My kids have been going for the past 4 years and we were overall happy with it until this year…read more I noticed it's gone downhill. My daughter was especially not happy because the other campers in her group were not friendly with her, and even told her that they didn't want to be friends. she felt isolated and tried to get help from the other counselors, but they were not interested. I spoke to the director in detail as well, and asked if she could speak to the girls and see what's going on. Kids need to learn compassion and be inclusive, and it should be the counselor and directors job to make sure all the kids are happy. She did absolutely nothing. It was very upsetting that I paid so much money for this camp, but the admin didnt care about the kids at all. I also sent multiple messages and left voicemails, and Never got a response about this. My kids will never go back to this camp again.

I wanted to like this school but the staff is very unfriendly and rude to parents. When they need…read morechildren to fill the school, they will be nice as can be. But as soon as kids are enrolled, they are too good for everyone and can't even return simple e-mails. Not the environment I want my children growing up in.

The Malvern School has been a welcoming change after the horrible experience we had at Chesterbrook…read moreAcademy in Chadds Ford. The staff at Malvern are warm and friendly. They follow the STEAM curriculum and are NAEYC certified, which is a huge plus! The teachers are professional and caring and my kids come home every day happy and excited to go back again. The school is set in the woods and the kids get lots of outdoor time. They get to go on nature hikes and explore. An added bonus is that they offer the day camp right next door so they attend daycare during the year and then head to camp in the summer. Can't recommend highly enough!

***DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE**** I don't post things like…read morethis lightly, but I feel a responsibility to share our experience in case it helps another child or family. Chesterbrook Academy - Newtown Square has been the worst childcare experience of my 13 years as a mom. In our experience, the environment was cold, harsh, and deeply unsettling. When children are sad or crying, they are placed in a so-called "cuddle corner" and intentionally ignored--no one is allowed to speak to or comfort them until they stop crying. Teachers follow a strict "no response" approach, meaning kids who are screaming, throwing, or clearly distressed are simply ignored. The level of rudeness, judgment, and lack of warmth from staff has honestly left me bewildered. My child came home crying many days, saying the teachers yelled at them--and I personally witnessed teachers yelling at children right in front of me. Leaving your child in someone else's care is already incredibly hard. You expect compassion, patience, and basic emotional safety. That was not our experience here. I can't speak to other Chesterbrook locations, but Chesterbrook Academy in Newtown Square is one I would strongly urge parents to avoid. If sharing this helps even one child have a safer, more loving experience elsewhere, it's worth it

Oh how quickly this place went downhill after the previous principal left. If your child does not…read moremeet their standards, there are teachers who will verbally judge and criticize your family.

We were looking for a place to take the kids on a really cold day. Most of the indoor playgrounds…read morerequire a timed appointment, but this place didn't so we decided to give it a try. First of all, I think the price is a bit high for the little it includes. I think it was $12 per kid (adults free) but all that gets you is access to the climbing/slide area. You have to buy a card for all the games, rides and other activities. However, it was nice to let our kids run around for a bit, although of course they didn't want to spend time in the climbing area when there were games and other attractions all around. One other nice thing is you can leave and come back all day long. We choose to grab lunch elsewhere and come back for some more fun. Don't think I would be back but happy it was available when we needed somewhere to go!

There were other attractions but I didn't make note although I do recall that there was a basketball court and free standing gaming consoles. What I liked most is that there are private areas to gather in. Also, I did try the pizza, wings and fries - they weren't anything special but they were good... My favorite part of the experience was the customer service - every associate that I interacted with was friendly, professional and most importantly, helpful!
