experience a true community outreach which we also appreciate: fundraising for St. Jude’s, it’s summer campers, inviting families in for special days, etc. All the extra care, time, energy, and constant communication/photos, and updated newsletters exuding from Cadence does not go unnoticed.”

“Little Sprouts is incredible. My daughter has gone to the Sumneytown location for the past year and a half and my wife and I could not be happier that we were lucky enough to end up at Little Sprouts. The office staff (Jessica, Destiny and team) are amazing - friendly, kind, and incredibly helpful. They are always there to greet us in the morning and to answer any questions we have via the app, email, or in person. The teachers are just as amazing. Our daughter has been in two of the classrooms and has had Marianne, Lauren, Gwen, and Liz as teachers, plus all the other teachers that help in various classrooms throughout the day. I don't know if we'll ever be able to thank them enough for the way they've cared for our daughter. She has truly learned so much from her teachers, done such cool art projects, and had so much fun. Finally, Jess K in enrollment is incredible and is the reason we came to Little Sprouts in the first place. We can't thank her enough for finding space for our daughter when we first moved to North Wales. I could go on and on about this place but it really is a wonderful daycare and we highly recommend it because we've had a really awesome experience. Thanks Little Sprouts”

“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”

“I’ve been bringing my kids to this daycare since February 2025, and I couldn’t be happier. The entire team is absolutely amazing — caring, patient, and dedicated. They create such a warm and safe environment where my children feel loved and excited to go every day. I truly appreciate the attention they give to each child and the great communication with parents. Thank you for all that you do”

“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.”
