What Parents Are Saying
"Great school. My granddaughter has experienced tremendous growth and loves her teachers and friends. They have good safeguards in place so I am comfortable with her there."
"Because of the education [my son] received at The Malvern School, he was overly prepared for Moorestown Friends School. He‘s actually repeated some things he already learned in Pre-K and he’s reading on a first grade level. Enrolling him at Malvern was the best decision I ever made."
"The teachers are extremely loving and the School has such a different feel. It is definitely more of a school feel than those other daycares out there."
"A well-run school run by an amazing team of professionals and educators. My child's vocabulary and socialization skills have vastly improved and he's enjoying a full, well-rounded day of activities. I couldn't ask for anything more."
"We love how everyone at Malvern makes us feel so comfortable. Dropping our daughter off the first day was one of the hardest things my husband and I had to do…The teachers have all been so wonderful and have made the transition as easy as possible."
"Malvern School of Downingtown has been such a great stepping stone for our children prior to their entering elementary school…The teachers are not only educators (they are parents too!) and they genuinely care about our children. We have always felt so safe and reliable with the care they provide our children, and have been so happy with the life-long friendships that our family has made."
"I have three young children who all attend and love arriving at school each morning… Each day, I get a personalized email report from the teachers that my husband and I use to have discussions at dinner and learn more about their days… The attention and love that they receive each day does not go unnoticed. We love the directors and staff!"
"It is wonderful to know that [my daughters] spend their days with teachers that they love while getting an exceptional early childhood education. They can't wait to go to school in the mornings and come home happy!"
"Our daughter is blossoming into an intelligent, caring and friendly little girl with the help of the strong curriculum and incredible teachers at the Malvern School. We enjoy the daily updates and know that she is receiving the best care and attention."
"What makes Malvern unique are the teachers. They are phenomenal and go above and beyond what any other school will do"
What Teachers Are Saying
"What sets Malvern apart is the free choices we give the children. They always have a say in what we are doing."
"I think that the way our program strives to meet the needs of every individual child sets us apart. This includes our teachers writing their own curriculum plans based on the children in their class – likes, interests and developmental needs."
"My proudest moments were watching each of my children, now ages 15 and 12, graduate from The Malvern School. I knew from their first day through their last, they were given love, knowledge and many skills that would carry them to success in their future."
"After 14 years at Malvern, I have so many things that have made me feel proud! I’d have to say that parent feedback is a huge one. I love when parents come to me and tell me their child talks about me at home and says they love me."
"The program is excellent in part due to its ability to customize the learning for individual children and groups of children based on their developmental needs and interests. We are not boxed in by one idea or one philosophy and have the ability to take the latest research in early childhood education into account as we plan each day’s adventures."
"What sets Malvern apart is the fact that we are continuing to grow, change and develop our program so it remains such a high caliber program and continues to meet best practice for children."
"What I like about Malvern is how we incorporate character and values into the monthly themes."
"I love our program because it allows children to be creative as they learn! I also love that we as teachers get to participate in fun activities and events with the children and their families!"
"My proudest moments at The Malvern School occur every single day. They are the accomplishments of my little students. Watching them grow and turn into little independent children warms my heart like nothing else. I couldn’t be more thankful and proud of how far they have all come."
"I like that The Malvern School focuses on all different subjects in the curriculum because it provides something for every child’s interest and prepares all children– even infants- for their future in such a fun way!"
"I appreciate that The Malvern School has a family atmosphere. We have the opportunity to get to know not only the children, but their parents and siblings as well. It’s a pleasure to be their last stop before heading off to Kindergarten and to be able to reflect with their families on all of the milestones they celebrated with along the way- from their first steps to reading their first words."
"I love that our program has so many areas for every type of learner to grow. We are all certified teachers and I feel that truly shows here at The Malvern School."
