Fantastic through the Years

We have sent four of our children to the preschool over the course of the last 13 years. The staff has been fantastic throughout the years. They provided our children with a wonderful education, fantastic experiences and fostered friendships. Our children graduated from the program and were more than ready for the next step of their education. We highly recommend the program and are so happy our children attended.

Everyone There Really Cares…

Our family is very happy with our decision to send our children to the Harleysville preschool and pre-K programs. We have witnessed so much joy and growth in them over the past couple of years. The teachers are fantastic; the kids feel comfortable and engaged with them. The staff is responsive and accommodating. You can tell everyone there really cares about the children who attend. It has been a wonderful first schooling experience and we believe they will be ready as they move up to kindergarten.
