Schools near Auburndale, MA

“I am incredibly grateful for ACNS! The staff are all knowledgeable and kind, and I feel so at ease knowing my son is in such a loving environment. This is such a positive introduction to school for my son. This is truly a child-led space where kids can be curious, creative, and empowered.”

“100% would recommend them. The kind, warm staff, and their expertise alone is enough to have any parent have peace of mind that their child is being directed on the correct path!”

“I was already knowledgeable in some herbal remedies and in some medicinal herbs. Herbal Academy gave me so much information on a grander scale. I am now confident in myself and in what I still learn daily. My path led me to Herbal Academy because I am antibiotic resistant. I'm a MRSA survivor and still a carrier. I still have health issues but can deal with them in other natural ways. Herbal remedies was my last hope. I had, had enough of pain, illness and never getting results I needed. I wanted my life back. I still reach for my books and continue to learn more. I'm so glad I took the steps. It is worth it. Herbal Academy actually popped up when I was told I had to be on IgG and I was at a low place. I saw hope and excitement when I oped that email after being sent the link for the Lost Ways. There it was, an invite to classes. I thank everyone who put their time and effort into bringing the Academy about. You'll never know how many lives you've touched.”

“Our daughter stated here back in September at 2.5yrs old (previously in other daycares, we recently moved to the area). She is THRIVING! They helped us to potty train her within a few weeks (which has been amazing). She loves talking about her friends and her wonderful, loving teachers. They offer many activities including music and art and dance as well as lots of free play and peaceful napping. She has also tried new foods (no lunch packing!).”

“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.”

“Roman was really helpful and understanding when I enrolled my daughter. He worked around my job schedule which was a relief. All the teachers were amazing and I loved how they had so many actives for the children. Really recommend this child care!!”

“My family loves Little Sprouts. We are very happy with our experience with the school so far. Our daughter started going at 6 months old and is now 1.5 years old. We are always so impressed by the activities the teachers do with the kids of all ages! The communication is great - with many pictures sent on a daily basis, which really helped assure me as a new mom that my little one was having a great time and learning a bunch. Our daughter LOVES going to school, loves her teachers and friends and is so social and independent, due in part to her experience at Little Sprouts. We love that the kids get to go outside a bunch, and that there's a porch as well for the kids to get fresh air even when the weather isn't perfect.

The administrators of the school are also excellent - friendly, communicative, and always happy to discuss and answer our questions. We were so impressed that many of the teachers and administrators had been with the company and at the Concord location for MANY years. Definitely speaks to the culture there. We just wish we lived closer so we could participate in their evening and weekend events so we could get to know the other families and staff better.”

“THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! So grateful for the amazing teachers at PNS. My son absolutely loved every single teacher there. They truly care and show so much patience and love towards the kids. We have to move from Belmont this year and I am heartbroken that my son will not be returning.”

“Solbe has been a great experience for our son. He became a lot more social and open to new experiences since starting at Solbe.

Probably the biggest change was his independence. He went from being totally attached 24/7 to his parents to even looking forward to and asking to go to daycare. We highly recommend Solbe for a caring staff that helps nurture your child's growth and independence.”

“My daughter has been in Preschool 1 since she was 2.9 and now is 4, and we have had the most wonderful experience with Ms. Glenda and her co-teacher, Ms. Jay. They are both so patient, nurturing, and attentive. They truly understand how to support little ones at this age and create such a warm, structured, and loving classroom environment.
I have seen so much growth in my daughter — socially, emotionally, and academically. It gives me so much peace knowing she is in a classroom where she feels safe and encouraged every single day.
The school directors are also incredible. They are professional, caring, and clearly invested in the success and well-being of every child. We are so grateful for everyone here!”

“Our family has had a wonderful experience at this daycare. The teachers are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in the children. One thing we especially appreciate is that many of the staff members have been here for a long time, which provides consistency and stability for the children.

The daycare includes meals in tuition, and they also prepare formula for babies when needed, which is a tremendous help for busy families. They offer plenty of outdoor play time and create a welcoming environment where children can learn, grow, and feel cared for. We have always felt that our twins were safe and loved while in their care.

Although our family is transitioning due to changing work and scheduling needs, we are very grateful for the care and support our children have received here. We would gladly recommend this daycare to other families looking for a nurturing environment for their children.”

“Our 2.5-year-old son, who didn’t know any English when he started, has been attending A to Z Day Care for about three months — and he has already learned so many English words and simple sentences!

When we first visited the school, Kaylie welcomed us so warmly and was incredibly kind and helpful. Our son adjusted to the school much more easily than we expected.

We’re very happy to be part of the A to Z family and truly thankful to everyone there! ?”

