My husband and I have been very happy with the Malvern school of Malvern so far! Our child started in the infant room and thrived. She loves going to “school” every day and seeing her friends and teachers. The teachers are very loving and wonderful people who really care about their classes. I can’t say enough great things about the directors as well! You can tell Ms Jen and Ms Amy are very involved with the staff and students. Overall, I would highly recommend this Malvern school!

The Malvern School has been a wonderful experience for my son. Their program is engaging but fun, allowing kids to have some flexibility in the way they learn. They have been able to adapt the environment for children who need some extra "hands-on" assistance for either educational or behavioral reasons, allowing each student to really get the help they need to grow and develop. In addition, the staff is great and you can drop off your child each morning knowing that they will receive love and affection!

The best school around - and believe me, because I have tried a few. We moved out here over a year ago and didn't have a good sense of the daycare options. We tried a Montessori school, we tried Walden - this is the best option. Caring, thoughtful, fun, loving, educational, place to make friends in a safe environment. I am so thankful we found Malvern School of Malvern

This school treats their staff terribly. They place too many students in each class room, to a point where the ratios are very unsafe and there is a huge chance that the teachers cannot adequately keep an eye on your child to keep them safe. Choose a different school.
