New School To Open In Lansdale

TOWAMENCIN TOWNSHIP, PA — A new 11,000-square-foot school will open up in Towamencin this fall.

The Goddard School of North Penn will be located on 1390 South Valley Forge Road.

“As a father of three children who attended The Goddard School, I’ve seen firsthand the impact a high-quality learning environment can have,” owner and Blue Bell resident John DiValentino said in a statement. “I’m excited to provide that same level of care, education and support to local families while building meaningful connections throughout the community.”

Described as an "early childhood education center," the facility will serve children ranging from six weeks to six years old.

It will create 30 new teaching jobs and its 10 classrooms will hold up to 150 students.

The school will also feature an indoor gym, a rock-climbing wall, a large outdoor classroom, and a hospital-grade sanitizing system.

It will officially open in October and it is now accepting new student enrollment.

It marks the 60th Goddard School in the greater Philadelphia area.
