We enrolled our three young children into Willowdale and since then our kids have excelled beyond our expectations. The teachers are amazing and really focus on developing the children's learning capabilities and that is extremely important to us. Enrollment was simple and the cost was very reasonable (especially for three kids). We would absolutely recommend Willowdale.
AJ BMay 16, 2021As a working mother of two, I have had a chance to visit many daycare centers (7) over the years: I have seen it all: the big franchise centers. the director who talks and does not listen, the infant room full of crying babies. I did not think the perfect daycare center existed until I discovered Westtown Children's Academy. I love everything about the center: the owner, Melanie, is warm, dynamic, and approachable. She seems to be very close to her staff, who is in turn engaged with the children. When I called to set up my initial visit, she let me pick a day and time, and I was able to visit each room on my schedule. I love that the teachers at Westtown Children's Academy look excited to be there and I have never, ever heard them anything negative about other staff, the owner, or the director, which is something I have come to value after my experience with daycare #1. I also love that the center's time and money energy is spent where it matters, with children, and not in marketing efforts (again, something I no longer take for granted). The infant room is spacious and full of toys. When I picked up my then 5 1/2 month old baby after her first day at school, she did not want to leave. The teacher in the infant room is phenomenal. She genuinely loves babies and has many years of experience caring for little ones. She is very knowledgeable about many topics and I have valued her feedback on how to introducing solids. Icing on the cake, she has been sending pictures AND of videos of my little one to us throughout the day, which contributes to making me feel good about having my little one there. Finally, I love the parents at the academy. Every parent I have talked to seems laid back and easy-going, focused on the happiness of their little ones, which, based on the pictures and videos I have seen, is what the kids experience at Westtown Children's Academy :)

Questions parents ask about WILLOWDALE CHILDRENS ACADEMY
Is WILLOWDALE CHILDRENS ACADEMY a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. WILLOWDALE CHILDRENS ACADEMY holds Pennsylvania certificate 102686672-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Chester County. The current certificate runs to May 27, 2027. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.
What is WILLOWDALE CHILDRENS ACADEMY's Keystone STARS rating?
- Pennsylvania rates WILLOWDALE CHILDRENS ACADEMY STAR 3, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on January 9, 2026. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.
Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against WILLOWDALE CHILDRENS ACADEMY?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against WILLOWDALE CHILDRENS ACADEMY at the time the record was published. That is a single field in a snapshot, not a full compliance history, and it is not the same as a clean inspection record. The licensing inspection detail is at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch.
Does WILLOWDALE CHILDRENS ACADEMY accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. WILLOWDALE CHILDRENS ACADEMY holds a subsidy agreement with the state. The agreement covers these age groups: Infant and toddler, Preschool, School-age. An agreement means the provider can bill the subsidy programme, not that a funded place is free today. Eligibility is decided by your Early Learning Resource Center, Early Learning Resource Center for Region 19.
Does this page show inspection results for WILLOWDALE CHILDRENS ACADEMY?
- No. Pennsylvania completes at least one unannounced inspection a year at every licensed provider, and publishes the results through the provider search at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch. Those results are not included here, and there is no open dataset of them, so nothing on this page reflects WILLOWDALE CHILDRENS ACADEMY's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
