Hello everyone!
I am looking for a really good Preschool for my 3 year old for 2 or 3 mornings. I don't mind driving (Collegeville, Blue Bell,...) as long as it's a nurturing and fun environment, with great staff and well educated teachers.
Thanks so much.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I scheduled tours for all of the suggested preschools and will let you know which one I like best.
I looked at Trinity and really loved it. The only downside is that I think starting with the 3 year olds they don't have no real rooms. Only a big hall which is partitioned. I don;t know how noisy that can get.
St. John's sounds great and I have a tour set up next week.
All of the women in my MOMS club recommend Wee Folk on Rt 63 in Harleysville. I can't remember the name of the church that it is in but it's the one up on the hill on the right hand side after you go past Walmart on Rt 63 (going toward Green Lane). Good luck!
I can confidently recommend Trinity Lutheran Country Nursery School on Rte. 363 in Fairview Village. I have sent both of my children there, and they blossomed in their first school experience. TCNS has many options, including lunch bunch from 11:30AM - 2:00 PM. My kids really felt "big" when they got to bring their lunch boxes to school. Good luck!
I cannot agree with the recommendation for TCNSK mentioned above, our experience was very disappointing.
Expensive tuition and application fees
Long and disorganized car lines, expect 15-20 minute waits in the morning and no chance to talk to your child's teacher.
Large classes, our class had 13 students in it (two teachers)
Constant pressure to buy overpriced books, gifts and prepackaged food in the name of fund-raising
School closes at the drop of a hat during January and February. I would estimate there were less than 15 days of school during those two months.
You will end up with an impressive pile of projects, 90% of which were done by the teacher.
My daughter attends Good Shepherd Preschool in King of Prussia it is a great school however it fills up quickly and may already be full for next year, as the good preschools tend to fill up quickly. Here is a link if you would like to check it out.

My youngest attends Trinity off of Rt.363. We love it!!!
We loved St. John's Preschool. It is on Skippack Pike in Blue Bell just past the North Wales Rd intersection (before 202) when heading east.
Good Luck!
