“What a wonderful real camp experience! My son has immensely enjoyed the weeks he has spent here. I feel confident leaving my child with the very responsible and caring staff. All the kids seem to be having a great time with the endless amounts of activities for all interests!”

“This place is truly something special. I've been a member at A Mom's Village for six years and never want to leave! The village has been such a constant, wonderful part of my early (and now later) years of motherhood. The clients and employees are all so kind and welcoming. It's always an uplifting environment. The fitness classes continuously challenge me and leave me happy and feeling great. The instructors are wonderful and helpful. They work hard at planning top notch classes and it's evident they care about the clients and their wellbeing. The childcare staff is amazing and consistent, some have been there for over six years! They are amazingly patient, kind and fun. They really know how to calm a child, keep them engaged and make the time fun for all ages! All three of my kids have spent so much time here and still ask to go visit the village. The music classes are such a treat, a fun way to spend an hour with your kiddos. The playschool program is terrific. Melissa and her team are some of the kindest and patient people I know. It's a great way for your child to learn about making friends, taking turns, sharing and having fun in a safe nurturing environment. Oh and the whole space is beautiful and very clean! I could go on and on... Come check it out!”

“My kids attended the Goddard School from infant through preschool and I am grateful for the care and foundation the Goddard School provided. It has been an incredibly positive journey for our family.

The Goddard School has a great balance between structured learning and play based exploration. The curriculum prepared my kids for school while also developing their creative and social skills.

All of the staff at the Goddard School are caring, and take the time to get to know each child and family.

Most importantly, my kids were excited to go to Goddard each day, which says everything. Highly recommend.”

“Enthusiastic staff from admin to teachers. Progress reports detail your child’s growth and development. Next Gen provides meals and diapers for infants and toddlers. They’re open until 5:30, great for parents working the typical 9 to 5. They offer community building events to attend and every couple of months they will care for your child after hours on a Friday to give parents some alone time. I’m not sure how they can do better. They rock at what they do!”

“My husband and I send our son to this Kindercare and I can’t say enough good things about it! The teachers and staff are so caring, kind and knowledgeable. Being first time parents we are nervous about essentially everything and the team at Kindercare in Peabody consistently put our minds and hearts at ease!”

“5 Senses amazes me. I have two kids attending, and they've been transformed into active, curious, and thoughtful children. Prior to joining, they were at a large commercial facility, and the big concern was that the 3yr old was becoming too sedentary and unsociable. It took one summer session at 5 Senses to completely reverse that trend, and the progress continues over one year in.

I recently told the teachers coming to 5 Senses was far and away the best decision we made in 2024. The teachers are so engaged, and the kids adore them because of it. I couldn't recommend them more, and I feel incredibly lucky to have their influence on the ones I care most about. Job well done 5 Senses, keep it up!”

“We’ve trusted this daycare with our family for years, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about them. From the very beginning, the staff has treated our children like their own—with so much love, patience, and genuine care. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they are in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment every single day.

The communication is always clear and consistent, and the team goes above and beyond to keep parents involved and informed. Our kids have learned and grown so much here—not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. You can tell how much thought and heart goes into everything they do, from daily activities to special events.

What really sets this daycare apart is the sense of community they create. It feels like an extension of our family, and we are so grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on our children’s lives. We wouldn’t trust anyone else!

Highly, highly recommend to any family looking for a loving and reliable daycare.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We have had an amazing experience at KinderCare in North Reading. Our family has been part of this daycare for the past four years, and it truly feels like a second home for us.

My kids have grown in such a loving, safe, and supportive environment. The teachers and staff are wonderful, caring, and professional, and we are so grateful for everything they have done for our children.

A special thank you to Miss Ashley and Miss Rachel for their wonderful leadership and for always being so kind, helpful, and supportive. Natalie has had a beautiful experience with all of her teachers over the years, and she is currently having such a wonderful time with Miss Michelle and Miss Courtney. They make her feel loved, comfortable, and excited to go to school every day.

We are truly thankful for the care, patience, and love this center has shown our children. I highly recommend KinderCare North Reading to any family looking for a warm, nurturing, and trustworthy daycare.”

“We love Little Sprouts Peabody. The teachers and directors really care and our son is so happy going to school each day. We’ve been with Little Sprouts since our kiddo was an infant and it’s not an exaggeration to say it feels like family.”

“If you’re looking for one of the best summer programs in the area, summer at Brooks is your best bet. Stages & Studios completely changed my daughter’s life. She went in with no theater experience, and the talented, experienced staff immediately brought out her confidence and natural ability. The program goes above and beyond. She has learned skills that other theater teachers now compliment her on. Every summer she grows more in her craft, all while having fun, being a kid, and helping create an amazing production. She’s even had the opportunity to work on a short film and learn more about the art of storytelling. I cannot recommend Stages & Studios enough for any parent looking for a program where their child can learn, grow, and truly love what they’re doing.”

“Both of my sons attended The Carmelite for a combined total of three years. I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions we made for their education. Not only were they prepared for kindergarten, but the love and care they received from every teacher and sister went far beyond our expectations.
Our children were treated as more than just preschoolers- they were respected, nurtured and given opportunities to grow in responsibility and kindness. Lessons are carefully planned out and you can see progression in your child's academics as the weeks pass by.
We are incredibly grateful for the warm, faith-filled environment and genuine affection the staff showed our children.”

