The Malvern School was founded in 1998 and is part of the Busy Bees and BrightPath Family. Its mission states that it is dedicated to educating young children through diverse and innovative programming, with a commitment to providing curriculum and staff in a nurturing environment where children learn and feel loved. The Malvern School’s curriculum is described as literacy-focused and curriculum-based, and is designed to meet or exceed the standards established by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Several centers offer NAEYC-accredited programs, including Downingtown, Frazer, Glen Mills, Lionville, Malvern, Newtown Square, Richboro, and Royersford, and some locations are described as award-winning or recognized for excellence, including Downingtown, Lionville, Richboro, Royersford, and West Norriton.

The Malvern School describes itself as more than daycare, with a curriculum that inspires lifelong learning where quality education meets nurturing care. The Malvern School’s Malvern Center preschool offers NAEYC-accredited full and part-time programs with highly qualified teachers and a creative curriculum. Staff credentials highlighted across locations include dedicated, degreed staff at the Horsham daycare, a highly qualified team at the Warrington preschool, and highly qualified staff at the Frazer location. The leadership and teaching team named in program materials includes Leslie Fuller (Interim Senior Executive Director), Helene Swartz (Senior Program Operations Manager), Jennifer DeLaney (Executive Director at Erial), Christle Seal (Director of Educational Programs), and several lead and assistant teachers across different centers.

The Malvern School has an Alex's Lemonade Stand Partnership and notes community involvement at its Montgomeryville preschool and Newtown Square daycare.

Staff and leadership testimonials also state that the program customizes learning based on children’s developmental needs and interests, incorporates character and values into monthly themes, and includes many areas for different types of learners, with teachers describing themselves as certified and emphasizing a family atmosphere and ongoing program development.
