Our time at IMS Paoli was absolutely wonderful. Miss Susan is wonderfully caring teacher, clearly…read morewell versed in Montessori methods. It is completely evident she adores the students and cares deeply about what motivates them and how to best teach each one. The campus is lovely and has chickens, ducks, and a large garden. The children learn to garden, and how to process honey. They learn academics and practical life. Anytime I have dropped by to pick up my daughter, the room is quiet but busy with all the kids deeply buried in their work. Miss Ginny and Miss Raji are also amazing coordinators.

We've entrusted IMS Paoli with our son since he was only 17 months old. As a team, they've done…read moremore than foster his growth; they've coached me and my husband as first-time parents through every single regression and pivotal growth phase. The teachers taught us how to nurture his inquisitive mind and properly support his needs. We couldn't have potty-trained him without their guidance. My son is now 4 and has flourished into such an independent, social, and happy little boy. He comes home, hangs up his own clothes, puts away his shoes, sets the table, and helps with laundry and dishes. They taught us how to most effectively deal with the very few times he had tantrums at home. He wakes up in the morning, picks out his own outfit for the day, brushes his own teeth, prepares his own breakfast (banana or pre-cut fruit from the fridge), asks questions about why the world works, can sit and play independently for hours, and will come to me and tell me, "Mommy, I need a hug." "I need some attention." "I need your help in ____, ___, ___" whenever his needs aren't met. Mixed-age classrooms were also incredibly helpful at this developmental age. The older kids teach the younger ones how to become more independent, and now that my son is one of the older children; he has been so patient with the younger kids and babies, teaching them what he was taught. If I could give this school 10 stars, I would!

We love Berwyn Montessori. Our children love going here and they learn so much whenever they do…read more Mary is wonderful and focuses on skills that are lost in our public school system today like cursive hand writing which is so good for hand strength. The children are fascinated by all of the different Montessori work and come home happy everyday they attend. I couldn't be happier with our choice of going here.

I have been at Berwyn Montessori for over 10 years with two children attending. Before coming to…read moreBerwyn I looked at 17 alternatives and sat in the classrooms of all of them for an extended period prior to selecting Berwyn Montessori. My experience is that Mrs. Shultz is the ultimate caregiver and her team are exceptional. They taught my children how to approach life, how to learn, and always ensured their safety. My first child had ADHD challenges and was dyslexic and brilliant (145 IQ), my second child was legally blind. Both are doing incredible in school and life due to Berwyn. They learned math, reading, writing, social studies, biology, and cursive, and advanced in social skills and manners beyond their peers. Each did better throughout grade school because of the foundation this institution provided. I can truly say neither child would be as successful as they are today without the care and guidance she provided. They celebrate and respect the cultural differences between families (mine is Hispanic) and learn the customs of Chinese New Year, Divalli and Yom Kippur. My 16-year-old still reaches out to her for direction and advice. My 11-year-old still asks to go to her summer camp over other potentially more exciting camp options. The children design and pick their graduation performances (speeches, songs, and dances) themselves and learn to speak in front of others and express their individuality and their views. They make their own pinatas and cakes for all of the parties. We have attended every graduation since 2009 except one and all were safe, fun, family activities. Mrs. Schultz has always put our family first, has never shown any political bias to our kids, and brings the kind of experience of child development that you cannot find in any of the big-box institutions. Her safety so far exceeds the standard and your child will be a well-behaved, self-aware, deeply educated member of our society. You will not find this elsewhere.

I love this place!!! We picked it for our 2 year old because they were NAEYC accredited and we have…read moreheard so many wonderful things about them! They have amazing staff, a wonderful director, and a clean school. For parents there are lot's of ways to get involved so you feel like you are part of the school which is a community. There is an amazing indoor playground downstairs so even if it's raining the kids can burn off energy indoors. They also have a wonderful Nature Discovery Center outside where they grow pumpkins and play in a cute little house. If you are looking for a nursery school in the Berwyn/Devon/Wayne area, this is it!!!

Preschool in the Valley is a wonderful school operating within Great Valley Presbyterian Church…read more They have AM & PM classes.

Our son has been at CBA for almost 4 years.  We couldn't be happier with the staff, his development…read moreand the friendships we've made.  It's a wonderful preschool.  The staff is always friendly and responds to any questions promptly.  The teachers are great.  Our son will be finishing up with pre-kindergarten shortly and we can already see that he'll be well prepared to start kindergarten in the Fall.  CBA offers many extracurricular activities and has a lot of fun after class functions that parents/families can participate in.  I would recommend CBA to anyone in the area.  Our son was previously in another daycare in the area and CBA was miles ahead of them.  One last note, they provide snacks and lunches which is a huge benefit.  Our son enjoys mostly all of what they offer.

I highly recommend Chesterbrook Academy! The environment is…read morealways clean, the classrooms are well-organized, and the teachers and staff are truly professional. Mrs Sara, Liz, Caitlin, Mrs Susman, Mrs brin and so many more go over and beyond for the families of Chesterbrook Academy. Safety at Chesterbook is clearly a top priority for the children. I wholeheartedly recommend Chester brook Academy. I also couldn't be happier with the growth and care the children received here. I've seen the curriculum and attention provided at every level of the center, and I've been impressed every step of the way. The kids literally run into the center each day, excited to see their teachers and friends. The staff also does an amazing job preparing the children for Kindergarten. I truly see the staff as an extension of the family. I am so thankful to know them all.
