Norwood PA's Top Choice for Childcare and Montessori Inspired Education

A Safe, Loving Place for Your Child

A Safe, Loving Place for Your Child

Finding the right childcare is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a parent. At Norwood Academy, we provide a warm, nurturing environment where your child is safe, stimulated, and truly cared for.

Learning That Lasts a Lifetime

Learning That Lasts a Lifetime

Our Montessori-inspired curriculum nurtures independence, sparks curiosity, and builds critical thinking skills. With certified educators and hands-on materials, we give your child the foundation they need to flourish.

We’ve Got Them After the Bell, Too

We’ve Got Them After the Bell, Too

Safe, structured after-school care with homework help and activities. Flexible pickup times for busy Norwood families.

Play to Learn

As we said learn and play. In this way, we encourage the child to learn from an early age.

We meet kids where they are

Every child develops at their own pace. Our programs are designed around each stage of early childhood — so your child always feels right at home.

Infants

Infants (6 weeks – 12 months)

Your baby deserves gentle, personalized care from day one. Our infant program provides a nurturing, secure environment where every milestone is celebrated.

Toddler

Toddlers (1 – 3 years)

Curious, energetic, and discovering everything for the first time. We channel that energy into play-based learning that builds language, motor skills, and confidence.

Preschool

Preschool (3 – 5 years)

Our Montessori-inspired preschool prepares children for kindergarten and beyond — building early literacy, math foundations, and a lifelong love of learning.

Flex-Care

Flex-Care (Ages 5+)

School's out, but we've got them covered. Our flexible before and after-school program keeps older kids engaged, supported, and safe.

We Provide Your Child With An Opportunity

At Norwood Academy, we believe learning should be joyful, hands-on, and built to last. Here's what makes our program different.

Funny Games

Play-Based Learning

Children learn best when they're having fun. Our play-based activities are designed to build early math, language, and social skills — without children even realizing they're learning.

Professional Teachers

Experienced, Caring Educators

Our team of Montessori-trained teachers brings passion, patience, and expertise to every classroom. Each child receives personalized attention tailored to their unique learning pace.

Education Program

Montessori-Inspired Curriculum

Our curriculum covers five core areas — Practical Life, Language, Math, Sensorial, and Cultural Geography — giving children a rich, well-rounded foundation for lifelong learning.

All in One Place Together

Everything Under One Roof

From infant care to after-school programs, Norwood Academy grows with your child. One trusted place for every stage — so your family never has to start over somewhere new.

Easy To Learn

Learning at Their Own Pace

Every child is different. We honor that by letting children progress at their own speed, building confidence and curiosity along the way — never rushing, always encouraging.

Sport Program

Active Play & Physical Development

Physical activity is a vital part of healthy development. Our outdoor play areas and movement activities help children build coordination, energy, and teamwork skills every day.
