“I am very happy to have enrolled my son into little sprouts. He has thrived in so many ways. He loves his teachers, loves the activities the school plans and loves engaging with his friends. I especially enjoy Lisa O. Her enthusiasm and bubbly personality really makes my son's days worth while. She is very welcoming to every child, and puts in lots of effort to building relationships with the children as well as the parents (based on my experience as well as what I've seen.) Thank you so much little sprouts for being a welcoming school to all the kids. I love the diversity in your teachers as well as your little munchkin students.”

“We couldn't be happier with our experience at Corner Coop. One of the standout features for us has been its flexibility with scheduling. As our daughter has grown more comfortable, we've been able to easily add on days and enroll her in the lunch program.The best part of the Coop is the teachers. They are fully engaged with the kids, always there to play, help manage those big feelings, and tailor activities to each child's interests. We’ve seen no staff turnover in the year our daughter has attended. We appreciate the play-based approach, allowing kids to choose their own activities and follow their passions. The kids spend at least an hour at the playground every day , weather permitting. They also get to play in the splash pad when it's hot and sled in Waldstein Park when it snows.Being a parent cooperative, we love being involved in the school's operations and feeling like true partners in our daughter's education journey. Corner Coop has exceeded our expectations and we're grateful to be a part of such a nurturing and supportive community.”

“We had an A++ experience here with our little one. No hesitation in giving 5 stars and recommending them to anyone with small kids. The teachers are very invested and warm and this is true for the program staff, director and owners as well. You can tell that the owners, Inga and Alex, really enjoy what they do. They are personable, kind and so good with children. We only ever heard very positive things from other CKS parents as well. Highly recommend!”

“We have had a wonderful experience with the Canton KinderCare. The teachers are caring, sweet, good listeners and genuinely have the children's best interests in mind. I want to particularly thank Ms. Marissa and Ms. Becca from the infant room. They were phenomenal with our son and we were so lucky he started daycare with them.”

“Our daughter is currently in her second year at Oonagh's preschool, and I've witnessed tremendous growth over the past year. Her English communication skills have flourished, progressing from virtually non-existent to the point where she can even translate for my parents. Additionally, she has started reading books to me, demonstrating remarkable progress.Moreover, her overall maturity has noticeably increased. She now feels comfortable in an environments without the need for her parents, which is a significant achievement after just half a year of being in school.I wholeheartedly recommend this school, and we are planning to enroll our second child when he turns 3 years old.”

“The enriching educational program at FJECC has more than prepared my two children for kindergarten and I am extremely grateful. Thanks to the warm and nurturing teachers, my once shy daughter is graduating this Spring with great self-confidence. Amy Bolotin, the FJECC Director, is an incredible leader and I love how she decorates the hallway walls with photos highlighting the curriculum from each classroom. Every morning when I see my daughter's face light up with the biggest smile as we enter the building, it makes my long commute 100% worth it. The FJECC has been a special experience for me as well, I have made several close friends throughout my years here, all thanks to the warm and welcoming community. This vibrant school is a gem. THANK YOU FJECC!”

“I worked at Tobin for 5 years or very close to that (2017-2022) in each of the pre-school rooms. I started in the after school program and transitioned into the preschool program once it began. Tobin quickly felt like a home away from home for me. I not only made life long friends during my time there but the kids and their families filled my heart with joy and purpose - it was a real privilege to have this opportunity to work for Tobin and I’ll always look back with fondness and gratitude. Tobin and its employees do their best to really give your children the best experiences possible as they understand the importance of development and immersive learning in these early years.”

“Both my daughter went to ACNS since age 2.9. It’s one of their best life experiences! All the teachers are amazing and the school is very friendly and clean. They especially did a good job preparing for the Kindergarten. The schedule option is flexible which is a big benefit to us. I would highly recommend to any family who has a preschooler.”

“My wife and I can't say enough positive things about Little Sprouts Watertown. Our 3 year old has been there for just over 6 months and absolutely loves the center. The ability to get outside and be active on their playgrounds is fantastic. The teachers have been so supportive and nurturing as our daughter develops. Just an amazing place!”

