About the Business
The Bucket School, located at 130 West Miner Street in West Chester, Pennsylvania, is a preschool institution that operates as a ministry of the First Presbyterian Church of West Chester. Our mission is to provide a positive preschool experience in a safe and loving Christian environment, where children can thrive, develop a love of learning, and cultivate a sense of self.
At The Bucket School, we offer small class sizes, focus on the development of Christian values, and follow a play-based learning philosophy to help young children build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Our curriculum is designed to nurture the whole child through hands-on thematic units that are developmentally appropriate. We aim to fill our students' "buckets" with knowledge, love, joy, generosity, and wonder.
Our programs align with the Pennsylvania Standards for Early Learning and utilize multisensory curricula such as Fundations and Handwriting Without Tears to prepare young learners for the next step beyond our school. In addition to academic learning, we offer enriching opportunities through specials such as music, library, organized gym class, and mini worship to help children gain developmental skills in an engaging way.

Reviews
"The Bucket School is an amazing preschool! The teachers are highly professional, experienced, and caring, and each day is well-structured with age-appropriate academics and activities to build social skills. I've been so impressed by the curriculum. Phonics, handwriting, dramatic play, science, math, P.E., library, art...they cover it all, in ways that young kids find engaging. The optional lunch bunch and enrichment activities are worthwhile and are a nice way to get used to a longer day before kindergarten. I moved my son from another preschool to The Bucket School so he'd get a better sense of what the days at elementary school would be like, and it turned out to be a rewarding choice. I'll always be thankful for these teachers and recommend this school!"
"I’ve had two children go through The Bucket School and a third that will begin in the Fall. I have been thrilled with this school, as it is truly a school and not a daycare. They do a fantastic job of preparing a very engaging curriculum. They are also flexible with their extended enrichment programs that I highly recommend as both my boys were well prepared to attend full-day Kindergarten. Above all, I love the staff, they very caring with the children, and it is evident that they love their jobs—they truly have become our extended family. I highly recommend this school, as it is well run, and everyone takes the safety of our children very seriously."
"I only have good things to say about the Bucket School. Our son loves to go there and wants to see his friends and teachers as much as possible. We sign our son up for as many opportunities as they have available to him, such as lunch bunch, enrichment, and read and steam. It is a caring, loving, and safe environment. There are many events throughout the year. Our favorite one so far was the art show. We will miss the Bucket School next year as our son is off to Kindergarten. :)"
"We love the bucket school! This is our son’s second year here and he’s doing so well. Everyday, he loves going, learning, and spending time with his classmates and teachers. They do a great job with learning new themes, topics, reading, gym, and science experiments to name a few. We were new to the neighborhood and we feel so blessed that we were referred here! We can’t wait to send our daughter here too. Absolutely zero complaints!"
"The Bucket School is the perfect stepping stone for children before kindergarten. The teachers are amazing! They are kind and caring and always have an excellent curriculum set for the kids. The new director is amazing and has truly made this school a comfortable, safe, happy and nurturing environment for our kids. We hands down recommend this school!!!"
