Darlington Arts Center summer camp program. (Save 10% if you register before April 1) call the office about potential of multiple kid discount: http://www.darlingtonarts.org/special-programs/summer-arts-camp/

For that schedule I would definitely check out a summer nanny. Care.com is a good source, as well as asking around for friends' recs. You can probably find a college student or teacher who is looking for something a few days a week. There are also plenty of teachers around who watch kids at their own homes during the summer.

Summer Spree at the community Arts Center in Wallingford.

Summer Friends World Explorers at Media-Providence Friends School http://www.mpfs.org/school-life/summercamps/index.aspx

I would recommend Elwyn Development Center. I am a local speech therapist and special education advocate. I am also involved with The Arc of Delaware County. Feel free to Message me if you have questions or need support.

I believe Jackie is looking for a sitter, all the information listed here is useful for supports and therapies, but it may be difficult to find short notice sitter for 2 days a week. I have a 6 year old son with ASD and the only suggestions given to me from 'the pros' for specialty sitters is contacting 'care.com' for 'special needs' care, there is a fee but the person will come with referrals, etc.. You also may like to try yahoo groups to find support groups in your area. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Autism_In_The_Media/info . I am originally from Media but now live about 15 minutes away. Please send me a message in my private FB inbox if you would like further assistance or just want to connect with another autism parent. Good luck!

For the sitter part, I have no experience with them but care.com advertises that they can meet a wide range of needs so it's possible that they would have somebody with the type of background/training you're looking for. And nice response about being a team.

Quick FB question...do all post on this page come up in order? I was just reading a post about a mother looking for a babysitter for her Autistic daughter...the thread was rather long (and went off for a period on a grammer tangent) but now I can't find it. The reason I ask or in case she was reading this post, I did a little research on Care.com (I have found my last 3 sitters there and each has been better than the last) and I searched the words "autism" and "autistic" and found quite a few (57) available sitters within 10 miles of Media...it may be worth looking into.

Stacey Summers Joyce yes all responses should appear in order, oldest at the top, and yes sometimes threads get hijacked but hopefully get back on track if they are important, as this one did:)

Babywearing International of Southeastern PA also has monthly meetings and you're more than welcome to come hang out!

Hi Noel Yulon! I own https://www.facebook.com/1738892949676639 Gathered Birth and we basically exist for this exact reason! We're in downtown Media and have lots of classes and groups for pregnant and new moms. Here is our website. I am happy to answer any questions! www.gatheredbirth.com

My oldest went to Forever Friends in Springfield and loved it there.

Check out Little Journeys Academy in Newtown square. Staff is great and the building is so clean.

Little Journeys Academy. It’s in Newtown Square so I’m not sure if that’s out of the way for you but they’re awesome !!

There is Chesterbrook Academy at Rt 1 and 202, on the way to Kenneth Square.

Did you check Trinity Cooperative Daycare in Swarthmore?

Holy Trinity in Wallingford. All three of my children went there many years ago.

Woodland Academy in Springfield

The Malvern School in Glen Mills is exactly where you need to go!

Christ Church in Media. My son started there this school year and they are wonderful.

does the child have special needs? if not I would recommend Swarthmore Presbyterian pre school,or Trinity.

If you are working in Kennett, you pass Goddard in Chadds Ford. It’s just a block down 202 from 1. My daughter has been there almost 5 years, starting at 13 weeks. Give them a look-see. You can do part time there as well after the child is a year old. Not sure the wait list duration? Also try Media Children’s House in Aston. I hear good things about there.

Rose Tree Day School in Media is really great. They are on Rose Tree Rd right near where Providence Rd crosses. They are in the Unitarian church there but not affiliated. Really good staff and program. My son went there for 3 years. They even have a summer camp.

Chesterbrook Academy? Newtown Square.

Advent Christian Preschool. Our family loved this school! Small school and great teachers.

I know it’s a little out of the way, but we use Life Discovery School in Springfield. We’ve been there for 8+ years between the 2 kids. They have full and part time scheduling.

Although we are Catholic we sent our two daughters to K’tonton in Broomall They went 3 days a week and we loved every minute of it. Two big things on my list were a prepared fire exit plan and cleanliness. PM me if you have any questions http://felskids.org/center/ktonton/

Rose Tree Day School!

My 3 boys go to Today's Child 2 days a week and my daughter goes 2 days a week after school. She is in 2 nd grade at Rose Tree Elementary. We have had a positive experience for the most part. They are definitely flexible and reasonably priced. Food, formula and diapers included with tuition is nice too. Feel free to pm me with any specific questions

Life Discovery School allows 2 3 4 or 5, full or partial days, year round

I know you said media, but if you want to consider linwood, Sonrise Christian day school is a great school. Flexible schedule, small class size and they have a great rating with the state and parents alike

Aardvark Academy in Glen Mills is wonderful.

Chesterbrook Academy-Newtown Square (on Media Line Road, right past DCCC) is phenomenal. Amazing staff with a wonderful community feel. We have convenient hours and our tuition includes diapers, snacks and lunch! Give our admissions department a call to schedule a tour!! Jennifer Smith at (877) 959-3738. Best of luck to you!

We love Media Children’s House in Aston. They start at 18 months which is when we started our daughter- now 22 months. The program runs until 6/15 then there is a 7 week summer camp. The instructional day is shorter then a daycare but there is before and aftercare. Feel free to message me with any questions. Our daughter has flourished there. I can’t say enough good things.

