When my daughter enrolled in febuary it was a huge disappointment to my husband and I. We we,re so disappointed that we are taking her out and putting

I am the father of 4 children who attend Wyndmoor and am very pleased with not only the wonderful academic program, but with the new administration, who in the short 1 month that they have taken over, have made such a difference in the school. My children are thriving at Wyndmoor and have absolutely

And, unlike the other reviewer, I think my childrens' homemade t-shirts are awesome! They were proud to make them and proud to wear them. I would surely take something they made by hand rather than a factory-produced shirt that would soon be forgotten! Read less

All that I can say is that the person who wrote that review either had a late tuition bill or a disruptive child, because this school and its administration are wonderful! We are brand new to the area and to the school and couldn't be happier. The summer camp is wonderful! My child has done and seen

All of this added to a loving Montessori environment that is so beneficial for children. The teachers and administrator and friendly and really do care. They have even given me a hug when I need it! I couldn't recommend this school enough! Read less

Lisa Boyle has been such a breath of fresh air at Wyndmoor! She took over last month from an administrator, who in 6 months, was bringing the school down the wrong path. Lisa is a certified educator and college professor, who in the few short weeks that she has been here has brightened the school tremendously.

Based solely on the academic program this school offers, I would give 4 stars with no hesitation. However, I feel the administration is horrible. When my child was enrolled in summer camp last year there were different events, visitors & fun activites that came to the school almost everyday. He looked

The activites have drastically decreased not to mention the summer camp t-shirts this year was I guess you can say an 'arts & craft project'. I'd have no problem with that if it were neatly done. Whoever wrote on my child's shirt had horrible hand writing and there was a lack of creativity. Big Globs of glitter everywhere, It was horrible. What did the $400 for summer enrichment fees go to?

This is a great School! Unlike the other parent I feel there is great diversity at this school. A caring staff and a diverse and rich curriculum. There are small class sizes and plenty of aids. My children both went to preschool there for several years so I can't speak for the upper grades. It's in a

My three year old can already write some numbers and letters! She can recite her numbers up to thirty and is learning about all kinds of subjects. They have yoga, music, and art activities, as well as spanish. I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend this school to any parent of young children. Read less
