Woodstown Preschool Academy

Overview - My daughter has been going to WPA for the past year and she absolutely loves it!

Teachers - The teachers here are the BEST! The teachers take their time and are dedicated to personalizing different learning plans to what works best for your child. Each one of them have their own set of unique skills that they use to help make learning both fun and engaging. It is this perfect harmony that makes my daughter love each and every teacher equally.
Ex: One of the teachers tends to focus on self help skills. As the mother of a needy 3 year old, I can't appreciate her enough for this! Through her determination, she was able to completely potty train my daughter in A WEEK through positive reinforcement and encouraging self help skills.

Ownership - Kathy, the owner, truly loves children and is always making adjustments for what works best. She regularly updates the play area with new and more modern equipment, I feel like this flexibility to embrace change is what has made WPA so successful. There is no stagnation and this gives WPA a competitive edge when compared with other daycares.

Activities - WPA is always planning a wide range of activities to keep kids engaged. They have stations that they rotate through each day and a structured schedule that is balanced for both learning and play time. They have a fenced in playground with age appropriate equipment with umbrellas for adequate protection from the sun.

Safety - Security was one of the biggest issues when searching for a daycare. WPA utilizes an automatic safety lock on their door that can only be opened by the outside by using codes specific to your child. The door automatically locks and engages once it's closed. Inside, there is a half door that separates the lobby from the play area that can only be opened via the lobby handle. I do wish there was a surveillance system, but the center is set to upgrade in the next few months so fingers crossed that it will be included.

Social - My daughter has a wide network of friends there, and looks forward to going in the morning. All of the kids are well mannered and we haven't had one issue to date!

Quality - When I first started searching for a daycare in the Woodstown/Pilesgrove area, I compared the Health Inspector reports and citations for each daycare. WPA outperformed all of the other places in every single aspect, it was the obvious choice. All of the teachers have undergone background checks and the majority of them have been there for a long time.

Value - WPA is slightly more expensive compared to other daycares in the area, but you get what you pay for. They also take part in assistance programs if you qualify.

Daily Reports - One of the features I love most about WPA is that they provide daily reports that detail exactly what your child did that day. It tells you what stations they played at, what books they read, and whatever fun activity they took part in that day. I really enjoy this paper because it sparks conversation with your child, it encourages them to explain themselves and summarize what they did that day. It inspires them to critically think and reflect back on their day and explain it to mommy or daddy.

Learning - I love that the structured schedule encourages learning and growth. My daughter has learned so much in the past year that the difference is exponential. My niece is the same age as my daughter, but she does not attend daycare. Observing the two, it is undeniable that my daughter is much more advanced. She holds full conversations, knows about the solar system, alphabet, gardening, sports, and so much more. I have to give credit to WPA, they have truly perfected the system for providing both nourishing and educational environment for kids to learn and thrive.
