The Malvern School of Washington Twp.

My son attended Malvern School from 4 months until he was almost 3 years old. The teachers and directors are wonderful and caring. As a first time mom I often looked to them for advice and guidance and they were always helpful. I felt safe leaving my son in their care and he loved his experience. They truly go above and beyond for the kids.

Frustrating is when you have your child in the class, he loves his teacher and then after a short time the teacher leaves. My child was SO upset after finding out that his teacher gone. I spoke to some of the other parents. This seems to be a common theme of this school. So many teachers leaving! I am pulling my child out ASAP!

The school itself is colorful and inviting. The outside play area is safe with newer equipment. Most importantly, the staff is friendly, happy, affectionate, and professional. My daughter loved her time at this school. Bonus - they communicate electronically, so you don't go home juggling a handful of flyers every day.

I first toured the Malvern School of Washington Township on a friend's recommendation.  She selected the school after touring a number of preschools in the area and assured me that the Malvern School was the best.  While I initially enrolled my then 2-year-old daughter due, in large part, to a friend's recommendation and the appeal of a NAEYC accreditation, those are not the reasons she is still there 2 years later.  My daughter LOVES her teachers and I know, without a doubt, that they love her, too.  They love her as an individual on her best and very worst days. When she is struggling to say goodbye in the morning, I know she has many welcoming arms to jump into in my absence.  Her teachers and aids, not just those in her classroom, but all of them, know her and care about her.  They have even expressed an interest in me as an individual and are so warm and supportive in the morning that it eases the tension of the morning rush.  Additionally, as a teacher myself, I have been humbled by the quality of my daughter's lessons and the speed with which she is acquiring new information and skills.  Her teachers challenge her with content I would have assumed was too advanced for a 4-year-old, but she loves it and thrives.  I am certain that she would not be as academically prepared as she is now had she remained with a nanny.  The social skills and increased rigor posed by a class of other children is something you cannot replicate in the home.  I am SO glad I made the switch from in-home care to the Malvern School. Although we still have one more year there, I am already thinking about the day my daughter will graduate to kindergarten and the heartbreak we will both feel when our Malvern days end.  I cannot recommend it enough.
