We chose Malvern when our son was one and he stayed until he left for kindergarten.  We were very happy with the care that our son received at Malvern.  The school is very high quality.  The facility is modern and was always clean.  The outdoor play facility was very nice.  They always accommodated us when we needed to change something.  If I had an issue or concern, it was easy to discuss with management.   Our son was confident and happy at Malvern.  It was a great decision and we were very pleased.

This Malvern in Medford is an excellent school! My daughter has been going to this school since April 2015 and she LOVES IT. All of the teachers have been wonderful. They genuinely care about the children and that makes all the difference. She looks forward to going everyday. She loves her teachers and has made some great friends. We couldn't have been happier with our decision to place her in Malvern. We are very sad to have to leave due to a job relocation. We will miss everyone, but we were able to find another Malvern. I am sure we will have a positive experience there as well. Thank you all so much for the wonderful jobs you do with our children.

My son has been going to the Malvern School of Medford since he was 11 months old. He started out in the infant room with Ms. Phyllis and Ms. Alex and we fell in love! As he has grown over the years each room that he has been in has been a wonderful experience. I am a very hands on Mommy like most others and I like the fact that I can call in when I need to and check on him and each teacher works with you to bring the best out in your child. Thank you!

My daughter has been going to Malvern approx 2-3days a week since she was 3 months old. My husband and I are very picky, detail oriented and have pretty high expectations of the caregivers for our child. Uniformly, Malvern has met them throughout all the years (almost 4) that she has been there. She learns a lot and the day is filled with activities. The staff is always welcoming and friendly and everyone seems to know her name, even teachers she has not yet had. As of late, she’s asked to go to school over being with me, but I guess that’s a lot better than having a tantrum or tears on school days. — she does have about 60 seconds of separation anxiety when I am about leave and the teachers and aides quickly tune in to this and hold her to make my/ my husband’s departure easier on her. (Thank you!)
— One more thing, I noticed one negative comment below. In our experience, the administrative staff has always been very accommodating when it has come to my occasionally chaotic schedule and they also accommodated us when she was having a hard time adjusting to the next level/grade without her slightly younger friend (which helped enormously). I have never felt that the staff was not responsive to my/our needs.
Finally, I have to say how impressed I am by the cleanliness. Shortly before Sept, staff was scrubbing the walls/baseboards and the stairwells with disinfectant wipes. — in addition to the usual cleaning. The bathrooms are also clean, which is saying a lot for a classroom filled with toddlers.
Other than not wanting our time at Malvern to end, (due to her getting older and starting school), the only thing I would want added would be more formal foreign language instruction, German and Spanish would be great. ??maybe for after school component? This last item is pure wishful thinking, but maybe something corporate would consider for the future...
In sum, a great school and worth every penny. We are thrilled that we found Malvern School at Medford.
