A Functional and Beautiful Facility

New Gulph Children’s Center has made its home on the grounds of the Radnor Friends Meeting, since 1979. Our building rests on top of a small hill. The back of the building faces the parking lot and a high stone wall separates it from the street. Its many windows overlook green, landscaped grounds. Though conveniently situated at a major crossroads, New Gulph Children’s Center is set apart and shielded from noise and traffic.

The First Day School portion of the building houses our Preschool program while Fellowship Hall is where the Infant/Toddler program, the kitchen and the Center offices are located. The First Day School section of the building was constructed in colonial days and served as the stable area for the Quaker Meeting House. It has been completely renovated over the years. Fellowship Hall was built as an addition to the First Day School. The building’s physical plant is up-to-date with a regularly scheduled maintenance program and a long-term plan for appropriate capital improvements.

Our children in the Infant/Toddler Program share an airy, oversized open classroom, carpeted for crawlers and well stocked with toys and play equipment. Five contiguous classrooms, loaded with tons of books, toys, puzzles, games, crafts, and other objects, inspire our Preschool children to enjoy and explore.

NGCC’s state-of-the-art playground offers a wide selection of equipment designed and scaled specifically to challenge children under the age of five. A large deck provides ample room for outdoor play even when the grassy areas are wet.

To ensure a clean, comfortable, and healthy environment, reliable local firms are under contract for thorough daily cleaning, regular lawn care and pest control. In addition, the Center undergoes more extensive upkeep and refurbishment several times each year during breaks in the session calendar.
