We''ve been sending our daughter here from pre-school to 3rd grade and will continue until the end, 6th grade - can't recommend the school enough - she is learning tons, gets individual attention, no bullying, no public BS. Teachers dedicated. I have seen children with learning issues come there and do very well.

My son has been attending the Children's House of Bucks County for the past year (he began at age 3). Before signing him up, I visited a number of area schools and was struck by the quiet concentration, challenging activities, and supported independence of the students at CHBC as compared with other preschools. I wanted a positive first academic experience for my son and could not be more pleased. The teachers are outstanding, the mixed-age classrooms provide excellent socialization, the classroom is stimulating and inviting, and the learning materials provide a rich and varied intellectual experience. In addition to the excellent Montessori curriculum, special music, Spanish, and library activities are offered weekly. I have re-enrolled my son for next year and plan to enroll my younger child when he is old enough.

I love this school! My mother sent my brothers and I to CHBC 35+ years ago. Now my son currently attends and will be starting full-day kindergarten this fall. This non-profit school has inventive educational programs provided by very experienced teachers. I could not be happier with my son's progression!

Our two daughters attended Children's House of Bucks County and are extremely pleased with the education they received. The teachers are very capable and professional. Each of our children adjusted almost immediately to the Montessori system. They learned to follow instructions, care for their classmates and environment as well as advanced skills on reading, math and art. I definitely recommend Children's House of Bucks County for parent looking to have their children have an enriching pre-school experience.

Wonderful school. Our older one attended this school from age 18 months to 5 years and we''ve already requested to reserve a spot for our younger one to start fall 2014. The Montessori concepts are followed very well. Amazing curriculum, amazing teachers.
Highly recommended.

Wonderful school!!! My daughter has been attending for 2 years now. She started at age 3 and will be entering Kindergarten in the fall. She looks forward to school every morning and is actually a bit sad that it is summer break now. :) It feels more like a large extended family than a school. So glad I found them 2 years ago.

My older son attended for PreK and Kindergarten, and I was so happy with the school and its teachers that I sent my younger son here this year. They are 5 years apart, and I''m pleased to see that CHBC has retained its outstanding staff. Both of my children have flourished here. It is well worth the 25 minute commute.
