About the Provider
The curriculum is designed to meet or exceed the standards established by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the nation’s largest early childhood accrediting organization. Programs that meet NAEYC’s standards of excellence provide an environment with a focus on health and safety, have teachers who are well trained, have access to excellent teaching materials, and work with curriculum that is appropriately challenging and developmentally sound to provide high quality education for children in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We are making every effort for all of The Malvern Schools to achieve NAEYC accreditation.
To satisfy a child’s curiosity and need for adventure, we have created two age-appropriate, custom designed rooms where your child will have daily unlimited opportunities to see, touch and do through hands on learning stations. The learning stations focus on sensory exploration, arts and crafts, reading, manipulative play and dramatic play. Our Fascination Station is a favorite among our First Step and Toddler children, and the Discovery Room is a special place for our Get Set through After School students. When you walk into these rooms, you will see children thinking, learning, listening, experimenting, drawing, building, creating, laughing and especially smiling.
