Meet Founder and Momma Duck Jody Thompson

Owner of Ducklings Early Learning Center – Elverson, PA

Ducklings founder Jody Thompson brings more than 30 years of experience working with young children. Her journey began as a preschool teacher while she was majoring in child psychology, balancing her studies with raising her young daughters.

In the late 1980s, Jody went on to teach a private kindergarten class that was housed within a daycare center. At that time, most daycare programs focused solely on supervision and care, with little emphasis on early learning. Recognizing the potential to enrich children’s daily experiences, Jody took initiative by collaborating with caregivers to develop and introduce an early childhood education curriculum into the program.

Her vision helped transform traditional childcare into a more meaningful, educational environment—laying the foundation for the thoughtful, developmentally focused approach that continues to define Ducklings today.

Duckling’s realistic approach to childhood is sometimes noisy, often messy, but always fun!

Wiggle. Waddle. Here we grow!

Visiting Ducklings Elverson?

Located in the charming small borough of Elverson, Pennsylvania in northern Chester County, Ducklings Elverson offers a peaceful rural setting while remaining conveniently connected to several larger communities and regions. We are proud to be part of the Twin Vally School District. Our center offers a nurturing, engaging environment where young children can grow, explore, and learn through play. We look forward to welcoming your family!

Nothing but great things to say about Ducklings! We love that all the teachers (not just his direct teacher!) know his name and there seems to be a true team mentality to the staff – always helping each other out and bouncing around to make sure coverage is met. They are always coming up with fun themes and activities to teach & entertain and he is always happy and smiling when we pick him up!

My daughters started at Ducklings right after we moved into a new home and enrolled them in a new school—both within days of each other. As you can imagine, it was a big adjustment, but the admin team and teaching staff made the transition feel seamless. By the second day, EVERYONE knew their names and greeted them as we walked in. Their teachers work so hard to plan creative, thematic activities every single day that my girls truly love and learn from. The admin team communicates wonderfully, always organizing fun events for the school, and keeping the environment fresh and exciting with new decorations each month. We couldn’t be happier with the care, education, and attention our girls receive the moment they walk through the door!

Both of our daughters have been going to Ducklings for about 6 months now and we can’t say enough great things! The teachers they have had so far have been wonderful and they truly care about the kids. Our girls have both benefited in various ways from being there. Thank you, Ducklings!

We love the Ducklings school, the teachers and faculty are so hands on and our kids enjoy going into class each day. They are great with organizing events and in-school projects with the kids (we love the artwork our kids bring home each day!) I would recommend.
