Malvern Educational Properties, LLC has proposed a two-story child daycare building of about 10,608 square feet. It would sit on a site of just under one acre (0.98 acres) in East Whiteland Township, Chester County. The county classes it as an institutional use.
The county records do not say what is on the site now. No news coverage, developer page or township meeting record was found for this project. That means nothing is known online about opposition, approvals or which daycare operator would run it.
The filing is a land development application. That is the township's formal review of the site layout, parking, stormwater drainage and access. Chester County's planning commission also logged the project in a 2025 review report.
What it could mean nearby
- Daycare drop-off and pick-up could add short, concentrated bursts of traffic at the site entrance. No traffic study was found.
- A building of this size would likely create some local jobs for staff, but no staffing figures were found.
- The 0.98-acre site would gain a building and paved parking, so any open space there would shrink. The records do not describe the current land cover.
Where it stands
The project has been through county-level review. The latest county filing is dated July 2025, and the county review log lists it in August 2025. No township approval was found. Next, the township planning commission and board of supervisors usually review the plans and vote on approval, often with conditions.
