Why Malvern Families Love Ducklings

Julia S.
We absolutely love Ducklings! From the moment we started, the teachers have been so welcoming, nurturing, and genuinely caring. It's clear they truly love what they do, and it shows in the way they interact with the kids. The facility is always clean and well-maintained, and communication is excellent – they notify you right away if anything comes up. Most importantly, my son loves going there every day, which brings us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a safe and loving environment for their child!

We have nothing but great things to say about our time at Ducklings. The facility is new, clean and has a nice playground and gym. Miss Anna is a wonderful teacher. She is thoughtful and kind, provides frequent updates with photos on how our child is doing and is always in a positive and upbeat mood. The Directors are top notch and excel at communication and transparency, which is one of the most important things to us. We have never had to question what our child is doing throughout the day or what events are coming up during the week. We were previously at another well known daycare chain in the area and Ducklings blows them out of the park in every single way.

What a wonderful place to send our baby! Our child has been at Ducklings GV since he was 5 months old. I don't have much to compare it to since this is our first child, but I feel like the care and attention he receives here is superior. Their facility is always clean and tidy inside and outside. There are an endless number of activities for the children and most importantly the staff is friendly and caring. Our child is happy at drop-off and you can tell he enjoys his time there. The owner is also an operator and is onsite nearly daily. I think this is important because she is truly invested in the business and she even sends her own children there. I'm a bit of an anxiety mom so I love the convenience of the app they use to share updates and photos. I continue to recommend this Ducklings location to friends and family over and over again.

Great Valley - Megan Gardea

MEET Megan Gardea!

We are Jonathan and Megan Gardea, parents of three amazing kiddos and owners of the beautiful Ducklings Great Valley location! After spending most of my career with Ducklings as a teacher, Assistant Director, and Director, I was excited to go on this new adventure with my whole family.

Jonathan spends his time doing our accounting and keeps the building looking gorgeous with his handyman skills. I am on-site every day as both an Owner and the Director of our center. My background is in Early Childhood Education, specializing in Curriculum Development. We are both passionate about bringing a safe, healthy, loving environment for children to learn and grow to Malvern.

I truly believe in the Ducklings philosophy and I am so proud that we provide individualized care to the children who attend our school. We would love to have the opportunity to get to know your family and share our love of learning with your children. We hope to have a positive impact on the future of our community by providing a well-rounded Early Education to the children of Malvern for years to come.
