1191 Chestnut St, Newton“We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Happy Child - my daughter has been attending full-time for the last two years, and the Center has done wonders in getting her ready for kindergarten academically and emotionally. Mira, Roman, and the rest of the team foster a welcoming environment and clearly care about every kid that spends time at Happy Child. We are so happy we had the opportunity to send our daughter there and recommend Happy Child to anyone who is looking for a welcoming, inclusive environment for their children.”
“Temple Shalom Nursery School (TSNS) is a wonderful preschool. My daughter was a student in all three classrooms (toddler through pre-K). I’ve had the opportunity to see how the different classrooms and curriculum build upon each other and allow the children to grow in so many ways. I have witnessed my daughter’s cognitive and social skills flourish, and her knowledge of both the secular and Jewish world deepen and expand, to the point where she is teaching me new Jewish cultures and traditions! The outdoor classroom sparks the children’s imaginations and allows them to explore nature all year long. I highly recommend TSNS!”
“The Teddy Bear Club is by far one of the best experience of my child's life. The staff is so caring which was really important to me. They pay close attention to your childs' needs and adjust accordingly. Laura is involved in all aspects of your child's learning process. She is out to greet you and always has such positive thing to say. The teachers (including Monica) are so helpful. Our daughter is a bit shy and they really encouraged her to come out of her shell but teaching her real world techniques that will benefit her for years to come. I cannot comment more on their kindness as it is so important to my husband and me that this be reinforced in a time where this doesn't seem to be important. Please note that it a great academic place as well. You will be surprised as to how much your child learns but their love of school only comes from the caring teachers and staff. It is a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Do this for your child and you will be forever grateful.”
“A great experience for kids!As we arrived from France in the middle of the year, we were quite worried about finding a pre-school that would welcome our 2 boys even if they were speaking only french.All the team at Parkside welcomed them so warmly. They enjoyed so much their time there, doing a lot of fun and various activities in a safe and caring environment. I would highly recommend!”

320 Needham St # 150, Newton“Bright Horizons at Newton is a fabulous center. My son has attended the center for over 1 year and we couldn't be happier with the staff, curriculum, cleanliness and friendliness. Bright Horizons at Newton is a center you will feel great sending your child to!”
“My son studied here for just one year and we will have wonderful memories forever. We loved After School, Mystery Dinner, teachers and all the staff. Hope we have in Brazil schools like this.”

45 Pettee St, Newton“We have had a wonderful experience these last nearly four years at Family Access! Most importantly, our daughter is loved and nurtured by teachers who care deeply about each child at the school. Many of them feel like family. Their play-based & touch points philosophy of early childhood development is really important to me and has really had a positive impact on our daughter. Other things: love their spacious facilities (having a gymnasium for the kiddos to run in during the loooooong winter is amazing!) They have a great playground which they use as much as the weather allows, and the West Newton location allows for lots of neighborhood/nature exploration.”

96 Otis St, Newton“Bowen is a remarkable preschool. After three years with them, Bowen feels like a second home to my daughter, and I feel like I am part of a real community. Wonderful people and an incredible first educational experience!”
“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!”