“My children have been coming here for over a year and we are very happy. My kiddos are happy to go to school and happy at the end of their school day. The teachers are attentive and caring. The director and assistant director are clear communicators and help make the transitions smooth. We feel cared for and like our kids are getting a great education at LLCC.”

“Little Footprints is a hidden gem. It’s hard to put into words how special of a place it is. My son attended as a baby, preschooler, and is now lucky enough to be spending the summer there after his kindergarten year. The owner/director, Jen, has created a loving, fun, and creative environment that fosters learning and social skills development. The kids are outdoors as much as possible, which we loved. The teachers and kind and caring and you can tell they love their job and the kids. Sending my son to Little Footprints was truly one of the best decisions we have made!”

“My family has been with NGCC for 3 years. To date, we have experience with the infant through pre-school programs and have been so impressed with the nurturing yet stimulating environment at NGCC. We particularly appreciate the focus on food safety in light of allergies we deal with, and the staff's extreme focus on protocol and procedure in this area. I would absolutely recommend NGCC Beverly!”

“My 2 year old couldn’t love this place more. She had a really hard time going to a Kindercare over the summer but she thrived going to Little Sprouts in Wilmington. All the teachers are amazing and the director is wonderful too. I couldn’t have been happier with our time there!”

“Primrose School of Andover has been beyond our expectations. From the very beginning, Urvi and her incredible team of teachers and admin staff have created an environment where children are truly known, supported, and cared for.

They have made my son Beck’s early childhood a dream. The warmth, patience, and genuine joy the teachers bring to the classroom every day is something you can feel the moment you walk through the doors. It’s clear that every child matters deeply to them. Not just academically, but emotionally and socially as well.

We’ve watched our son grow in confidence, curiosity, and happiness, and so much of that is thanks to the thoughtful care and structure the Primrose team provides. As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is spending their day in a place where they are safe, encouraged, and truly loved. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of the Primrose Andover community.”

“This school is great. All the teachers are super warm and kind to our kids. The admin staff is also wonderful, always greeting us with a smile and eager to help. Also very accommodating to family stuff that comes up!”

“Fox Hill School is truly an amazing preschool with caring, dedicated educators who create such a warm and nurturing environment for the children. The love and attention they put into every part of the school really shows. My son thrived here and was genuinely excited to come home and talk about what he did every day. If you’re looking for a preschool where your child will feel supported, encouraged, and set up to thrive, I highly recommend Fox Hill School!”

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Basic Beginnings. My son has been there from 10 weeks and just graduated Pre-K. The staff truly adores these kids and you can tell. They go above and beyond for every holiday, celebration, etc. I am so happy we chose them to watch our boy grow up. There have been a lot of changes in the 5 years but it’s better than ever now! They are truly like family to us. I am sad we have to leave in the fall. We even moved further away and decided to stay here because our son loved it so much.
I can’t recommend this center enough. ❤️❤️”

“We are so happy with our experience at Magical Beginnings in Middleton on Maple Street. This is our second daycare, and the difference has been truly incredible. From the start, we felt welcomed, and it’s clear that every teacher really cares. My son is blossoming—he knows songs, loves his books, and every day he tells me all about his day. One of the biggest milestones for us was potty training—after some struggle, he became successful so quickly once he started at Magical Beginnings. I know this was thanks to the amazing support from his teachers, their encouragement, and our open communication. I also love that the school encourages parents to participate—so, I can come in as a reader, share a story with the class, or even talk about my job. My son was so excited when I came in and spoke about my work, and I had such a blast meeting his friends and being part of that community. We also get daily updates on how his day went, and that daily communication helps us feel so involved. We couldn’t recommend this daycare enough.”

“My son attended Little Treasures from 3 months old until 5 years old. First at the Lynnfield location as an infant/toddler and then at the Reading location for preschool and pre-k. We had such a wonderful experience all the way through. Every teacher was so kind and caring. Our son always loved going to school and we always felt comfortable knowing he was in wonderful care. Their preschool and pre-k program set him up for great success in kindergarten and taught him so many important age-appropriate skills. We highly recommend LTS!”

“Great gym, well equipped weight room with plenty of space. The free weights are a bit dated but it’s got everything you need. Plenty of plates of all sizes, several barbells, benches, and a squat cage. The “crustiness” just adds to the overall vibe, which is a positive one! ?”

“Our son has had the pleasure of being in the infant room. The teachers have been amazing! Patient, kind, thoughtful! We feel so blessed for the time our son has had with this wonderful organization.”

“Both of our children attend Magical Beginnings in Wakefield and are cared for with genuine attention and kindness every day. Erin and her entire staff are truly invested in each child’s well‑being. They are professional, caring, and friendly, creating an environment where our kids feel safe, supported, and excited to come in each day. We are very grateful for everything they do. (Special shout out to the Baby Belugas and Leaping Leopards rooms - we appreciate you!)”

“My daughter attended this daycare from age 2 until she graduated to attend kindergarten. I can’t say enough about the owners and staff and the amazing education provided that put my daughter in a great spot!”
