“We absolutely love Hayward Road KinderCare, and that’s thanks in large part to all the amazing teachers—her infant &toddler teachers and currently Miss Jackie and Miss Markayla! They are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and dedicated to each child’s growth and happiness. My child is always coming home excited to share something new they’ve learned, which is a true testament to how engaging and effective their teaching is.

Miss Jackie and Miss Markayla create such a warm and welcoming environment that my child genuinely looks forward to going to school each day. They’ve also been so accommodating and attentive to my child’s individual needs, which means the world to our family. It’s clear they care deeply about every student in their classroom, and we feel incredibly lucky to have them as our teachers.

Thank you, Miss Jackie and Miss Markayla, for everything you do—you’re truly the heart of this wonderful center!”

“Bright Horizons at Boxborough is an amazing place to send your child!
The staff are top-notch! They are kind, patient and build great connections with your child and family. As a fellow educator, I'm always impressed with their focus on my child and their passion for what they do so well.
The app provides updates throughout the day, including photos of your child. There are weekly updates from administration and weekly curriculum plans from teachers. There are developmental portfolios shared twice a year with the skills your child has mastered and what they are working towards.
The center has a great vibe- it's so clean and organized and the great big fish tank is loved by the kids!
Administration is very present and easy to work with.
A huge plus for us- Drop-off begins at 7:30am.
There is an active Parent Partnership Group and many events throughout the year so you feel connected. We feel lucky to be part of such a great community!”

“I only have good words to say about mt.calvary. I researched a number of preschools in the area and mt calv outshined the rest. I love the big bright classrooms and the teacher to student ratio. Also, the fact that there’s minimal turnover and teachers have been there forever! If preschools offer extended day most only do it until 2 or 3. Mt Calv will stay open until 4. The stay and play is drop in and an hourly rate. One you can’t really beat ( any nanny or sitter would be more). They also provide snacks for the kids which is one less thing to worry about. What’s really nice is they do 3 parents night out per year. A couple of them are planned around Christmas shopping and Valentine’s Day. Things that make I sense for most people and a huge perk for parents!”

“My daughter started going to Kids A Lot at 4m old and now she is 16m old. I would rate the care here a 10/10! The infant teachers and toddler teachers so far have been the most attentive, nurturing, playful, and fun! My daughter loves going. I am in the medical field and have no doubts leaving my daughter here!”

“Shriver Job Corp is a very good place, helping young, homeless and needy children. The school also provides food, clothing and shelter for the students in addition to the certifications that help these same students to find jobs and earn money. Students receive all these advantages and also were given detergents and soaps for both bathing and laundry. Bed sheets, towels, and sponges were also received from the school.
They took care of the whole RMV process to get me my license, and by the time I was done, my job was ready. It was a very nice experience. I would recommend it to everyone. People came to Job corps and wasted their and resulted to complaining, it's only lazy people who find this place to be difficult or inconvenient.”
