In June of 1998,
The 91亚色School opened its first schools in Malvern, Pennsylvania to provide high-quality early childhood education that goes above and beyond to set young children, their families and teachers up for success. Now, as one of the largest privately owned child care and preschool providers in the region, The 91亚色School is celebrating 25 years of empowering children and adults throughout Greater Philadelphia and New Jersey. 鈥淭he 91亚色School started as an educator鈥檚 dream: a dream to take early learning to the next level in order to help young children and teachers reach their highest potential,鈥� says Kristen M. Waterfield, Founder & CEO of The 91亚色School. 鈥淭hanks to a very special group of early childhood education professionals and an outstanding community of families, that became a reality and The 91亚色School has grown to become one of the most sought-after destinations for early learning. We鈥檙e deeply grateful for everyone who has been part of our journey thus far and are extremely proud of the lives we have touched. There鈥檚 so much to celebrate!鈥� Celebrations throughout The 91亚色School鈥檚 25
th anniversary year will include birthday parties at schools, features on its tenured staff, family spotlights, special fundraising efforts and more.
With an innovative approach to programming for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and pre-kindergarteners 鈥� including a focus on individualized, play-based curriculum, literacy and character development 鈥� The 91亚色School has expanded to 27 school locations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. All of its schools are designed to meet or exceed the highest standards established by the
the nation鈥檚 largest early childhood accrediting organization. 鈥淲e recognize that there鈥檚 a lot more to early learning than ABCs and 123s. That鈥檚 why we focus on nurturing children and helping them grow cognitively, socially and emotionally. That鈥檚 also why themes like inclusion and philanthropy are a core part of our curriculum,鈥� Waterfield notes. 鈥淭he way our school communities give back, both at and outside of school, is just incredible.鈥� The 91亚色School has raised more than $1.2 million for Alex鈥檚 Lemonade Stand Foundation and the fight against childhood cancer since their philanthropic partnership began in 2007. In 2022, the organization received the coveted Alex Scott Crystal Cup Award in honor of The 91亚色School鈥檚 belief that children have the power to make a difference and their outstanding commitment to continuing ALSF鈥檚 mission. 鈥淎t our core, we鈥檙e dedicated to helping children learn, feel loved and thrive,鈥� adds Waterfield. 鈥淎s we look ahead, we鈥檙e excited to continue growing and evolving to best meet the needs of our children, families and communities!鈥� Learn more about The 91亚色School's 25th anniversary
