Bryn Mawr Thorne Kindergarten at Haverford
The Bryn Mawr Thorne Kindergarten at Haverford, which is based in a restored historic building on the Haverford College campus, was founded in 2004. The kindergarten offers a small, nurturing, child-centered, full-day kindergarten program that is especially appropriate for children with summer birthdays who might benefit from an additional year before attending their future elementary school. The class is staffed by a teacher, an assistant teacher, and undergraduate assistants.
