Preschools in Collegeville/Oaks area (Phoenixville, Exton: credit, house, preschool)

[bludgeon29]

I am looking to put down offers on a house either in the Oaks/Phoenixville area (longford crossing) or in Collegeville (Starfield community near Pfizer) and was looking to get a feel of any good pre-schools in these areas.

Any folks around here who have any experiences with preschools in these areas. I realize classes in most good preschools get filled up pretty early, and wanted to make sure there are good preschools and they have open seats before i finalize on a house. Would appreciate any feedback - thanks!

NAEYC.org is the best place to start looking for accredited preschools that have been screened for safety, cleanliness and appropriateness of program for the age taught. If nothing there meets your needs you can also check PAKEYS.org for 3 or 4 star programs near you.

I will probably send my daughter to the Children's School of Cabrini College in Wayne. I have also heard the Launfal school is good. I would avoid Kindercares in general. I also highly recommend the Goddard School of Exton which is expensive but just a cut above in all regards.

I would not recommend Trinity Preschool in Berwyn as it is way too academic/rigid/Republican if you will....my son just finished there and I have been counting the days since the second week - so glad to never have to deal with that place again!