We've been with Providence Pediatrics for 9 years and love it! We may have to change soon due to insurance and both my kids cried. They LOVE it there!

CHOP Care Media for pediatrics, Rose Tree Day School for your kid at 3 years old and potty trained - put your name in now.

If you're looking for a vet, I would absolutely recommend Brookhaven Animal Hospital. Dr. Kwon treats his animals better than anyone I've ever met. He will call you back after hours and even come into the office if there's an emergency. He's literally saved my dogs life, more than once.

https://malvernschool.com/

Welcome! I use Aston veterinary hospital for my dog. It's nearby and oh so great.

I concur with the recommendation for Dr Kwon at Brookhaven vet. Great doctor and staff.

Brookhaven vet and providence pediatrics as for child care I recommend visiting all the ones in the area. Score selecting. Everyone has different priorities for care.

We love Providence Pediatrics. I think there is a house for rent in Riddlewood on Rampart East, but I don't know anything about the price, # beds/baths, etc. Great family friendly neighborhood a very short drive from the borough.

I'm really happy with CHOP primary care in Media for kids. General practitioner Dr. Meyer Penn Medicine in Media. In home daycare Rebecca Littleton Crawford.

Aston Vet, Providence Pediatrics n Dr. Robson in Glenn mills is excellent.

1) Providence Pediatrics 2)Rose Tree Day Care (toddlers) Stay&Play (K-5) 3) Penn Care PCP

If you are open to Wallingford, there is a rental on Pleasant Hill Rd that may work for your budget. Kehillah Early Learning Services & today's child are worth a look. We use Broomall Peds and love them.

Drexel Hill Pediatrics!

For your pups, Media Veterinary Hospital.

This house is about 10 minutes from Media. http://www.vincemayrealestate.com/listing/mlsid/252/propertyid/6888736/

Kehillah early learning center (we had our daughter in another day care, and we were not satisfied so we moved her here, and I could not ask for anything better!), CHOP Springfield pediatrics, and Media Vet Hospital

I am a pediatric nurse. I take my son to Providence Pediatrics. They are wonderful!! http://www.provpeds.com

CHOP Springfield. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Arem. She's a Yale grad. Kinda dry and to the point but I respect her experience and opinion. Both of my children have been her patients since birth. Providence animal shelter is wonderful. Annuals, teeth cleaning, preventative meds are all affordable and I admire the staff. I am a stay at home mom after 10 years of teaching, certified in pa and de, and do offer in home childcare. Please reach out if you're interested. Best of luck with your transition and welcome!!

Providence Pediatrics and Rose Tree Dental.

Hi Kyle Bushnell We take our son to Providence Pediatrics in Media, and my wife and I both go to Penn Internal Associates of Delaware County in Media. We also have our son enrolled in The Malvern School in Glen Mills which is a town over. Good luck!

CHOP in Media is great, as is The Elwyn Development center for childcare.

Childcare: I highly recommend the Development Center at Elwyn. When my girls were that age (they're 6 and 8 now), I toured a few daycares, and they all seemed like baby prisons. The Development Center is very interactive and they focus on developmental milestones much more than other places that I looked. This is nerve-wracking, so I wish you luck!

We have a 6 month old and have been very happy with Providence Pediatrics and Crew Kids Daycare. Also my husband and I like the Penn Internal Medicine GP practice in Media. We take our dog to Township Line Animal Hospital - it's about 20 min away but they're wonderful and after a literal near-death experience somewhere else we won't switch again. And welcome:)

My daughter does Toddler Time at Rabbit Hill Nursery School, in Springfield. It's for 2.5 yr olds just 1 morning a week. She comes home with a cute craft after every class and loves going:)

Mount Hope in Aston.

Hello my name is Allison and I work at https://www.facebook.com/182007008573594 Kehillah https://www.facebook.com/260665754006932 Early Learning Center in Wallingford and K'tonton Early Learning Center in Broomall. Both offer part week options

Children's Day Out at Elam Methodist Church on Smithbridge Rd out in Glen Mills starts at 18 months. Really great program!

Not as lively as Media but Swarthmore is a charming little town with great events like the Farmers Market (#1 in PA), Food Truck-a-thon & Fine Arts Fest. Here's the website: http://www.swarthmoretowncenter.com

We have a fantastic Wallingford group but you can't join until you love lol. Kate Harper Linzey

http://felskids.org/center/kehillah/

What are the days/hours you want? Old Union, CADES, & Wallingford co-op have good moms morning out programs for that age but if you are looking for longer/more days, check Trinity and Kehillah. Strath Haven high school also does a pre-k program.

https://www.facebook.com/EducationStationPC/

Trinity Daycare in Swarthmore also runs the WES after school that both our kids went to. It's great. Often a waiting list so call asap. A more affordable option might be the daycare behind the Media Youth Center...I forget the name of it. We also liked Kehila and Ellwyn daycare centers which are 2 of the few NACAC accredited ones in the area.

https://www.facebook.com/117384628288828 Today's Child Learning Centers media

Rocky run YMCA they have a great program they take CCIS which you can apply for since you're a student and they also give financial aid discounts. They fill up quick but I am an early childhood educator worked there years ago and it's a great program You can also look on care.com for a babysitter or in home daycares
