Schools in West Chester, PA

“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 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 BEST school in the area! Our two year old son just started in the Toddler classroom in June for summer camp and he loves it. The teachers and admin staff are so thoughtful and kind. They really take the time to get to know your child, and cater their experience so they can feel comfortable in the classroom. Thanks Goddard staff! :)”

“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???????”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“UMCC is an incredibly nurturing environment with staff that is dedicated to the care and education of its children. You can send your children there from birth until pre-k and feel confident they will develop the skills they need both academically and social/emotionally before they enter kindergarten. Our children have had a wonderful experience and come home excited each day to tell us what they learned.”

“This Y is incredible and amazing place for kids and adults. They bring a sense of community and Gary is GOAT there. We just celebrated a pool party and that went off seamless. The staff were so helpful, responsive and made her day really special. Thanks a million Y, I truly appreciate it from our family, Lamplughs.”
