Welcome To Berwyn Early Learning Academy


At Berwyn Early Learning Academy(BELA), we are proud to offer an exceptional early childhood education experience for children ages 6 weeks to pre-K. As an independent early childhood education center we are committed to providing a nurturing, personalized environment where your child can thrive, and offer your family a close-knit community that chain-operated centers simply can't match.

Our unique approach combines literature-based and play-based learning, creating a rich, engaging atmosphere where children can develop their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills. We believe that by providing hands-on, meaningful experiences our teachers will promote growth, spark curiosity and help our students develop into life long learners.

Please explore our website to learn more about the programs we offer and how we can partner with you to set your child on a path for lifelong learning and excellence. We’d love for you and your family to join our growing community, so schedule a visit today and see firsthand what BELA has to offer.

Our Families Say


Berwyn Early Learning Academy has been such a blessing for our family. Seeing my daughter happy and excited to go to school every day means everything to us as parents.

The teachers and staff are caring, attentive, and truly open to feedback. They have a wonderful, spacious playground, and it’s clear that my daughter is learning and growing confidently through her preschool curriculum.

We especially love the ClassDojo updates, which let us see her day-to-day activities and feel connected even when we’re not there. The library visits are another thoughtful touch that encourages her love for books. The flexible 3-day, 4-day, or 5-day schedule options have made things so convenient for our family.

We feel very grateful to have found this school and are truly happy sending our daughter here. I would wholeheartedly recommend Berwyn Early Learning Academy to any parent looking for a warm, nurturing environment for their child. 💛
