What Parents Are Saying
"There is such a sense of community at The Malvern School. The teachers work really well together and that translates to kids who are very happy and well-adjusted."
"I looked around at lots of schools and I just think The Malvern School has so much more to offer. You can’t put a price on staff, and I really feel that the staff at The Malvern School are very ‘real’ – they genuinely care about the children."
"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."
"With caring and dedicated teaching professionals, and an age appropriate curriculum for young children, The Malvern School has done wonders for our child."
"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."
"We've been with [The Malvern School] in Frazer since our daughter was almost 4 months…[Our daughter is] happy and well cared for and I'm certain that we have chosen the best place for her at this stage."
"As a teacher myself, I can say that The Malvern School offers a progressive education in a loving, nurturing environment. They really have their hands on the pulse of what is good in pre-school education."
"The Malvern School’s reputation is great which was important to us because it was our first child we were sending to preschool. And when you look at all the factors – care and education, reputation, activities and programs, The Malvern School was the best choice."
"I have seen amazing growth in [our daughter’s] development since transitioning her from a nanny in our home. She loves going to "school" and I'm constantly amazed at the quantity and variety of activities and experiences they have each day."
"My son has been attending the Malvern School since he was three months old starting in the infant room and is currently transitioning to the one year/two year old room… I could not be any happier with how smooth the transition went and how great all the teachers are at the Malvern school. My son is very happy there and I can tell he is very well cared for."
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."
