“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.”

“The Goddard School of Middleton not only offers a rich and engaging curriculum in a safe, nurturing environment but also stands out for its exceptional staff. The administrators and teachers are genuinely caring, attentive, and dedicated to helping each child grow with love, while also supporting parents along the way. It’s clear that they love what they do, and that makes all the difference.

My son started at The Goddard School when he was two and a half, and the transition was difficult for him at first. He cried during drop-offs for a while, as he’s always been very attached to me. But his teachers in the First Steps classroom, along with the administrators, showed endless patience, compassion, and care. They embraced him with kindness and respect, helping him feel secure until he adjusted to his new environment. I only had the strength to leave him each morning because I knew he was cared for with genuine love and understanding.

They offer great hours for working parents, with pickup available until 6 p.m.—something that truly helps families balance work and home life. The facility feels very safe and well-managed; there is no way to access the building without permission from the administrators or authorization through their secure app, which gives me peace of mind every day.

The school also provides an excellent curriculum filled with enriching activities that support children’s development in fun and meaningful ways. One of my favorite features is their communication app, where parents can see daily updates about their child’s activities, understand the developmental goals behind them, and enjoy photos of their child learning and playing—it’s such a wonderful way to stay connected even while at work.

The staff is wonderfully multicultural, with teachers and administrators from different parts of the world. As an immigrant parent, that diversity makes me feel even more comfortable, accepted, and connected to the community. It’s a beautiful reflection of the welcoming environment the school creates for every family.

I couldn’t recommend The Goddard School of Middleton more highly—it truly feels like a second home for our family. A special thank you to Ali, Norah, Brittney, Miss Victoria, and Miss Hasna for your dedication and for being part of my son’s journey.”

“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!”

“Am happy to be part of Royal Health Care Institute being new in the country and finding a school that is soo welcoming professional and a friendly environment to thrive in. We had wonderful teachers and staff making sure our goal was achieved. Lastly we had a wonderful graduation?. Thankyou I would recommend to everyone.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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 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.”

“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.”

“I am very happy with Little Sprouts - Lawrence. The teachers are caring, professional, and always make sure my children feel safe and supported. Communication with parents is excellent, and I can see how much my children are learning and growing every day. I truly recommend this place to other families.”

“My daughter has been going to Little Sprouts daycare for a year now. She has moved through the infant room, now in I/Tods and will soon be moved to Toddler. I have loved all the teachers she has interacted with, she enjoys the various themed activities they plan and I can see she is growing to be independent and smart. Shout-out to Ms Amanda and Ms Jessica in the infant room and Ms Sydney and Ms Mary in I/Tods - they're amazing!!! Also, Sarah/Casey, Caella who work in Toddler :)”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Would definitely recommend Kindercare. Every teacher, Ms Sarah, Ms Francesca, Amanda, Ms Pina the center director, is so friendly, kind and attentive and always greet us with a smile. Ms Sarah always takes such great care of our son, sends pictures and keeps us updated daily of how he is doing. They are also very responsive to messages through their app which I appreciate. I feel like my son is in great hands and under good leadership.”

“We have two children at Moppets, both of which started around 6-months old and our eldest is coming up on nearly 4 and a half years there. We couldn't be happier with the staff and their dedication to all the children, including ours. We have entrusted them at the earliest stages of their lives, including through the difficult times of the pandemic, and we would do it again.”

“My daughter enjoys the school. She learns a great deal and her teachers are absolutely wonderful. The staff is friendly and communicative. I would highly recommend this place.”

“Great place, very organized, clean and the facilities are just awesome. Most of all I love it because everybody here is so happy and friendly. One of the few places that you can actually feel the live everywhere.”

“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 live in Maryland but am a Boston native, and found Sergio and 247 Drums on line searching for Yamaha dealers. I was looking for a special set of drums for my husband for his birthday and fathers day. He is a big Larry Mullen fan U2, and wanted the Yamaha silver sparkle finish - which you cannot just go out and find or order on line. I reached out to Sergio who simply made it happen. Through Covid and all life's craziness, my wonderful husband, who never does anything for himself, has always wanted a "real" drum kit. We put together the most incredible of kits, and my children and I made a huge Larry Mullen presentation to gift him his dream set. Sergio is an incredible resource - meticulous, diligent, incredibly responsive and patient. Sergio did not try to "sell" me anything - he guided me expertly, from choosing the right set up, to providing updates along the way, to being patient with me getting cold feet on the purchase, Sergio couldn't have been more wonderful. The order (because of Yamaha custom work and shipping) did take a bit to fulfill - but Sergio kept in contact with Yamaha, communicating with me throughout the process. Sergio was always on top of it and made sure that we got everything we ordered, delivered perfectly to Maryland. And it was a huge set - Yamaha Drum Set AHM Hybrid Maple custom order silver sparkle 4 pc kit (22, 10, 12, 16), snare 6 x 14, floor tom 14, additional bass drum 24, hardware pack, extra stands and pedals, Paiste 14 hh signature heavy, 16 and 18 power signature crashes, 2022 22 ride, and a seat! The wait was MORE than worth it. He was incredibly generous with pricing, matching online offers without me asking, and was just incredible. He is a wonderful musician as well, and made this gift extra special for my husband. Thank you Sergio!!! I am recommending 247 Drums to everyone I know! Now, Bobby cannot wait to start virtual lessons with Sergio. We thank you and 247 Drums for making a lifelong dream come true!”

“Best Day care ever ❤️
My child is 19 months old and used to cry frequently when heading to daycare, but after starting at Stoneham Kinder Care, I've seen positive changes in just two weeks. He is now happy, eating well, learning, and starting to speak. The teachers are very nurturing; if he refuses to eat, they offer him apple juice or a strawberry milkshake. They are helping him become more social and well-mannered. I highly recommend this daycare; your child will be very happy there.”

“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! ?”

“Hello everyone,

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this daycare. Both of my children attended for many years, starting in the infant/toddler room and eventually graduating. It has truly been an incredible journey for our family.

The staff here are absolutely amazing—so kind, patient, and genuinely loving with the children. I always felt at peace knowing my kids were in such caring and capable hands. We were truly blessed to have found a place that provided such a strong, supportive environment for both of them.

The communication has always been outstanding. The daycare uses an app that keeps you updated throughout the day, which made a huge difference and gave me so much reassurance as a parent. Anytime I had a question or needed anything, the staff were always there and eager to help.

Writing this review is both sweet and emotional, as we are now saying goodbye with my youngest moving on to a bigger school. It’s hard to leave a place that has meant so much to our family.
I will always be grateful for the love, care, and dedication shown to my children. I highly recommend this daycare to any family—it truly is the number one choice. I will continue to share your name with others because you deserve to be recognized for the amazing work you do.

Thank you for everything, and I wish nothing but the best for the entire staff. Your dedication does not go unnoticed.

Always,
The Santos Family.”

“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!”

“This daycare has truly been such a blessing for my family. From the very first day, it felt like a home away from home. The staff are professional, incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely caring. You can tell they love what they do it shows in the way they greet every child with a smile, celebrate their milestones, and treat each one as if they were their own.

My child has grown so much here not just academically, but socially and emotionally too. The teachers communicate so well with parents and always keep us updated, which really gives peace of mind. It’s rare to find a daycare where you can truly feel like part of a family, but this place is exactly that. I’m beyond grateful for all the love, support, and dedication they show every single day.”

“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!)”
