Welcome to Dean Family Child Care Home & Preschool!

​

 

 

Located in Harleysville, PA, we are a licensed, home-based early childhood program proudly rated STAR 4—Pennsylvania’s highest quality rating. Our mission is simple: to provide a nurturing, play-based environment where children shine through meaningful early learning experiences.

​​

 ​

Our Approach

At Dean Family Child Care Home & Preschool, we follow PA Department of Education guidelines while blending the Reggio Emilia philosophy. This creates a one-of-a-kind curriculum that is:

• Child-led and individualized

• Focused on social-emotional growth

• Enriched with nature, creativity, and the arts

📌 Our low ratios (6:1 or less) ensure every child receives individualized attention, building the confidence, skills, and relationships needed for lifelong success.

​

Our Core Values 

1. Childhood is precious and must be respected.

2. Play is the foundation of learning.

3. Curriculum should be child-driven and individualized.

4. Nature and the arts inspire growth.

5. Parents are a child’s first teacher and valued partners.

6. Relationships and continuity create security.

7. Learning should always be fun, loving, and nurturing.

Parent Partnerships

We believe that teacher-parent relationships are just as important as teacher-child relationships. At Dean Family Child Care Home, you’ll always feel connected, supported, and involved in your child’s early learning journey.
