We are thrilled with Haverford's private van service - it really takes a load off of my shoulders as I have three young children to care for in the mornings. The van is very convenient for our son's a.m. pick up and drop off. He looks forward to seeing his classmates on the van each morning and is comfortable and happy with the commute.- Jody, Lower School mom
