Hello and thank you for inquiring about Spicebush Montessori School! We are a micro-Montessori school located in Glen Mills, PA, serving families with children aged 3-6 years old. What We Offer: Spicebush Montessori School provides a comprehensive Montessori education tailored specifically for children aged 3 to 6 years old. Our program is designed to support the unique developmental needs of each child through individualized learning plans that foster their natural curiosity and growth. In addition to our academic year program, we also offer an engaging summer camp that blendsfun with educational activities, ensuring year-round learning and development. What Sets Us Apart: Our school stands out due to our commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. We utilize a Family Individualized Tuition (FIT) model to ensure our Montessori education is available to families of varying income levels. We also offer transportation stipends to support families in need farther from the school and we offer subsidy to our lowest income families. Spicebush is Quaker-aligned and therefore aims to embody the Quaker values of SPICES: social justice, peace, inclusion, community, environment, and simplicity. Furthermore, our non-discrimination policy ensures that all children, regardless of race, gender, or background, have equal access to our programs and resources. We fully believe education should be limitless. Teaching Methods: At Spicebush Montessori, we adhere to the Montessori method, which emphasizes child-centered and child-directed learning within a carefully prepared environment. Our classroom features mixed-age groups, allowing children to learn from one another and develop strong social skills. The curriculum is supported by specially-educated teachers who observe each child’s development and introduce materials and activities that match their individual needs and interests. This approach helps children develop independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. Combined, the teacher leaders of Spicebush have over 20 years experience supporting children and are accredited by the American Montessori Society. Facilities: Our property sits on five acres of land shared by the Concord Friends Meeting House. Outside we have a large playground for children to use during school hours and families to visit after hours. We also have a community garden that the teachers, children, and families help maintain seasonally. The facilities are meticulously designed to create a "children’s house" that is both accessible and inviting. From child-sized tables and chairs to materials that are concrete, didactic, and self-correcting, every aspect of our environment is crafted to support independent exploration and learning. The high-quality, beautiful materials in our classrooms encourage children to engage with challenging concepts in a hands-on manner Additional Information: Spicebush Montessori School also offers summer camp for families after the school year ends. Our summer camps features themes such as farm life, gardening, and insect investigations, providing children with unique opportunities to explore nature and develop new interests. We encourage families to schedule a tour to experience firsthand the vibrant and supportive community we offer. Thank you for your consideration ☀️

Well, the following you may find helpful in making a decision. I'm the owner and director of Crew Kids. Thanks so much for contacting us! I'm a Villanova University graduate. I started this business in September of 1999, which we are incredibly proud. We have successfully incorporated a learning philosophy founded in teachings of child development experts. We focus on children's total well-being while making it a fun learning experience for long term success. It's my personal belief that collaborating with parents in building relationships that best support and nurture our children offers them the best head start to be confident learners in preparation for life. I converted our facility which was once a single home into a full capacity daycare. It was my intention to provide the most comfortable environment for infants and preschoolers to transition comfortably because of our "Like Home" setting. I designed the center to be what you may call a boutique childcare center. It's small, comfortable and service driven. We are not a chain daycare or corporate facility. We consider ourselves a family extension from your immediate family to our Crew Kids Family. Our infant and toddler room is nurturing and a comfortable environment offering the children the best in childcare in Media Borough. Our preschoolers are able to explore and learn in a loving environment in promotion of both social and academic success. We also have before and after school program for children that grow up here and would like to continue while at school age from Media Elementary and Wallingford Elementary School. Our hours of operation are 7am to 6pm. We are located centrally to transportation, major highways and Starbucks, Wawa or Dunkin Donuts in case you are a Latte addict. :-) I would be happy to schedule a tour of our center in which I have many written references to share for your review.Our rates can be discussed upon our meeting.