“I’m so happy I found this school. The staff and teachers are well worth the cost of tuition. They’re incredibly kind and knowledgeable people. I have two girls (4 & 2) enrolled in the school and they have been with Next Gen since they were newborns. They’ve become like family!”

“My daughter joined Little Sprouts in Norwood few months ago and has been very happy there. She bonded very quickly with Miss Lexia, Miss Lotta and Miss Lindsey. They have have been nothing but caring, always clearly and openly communicating about everything. It’s great to see her happy face on all the photos they sent of all the fun and educational activities they do. Both director and vice director have been great too. I see Heather in the infant groups very often and Kelsey has always been responsive and helpful.”

“How do you know a child enjoyed a place ? Well they ask to go back! And that is what my both daughters do everyday before bed . They make sure that there is school tomorrow. I am a mom of two and both the girls attend the Little spouts for over 2 years now! I fell like family there . I know all the teachers, have watched them show above and beyond dedication and care to creating a safe and striving environment for both of them . I highly recommend this place . I have peace knowing that my girls are well taken care of daily !”

“My name is Jaleh , and I have been a lead teacher in the infant room at SolBe School for two years. I was initially drawn to this learning center by its beautiful environment, the interesting Reggio Emilia teaching method, and its proximity to my home. Over time, I have come to appreciate the humane and loving behavior of the owners and administrators, as well as their commitment to doing things the right way. At SolBe School, the mental safety, mental health, and education of the children are always the top priority.

As a lead teacher, I have one hour of office time each day to write a weekly lesson plan for my class and to discuss communication strategies with parents. I have the professional freedom to choose daily activities based on the abilities of the babies in my infant room. This trust from the SolBe administrators who have a thorough selection process for teachers, is very valuable to me.

The school fosters a positive atmosphere based on close and friendly relationships, and I consider my two colleagues as members of my family. This circle of friendship and intimacy directly impacts our care for the children. Being a teacher at Solbe is not just a job; it is a passion. Over these two years, I have been able to enhance my knowledge of child relationships through the lectures and workshops provided to us.”

“Bright Horizons at Wellesley is the best of the best! Each day started with the warmest welcome from director Amy, assistant director Rachel, and the teachers! The infant classrooms are clean, organized, and full of enriching books and toys for babies to learn and grow. The infant teachers are exceptional! They work so incredibly hard to make sure that each child's needs are met, and individual schedules are followed. Everyone is so kind, caring, patient, and excellent in communicating about each child's day. It is very evident to me that everyone working here is incredibly passionate about caring for children, and helping support each family in whatever way they can. For us, Bright Horizons at Wellesley feels like an extension of family...like the village it takes to help care for a child! Thank you for being apart of our village! We appreciate all you do!”

“Both of my girls attended MCHW for 3 years and it was the most positive, educational and encouraging environment possible. To say we are fans of MCHW is an understatement. Miss Jenn, and her smart, caring and friendly team, fostered a sense of creativity, independence and growth in an environment where both my girls, who have very different learning styles and personalities, thrived. Any parent considering a Montessori school for their child should look no farther. In fact, I cannot wait for my son to begin his journey at MCHW in a few years:) A+++ school, teachers, and environment!”

“We started here when my son was 5 months old and he loves his teachers! Ms. Kay always has such a positive attitude and does so well with the infants. Ms. Elisa works so hard and really cares about her students and helping them grow. Ms. Marie has such love for the infants and you can tell they love spending time with her. We have loved our experience so far at Westwood Knowledge Beginnings!”

“I cannot express enough gratitude for the wonderful experience my daughter has had at The Learning Experience in Stoughton. As a parent of an autistic child, finding the right environment was crucial, and they've more than exceeded our expectations.From day one, the staff welcomed my daughter with open arms and every single member of the staff has been an absolute gem. Their collective patience, understanding, and dedication have made a world of difference. My daughter has truly blossomed under their care.The Learning Experience goes beyond inclusivity; they celebrate diversity. They’ve created an environment where every child feels valued and accepted. Sensory-friendly activities, visual schedules, and social skills groups have been instrumental in my daughter’s growth.SAFETY is also paramount, and I appreciate the stringent protocols in place. Knowing my daughter is safe allows me to feel that she's secure so I focus on work without worry.The social and emotional growth my daughter has experienced is remarkable. She’s made friends, learned to share, and gained so much confidence. The staff’s consistent communication has kept us informed and reassured.I've also found that they adapt seamlessly. When my daughter struggled with transitions, they patiently worked with her. Their flexibility and willingness to accommodate her needs have been an absolute game-changer.The Learning Experience is not just a day care; it’s a nurturing haven. My daughter’s smile when she arrives each morning says it all! Thank you for making her feel loved and valued!”

