Main Line Parent Education Partner Members

Ardmore United Methodist Preschool

“We love AUMP because it’s a very structured school. They provide lesson plans in the beginning of the school year and have parent / teacher conferences to keep us on track about how our child’s learning is progressing and behaviors at school. They host a lot of fun activities including Fall Festival, Halloween Parade, Christmas concert, etc. which provide opportunities for us to get to know the school, teachers, and other families better. The teachers at AUMP are all very nice, warm and trustworthy, just like a big family. It’s fairly easy to reach out to our teacher and communicate with our concerns. Although it’s a half day school, my child brings back A LOT of things he accomplished at school, such as worksheets, arts and crafts and other learning materials. AUMP also provides extended days as an option so my child can stay at school, play more and learn more until 2:00 pm.” – Fang L.

SALT Performing Arts Playhouses for Preschoolers

“This preschool, run by SALT Performing Arts and hosted at the beautiful Montgomery School campus, is an absolute gem. They incorporate dance (ballet and tap), tumbling, music, and art into the curriculum, partnering with local music and dance teachers for daily, structured, fun, and joyous exposure to the arts. They focus on helping the children find their voice, find their confidence, and become “”leaders of love and kindness,”” and I can truly say it works! My four year old entered the program having gone to a different preschool the year before. She has blossomed into a kind, confident little dancer and devoted friend to all over the course of this school year. And on top of all that, they get outside time daily for exploring the stream, fields, playground, and trees of Montgomery’s campus -plus, they get access to the full time school nurse!” – Sarah J.
