“We are extremely impressed with the Goddard School - it was evident from the start, that they take the children seriously and are not only watching them daily; they are educating and helping them thrive. Our son has made tremendous progress in the last 5 months, specifically in the area of speech, and it truly is all thanks to the Goddard staff. Everyone from the front office/owners to the teachers make it special for the children - and show their willingness to work with parents daily.”

“I could not be happier with the care my children have received while at Building Blocks Child Care Center, their home away from home. As a Building Blocks graduate myself (class of ‘90!), I was thrilled to learn that they had openings that could accommodate both of my daughters’ schedules. Sending your child to day care can be excruciating, but knowing your babies are safe, nurtured, genuinely cared for, and educated all at the same time makes the decision much easier.The staff at Building Blocks is truly incredible. It is very obvious that the entire team is well-versed in child development and care. They have been instrumental in helping me identify my girls’ needs and have helped me in nurturing all areas of their development best. My girls are 2 years apart and could not be any more different in terms of needs—one struggled socially (thanks, Covid!) and one is super sassy and needed some gentle guidance in functioning as part of a class. Their respective teachers worked with them, using their strengths to help with their needs, to individualize their care and prepare them for the big world of elementary school.We all know how crucial a solid early education is for our children. As my older daughter moves on to kindergarten shortly, I am relieved she will have the academic skills and social-emotional readiness necessary to meet the challenges she will inevitably face and I cannot thank Building Blocks and its wonderful, caring, compassionate, accommodating and patient staff for that. There is no greater gift a parent can receive than the knowledge and confidence that your children will shine.Side note: get on the waiting list early—they fill up quickly, for obvious reasons!”

“We love Tots-N-Us. The teachers and staff are amazing! My son just graduated Annmarie's 3 year old class, and we couldn't be happy with his progress. He will attend Pre-K in the fall and my daughter will be in the toddler room. We have tried other daycares/schools before finding Tots, and wont go anywhere else.”

“If you are looking for a daycare that is structured, educational, fun with a staff that is responsive and ensures open communication, then I highly recommend Happy Hours. I have a 2 year old son that started about year ago and we've had a wonderful experience. I love that my son takes home at least 1 to 2 art projects each week. The staff will also sometimes send me random texts and pictures during the week of how much fun he is having as well as any concerns. During this pandemic, thankfully, my husband and I still had to go to work. However with that said, we had no choice but to still send our son to daycare. Happy Hours ensured they followed the necessary safety precautions to keep their kids, their staff, and their families safe. So if you are looking for a place that feels like than just a daycare...I know you will be "Happy" with your decision in choosing Happy Hours.”

“I absolutely love working here!! The owner is a fantastic boss and person. She looks after everyone including staffs and children. She treats everyone the same. It's a safe and fun environment!”

“We have been part of the Blossoming Minds family for 2 years when my, at the time, 5 month old started daycare! It has been the best decision we made to send him here. We just enrolled him to start the preschool program in the fall when he turns 3! My son has thrived in so many ways and we can’t wait to see him continue to grow as he enters the educational side of Blossoming Minds. The owners and staff are all amazing, kind, caring and so attentive to the kids. Makes it easier to leave my child there everyday knowing he’s cared for so well. There is constant communication throughout the day (through an app) so you always know what’s going on with your child. I highly recommend Blossoming Minds. You won’t regret choosing to send your child here!”

“My son absolutely loves this daycare. The toddler room is fantastic, always keeping him busy with activities and projects. They have an incredible outdoor area to let the little ones get their energy out! Very accommodating and a once a week or so they send pictures through their app so you can have a glimpse into their activities. When I pick him up he’s always in a great mood. No complaints ?”

“Both of my children have gone through the PreK and summer camp programs. Last year they participated in hybrid learning while at Little Friends and are currently in the before care program. Through the years the staff has been amazing and are like extended family. My children love going and have made great friends.”

“My son loves going to daycare, Ms. Alba is a great teacher and my son is always so happy getting dropped off. He works on so many projects that he gets to bring home and continues to learn so many new things. Ms. Alba also teaches them Spanish which is amazing. All of the staff are very friendly and my son loves everyone which makes it such a relief dropping him off. As a parent we worry about who is taking care of our kids and I’m so happy to have found this place!”