“Best environment I’ve seen from a gym! Very large and great assortment of equipment including, many benches, lots of free weights, lots of cables, hack squat, smith machine, and Olympic lifting room. Great people and staff who listen to the gym-goers. Can be crowded at some times but definitely tolerable. Love it here!”

“I really can't express how grateful I am for my son to have attended A to Z for almost 3 years! I moved back to the area a few years ago and was so worried that my youngest was going to have difficulty transitioning not only to a new home, but a new daycare. Eileen and ALL of the teachers made my son feel so welcome! It was if he had attended his entire life. Throughout his time at A to Z, he has absolutely flourished! Not only academically, but socially! He is beyond prepared for Kindergarten this Fall because of the support, encouragement and kindness he received from the teachers and staff at A to Z! We are going to miss seeing you all every day!”

“We now have two kids at Kindercare in Walpole and couldn't be happier. They are learning and growing each and every day!Our daughter has been with KinderCare Walpole for almost a year and she LOVES it! The teachers are great and she is learning so much.”

“We have been going to Bright Horizons at Charlestown for over 5 years. We love it. Everyone is so caring and the children feel very comfortable there. The activities are fun and I love that they go outside twice a day at least. The space is bright and clean. We have been so happy with Bright Horizons at Charlestown.”

“I like working here because the environment is safe, welcoming, and warm. Being that I am from Cape Verde and not an American native, I worried about a work environment that would be friendly and inviting. Since working here I have gained so much experience and so many friends. My coworkers have made working here so easy. They have created a safe space for me where I can come to work, teach, and make a difference. I strive everyday to positively impact these kids and help them be kind, helpful, and respectful to everyone.

Joining this team has been so amazing and it was an easy choice to enroll my daughter here. I know she is in a place that will help her be well rounded but still herself. This keeps me at peace that she is getting the best care.”

“The Goddard school is an amazing childcare center. Our daughter Reese learns so much and at 2.5 years talks so much. She is so excited to go to school everyday and loves all her teachers. We are so lucky to have the Goddard school.”

“My two children have attended this daycare, with my youngest starting at 6 months and my middle child joining at 5.4 years old. The transition from the infant room to the pre-school program has been exceptional, earning it a perfect 10 out of 10 in my book. Tay, the director, is easy to work with, fair, and true to her word – a 'yes' is a 'yes,' and 'no' means 'no.' She has consistently gone above and beyond to accommodate both me and my child.My youngest, who is currently 2 years old, still attends the daycare and absolutely loves it. The staff knows him by name, treating him as if he were their own. Mrs. Maggie, in particular, is a gem, making each child feel loved, warm, and special. This sentiment extends to all the caretakers; for instance, Mrs. G in the infant room is quick to notice if a baby isn't feeling well or if something seems off. I appreciate the level of attention to detail and communication at the daycare. Mrs. G, in the infant room, is particularly adept at picking up on subtle cues and keeps parents well informed. Any changes are communicated with ample time for adjustment. Overall, it's a fantastic place to entrust the care of your child.”

“We love bright Horizons seaport! Our oldest went from 2-5 yr old and now our youngest is there for preschool. The director and health and safety director are top notch in every way. So organized and welcoming! The staff in our sons classrooms have always been extremely thorough with daily reports, communication, well thought out activities to fit the curriculum, etc. they go above and beyond and you feel like your child is in a safe and happy place when you’re at work. The location also has a great outside space for the kids to play in the nice weather!!”

“We just love this daycare! Our child has been at the center for almost two years now and he just loves going there. The staff are so loving and caring; really getting to know him and appreciating all the nuances of our tiny human. They have such a great variety of activities and he learns so much while there. The facilities are bright, clean and inviting. We are really happy with the care they provide. Thank you!”
