Because of our ability to set our own schedules, our girls have learned important lessons about time management, priorities, and self-discipline. We take advantage of the ability to travel and attend class “on the road. We lived in Barbados this past winter, and it was all because of PA Cyber’s ability to educate anywhere in the world.” – PA Cyber parents Reed and Katy Verdesoto

The West Hill School

1455 West Hill Road, Rosemont, PA 19010

Preschool, Independent

 

“The outdoor playscape really sets this [school] apart from other play-based schools in the area – it’s comprised of 16 different centers that allow kids to explore different areas of interest (art, music, building, etc.) with friends or independently. Additionally, we have found the staff to be unparalleled in their skills and warmth. Everyone in the school plays an important part of the day-to-day operations, knows the kids and parents by name, and is constantly looking for ways to enhance the programs (for example, Story Time Chess – an awesome chess learning system for kids 3+ – was added as an option for Afternoon Enrichment this year at the initiative of one of the Head Teachers). Our daughter literally jumps out of bed in the morning asking if it’s time to go to school. We are so happy to have the opportunity to be a part of this community – it’s such a special place and I can’t recommend it highly enough!”