“Both my children go to this day care since 4 months old my oldest now being 3 years old. So we’ve been with this school for about 3 years now and that being said that means we were with this school with the old staff and director and now the newer staff and new director. The older staff before the switch has always been great and went above and beyond for my children, always calling me to let me know and keep me updated about my children and their wellbeing no matter what the situation was ( serious or non serious) I can literally feel how much my children are loved and taken care of. They have taught my children so much honestly more than I could help them with some things down to having Early intervention visiting the school who were always where the school has always accommodated to my children’s needs and schedules ( they are on medications , have Epi pens and other needs) they have always been amazing. Addressing the newer staff and director , have been nothing but wonderful. As it takes time for a new director to come into an institution and start implementing plans to make the center better you can already see such a change ! I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone this center especially where it is a chain center. As a parent of course our main concerns are our children’s needs and safety and I have had nothing but the best experience with this center and look forward to continuing on in this center through the infant 1 classroom to pre k. The new director aleigha and assistant director heather have done an amazing job coming together and making this school better everyday from changing the snack menu specifically with allergen free products so both my children can feel included when celebrating birthdays or just down to the everyday snacks. Rearranging the rooms so the children can navigate so much better. I just have nothing but amazing things to say for this place. They have even worked with me regarding payments as being someone who is on a biweekly payroll. Reading these past reviews of course sound concerning but also to me isn’t clear enough. I have never seen or witnessed anything that would make me feel concerned for my child’s safety. Toddlers are toddlers and bite and hit as they experience going through changes that’s just a given. My child was bit multiple times while in the toddler rooms as he also had been a biter sometimes unfortunately but as he transitioned from toddler to pre school 1 there has been no incidents like that. They are kids and that’s what kids do trying to explore their emotions as they learn how to feel said emotions. 5 stars all around from me ?”

“Our son had his original day care close and we were so fortunate to find a spot for him for his final 2 years of preschool and Pre-K at Graceworks. His development was phenomenal from learning piano, to math, reading, language and social skills. We felt completely safe with him and the staff, each of whom were caring, kind, and committed to his early development. He and we, as his parents, formed strong bonds with every teacher and staff member there. His confidence and behavioral advances that came with it were noticeable. A+ experience.”

“We are so grateful we found Milestones. They have always given us wonderful peace of mind about the care and love our children are receiving. Our kids have been here for 2.5 years and have moved through the infant room, toddler room, and now preschool. Our kids love their teachers as well as the directors.”

“Wonderful preschool with great sense of community, many enrichment opportunities for kids, and active parent group. Would recommend to any family looking for preschool in Needham - conveniently located just outside of downtown.”

“We’ve had a wonderful experience at Primrose School of Woburn over the past couple of years. From the very beginning, I have felt confident that my daughter is in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. The teachers and staff genuinely care about the children and take the time to build strong relationships with both kids and parents.

What stands out most is the communication and consistency. I always feel informed about my daughter’s day, development, and milestones, and it’s clear how much thought and care goes into the curriculum and classroom environment. She is excited to go to school, has grown so much socially and emotionally, and has built meaningful relationships with her teachers and classmates.

As a parent, there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is happy, supported, and truly known by the people caring for them each day. We are so grateful for the entire Primrose team and highly recommend the school to other families looking for high-quality childcare and early education.”

“Our son has been enrolled at Little Sprouts since October of 2023. I honestly love this place so much that although we moved from Brighton all the way to Braintree we still kept him enrolled. The staff is great and it's not a revolving door of staff like in many daycares. They do so much with the kids and the curriculum is great for each age group/class. I am updated daily through the app, they have picture days and a year book every year that you can order which includes all of their memories throughout the year. They host family nights and weekend activities you can come to with your children. I really love Little Sprouts and from the other reviews from other locations this seems to be the culture of the company. I highly recommend Little Sprouts and this is coming from someone who has done, KindaCare, Sunrise Learning Academy and Bright Horizons - Little Sprouts is number 1!”

“All I can say is in the 60's, this was the place to go. They had sailboats, row boats, all kinds of stuff to do. I rode my bike there from somerville. I think the guy running the sailing ⛵️ program name was sully? Maybe. You had to pass and get a sailing certificate first. I can't believe that place is still there.”

“Our older son has been in Tobin since preschool and we have had very positive experiences so far. Teachers are caring and supportive, admin team is responsive and transparent in communication, and our son has enjoyed every single day at school here. We also love the curriculums and have seen the growth of our son both academically and emotionally.”

“We have two children at LEAP (ages 4 and 2) and have been with LEAP for nearly two full years. We have been very happy with our children's experience at LEAP and with all that LEAP has to offer.

