“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 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.”

“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 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.”

“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.”

“My son has been in and out of 3 daycares in Delaware county throughout his toddler years and I thought that I’d just have to homeschool him due to the nature and neglect of all the places we have been … until I toured Just Kids. I am beyond grateful for the staff here and how I see them nurture all the children. My five-year-old used to cry during the mornings we were getting ready for school, now that he’s at Just Kids every single day that he wakes up even on weekends he is excited to go back.”

“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.”

“ABC land was one of the best decisions we’ve made to start our daughter’s education journey. She has learned so how and have grown emotionally and academically because of the hard work the teachers and staff put into preparing the children for the future! The love that the teachers and staff pour out on a daily basis is in fact genuine, they care about the children. ABC land exceeded our expectations and will forever hold a special place in our hearts and my daughter heart as well !”

“The Early Leaning Center at Kaiserman JCC is hands down a wonderful place for preK. Our 3 year old daughter gets lots of love here from the very attentive staff. The facility has both indoor and outdoor activities. Not to mention the outdoor swimming pool and 4 playgrounds. The classrooms are spaces and well stocked with learning opportunities. The director Amy and assistant director Natalie are super supportive. Our third grader spent 2 plus years prior too.”

“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.”

“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”

“The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, located at Hagy’s Mill Road, is a verdant oasis in Philadelphia. As one of the first urban environmental education centers in the country, it sprawls across 340 acres of diverse habitats. Here, visitors can explore fields, forests, ponds, and streams, using nature as a living laboratory to foster appreciation and stewardship of the environment. With interactive exhibits, an art gallery, and over three miles of hiking trails, the Schuylkill Center is a vibrant hub for learning, conservation, and connecting with the natural world.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“My daughter and I are grateful for this daycare. Especially Anderia, Tyesha, and Breonna are great teachers. My daughter is happy to see them. She runs to these ladies everyday to give them hugs. They always make me feel comfortable being at work away from my daughter as they communicate with me through out the day. Someone referred here to me from their grandchild coming here and I boast about this place all the time. Thanks guys!”

“The staff there are incredible ❤️❤️❤️ they send updates throughout the day of my children and the activities. Gives me a big reassurance my child is safe and learning new things !! My 3 kids love it there !! I appreciate how the staff goes above and beyond for the students and parents”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 daughter has gone to Kinder Care at Renaissance since she was 5 months old and she absolutely loves it. All the teachers are fantastic especially those (Ms. Sarah, Ms. Catherine, Ms. Alex, Ms. Suzan, Ms. Claire, Ms. Regina) that have cared for our daughter. As you can see it takes a village. They do a great job of keeping the kids engaged and the parents informed. Our daughter has thrived and is developing wonderfully. We are so thankful we made the choice to entrust this great staff with our princess. Definitely recommend!”

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.

Clean, orderly, ever-changing space and building with no corner cuts ever on quality of any kind. My daughter loves going there to play with friends and see the staff, which is a huge indication in itself!”

“As a parent and educator, I am beyond pleased and ecstatic to share with everyone my experiences over the last 8 years with Changing Lanes Learning Center in Norwood and Aldan, Pa. The owner, director and teacher, Dr. Naomi Pereira-Lane has been there every step of the way. Not only is she an advocate for her students and families, but her staff. Her staff are supported by her and follow through with the mission of the school. She supports families with resources, tips to help struggling parents, self-care for the families and staff so we are all successful within our educational and personal goals.Changing Lanes Learning Center provided an enriched learning environment for my three girls (12, 6 and 4 years of age). To know what a quality education setting is and having one available to foster my children growth and educational development has been a blessing. I have recommended this school to many people personally and professionally. I have referred students and families I have serviced in the regular and early intervention circuit.If you need a quality educational school for your child(ren) it is not a struggle anymore to know this hidden gem can be found in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.”