Our kids are excited to go to school each day to play and learn from their peers and teachers. The teachers have been engaging, energetic, and respectful in their interactions with us and our children. You can tell the teachers enjoy working there and as a result they collaborate very well together.

Communication with parents is strong and teachers have always been willing to meet with us to discuss our children's progress or cater to our individual needs, which we truly appreciate. We have found that the structure LEAP offers has translated well to our life at home and have certainly noticed the personal growth that has occurred based on their time in school.

LEAP offers several school day options with varying pickup times and has shown flexibility in working with us to find what fits our schedule best. We've also participated in their summer program, which was a wonderful experience for the kids. Highly recommend to any family looking for a warm learning environment for their children!”

“J. has enjoyed her time at Little Sprouts and has learned a ton. Her teachers are excellent and invested in her well-being and growth. I am especially excited to have a new music program. Physically the space is inviting and engaging.”

“This was my child’s first experience with daycare, and the transition was made completely seamless by Woburn KinderCare. The staff is incredibly kind and patient, and they consistently provide regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind.”

“Today is Teacher Appreciation Day! It’s only right I give everyone their flowers! I am a mother of 6 and I have had multiple children enrolled here at the same time for the last three years. The staff here is my family, I have never met better group of people. I TRUST them with my children with all of me. They have always advocated and done what is best for them. They treat my kids so well and always communicate with me. Little Sprouts Milton always show up for me! I’m grateful and I hope you all know your appreciated!”

“Our kids love Friends! The teachers are all very warm and caring and do a great job nurturing and helping them grow. My 3-year-old runs to play as soon as we arrive each morning and loves to give hugs to his teachers when he leaves for the day. My first grader still tells me how much fun she had and that she misses her teacher.

Friends whole-heartedly welcomed my son’s early intervention specialist to work on his speech at the center and the teachers incorporated their suggestions in their daily communication with him. I truly believe this collaboration helped my son graduate from the program in less than one year.

He also has many food allergies and each classroom teacher has taken steps to ensure his safety during meal and snack times while also including him at the table with the other kids. We always felt like he was well cared for and taken care of and never had to worry about him. We are so very happy that we chose Friends to care for our kids. Thank you for everything that you do!”

“We absolutely love this daycare. Our child has been enrolled since six months old, and watching them grow, both educationally and developmentally, has been incredible. Every classroom has been staffed with kind, caring teachers who clearly love what they do.

The daycare keeps the facility clean, offers a huge backyard playground for plenty of outdoor time, and goes above and beyond with family involvement: art shows, date night extended hours, and opportunities for parents to read or participate in classroom activities.

We couldn't recommend this place more highly.”

“Both of our daughters attended here from infancy to toddler ages. We had a lovely experience with attentive teachers, robust learning programs and flexible care. We HIGHLY recommend this Kindercare center!”

“We had a difficult experience with a previous daycare, so starting somewhere new came with a lot of hesitation and worry. From the very beginning, this center was a complete night-and-day difference. They were able to get us in quickly, and everything since then has been exceptional.

Our daughter had a very hard time napping, and the teachers showed incredible patience and care, working with her consistently until she was able to nap for over an hour each day. Beyond that, she comes home having learned new signs, new skills, and most importantly, she is genuinely happy at pickup every single day.

Before enrolling her here, I carried a lot of guilt and anxiety about daycare in general, fueled by so much of what you see online. Now, that feeling has completely flipped; I actually feel more guilt on the days she doesn’t go. Knowing she is so well cared for, supported, and happy has made all the difference for our family. We are incredibly grateful for this team and could not recommend them more highly.”

“FJECC is a wonderful place for children to attend preschool. What really sets it apart are the highly trained teachers and the exceptional student-to-teacher ratio. Every staff member has a background in child care or child development, and many hold master’s degrees. The kids receive excellent support and have amazing adult role models guiding them.

My 3.5-year-old is finishing their second year at FJECC, and we’re so excited for our 18-month-old to start in the toddler room this fall. Not only is our child learning so much—like writing their name—but they are also deeply immersed in Jewish holidays and the Jewish community. We are so grateful for this nurturing and enriching environment!”

“We feel so lucky to have found BCNS Preschool. The teachers and staff are OUTSTANDING. With three kids now having attended, we've had the privilege of experiencing every teacher at the school. I can honestly say that the director Krissy is amazing (and a teacher herself), and has so much expertise and a calmness about her that is carried throughout all the staff at BCNS.

Each of our kids have personalities distinct from one another and it's a delight to witness firsthand how the teachers and staff evolve to meet each child where they are. There has never been a moment I drop off my kiddo worried if they will have a great day.

On the parents' side, the community has been so open, friendly, and invaluable to us. There are adult and family events throughout the year that we look forward to now as traditions!”
