“I patronized Taste of Black Boston while in the city on Saturday, 06-24-23. Loved the rooftop view & being able to soak up all the sunshine. The building was well maintained & clean.Was disappointed in the food represented. Can't be the best that Boston had to offer. The wine was on point. Enjoyed the vendors the most, both the conversation and patronizing a few. Was limited due to space & flying back or I may have bought more.”

“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.”

“Highly recommend! Our son has been at Little Sprouts for about 5 months now and we are very impressed! The teachers are very loving and do a lot of great activities with the kiddos. Our 4-year old daughter (at a different school) often comes with us to pickup our son and the teachers always greet her by name and give her a big hello, which makes her feel very special. Their warmth is greatly appreciated! I would recommend Little Sprouts without hesitation.”

“A wonderful nursery school with devoted teachers who create a warm, caring place for all their students. The playground includes a new climbing structure, outdoor kitchen, rocking horses and lots of room to run.”

“We had an A++ experience here with our little one. No hesitation in giving 5 stars and recommending them to anyone with small kids. The teachers are very invested and warm and this is true for the program staff, director and owners as well. You can tell that the owners, Inga and Alex, really enjoy what they do. They are personable, kind and so good with children. We only ever heard very positive things from other CKS parents as well. Highly recommend!”

“I am very happy to have enrolled my son into little sprouts. He has thrived in so many ways. He loves his teachers, loves the activities the school plans and loves engaging with his friends. I especially enjoy Lisa O. Her enthusiasm and bubbly personality really makes my son's days worth while. She is very welcoming to every child, and puts in lots of effort to building relationships with the children as well as the parents (based on my experience as well as what I've seen.) Thank you so much little sprouts for being a welcoming school to all the kids. I love the diversity in your teachers as well as your little munchkin students.”

“Our son spent the past 2 years at Little Children Schoolhouse and we could not have been happier with how Gladys and all of the teachers took care of him and adored him.This school is exceptional and we highly recommend it!”

“We started at 4mo and are very happy! The care takers are so attentive and caring with our child. Very thankful to have a warm and safe "home away from home" while Mom and Dad are at work!”

“Although my daughter attended only two months in Goddard for summer, she was so happy at school and we satisfied with all the school facilities and teachers especially the school owner is very sweet and friendly.”

“Our daughter is currently in her second year at Oonagh's preschool, and I've witnessed tremendous growth over the past year. Her English communication skills have flourished, progressing from virtually non-existent to the point where she can even translate for my parents. Additionally, she has started reading books to me, demonstrating remarkable progress.Moreover, her overall maturity has noticeably increased. She now feels comfortable in an environments without the need for her parents, which is a significant achievement after just half a year of being in school.I wholeheartedly recommend this school, and we are planning to enroll our second child when he turns 3 years old.”

“The enriching educational program at FJECC has more than prepared my two children for kindergarten and I am extremely grateful. Thanks to the warm and nurturing teachers, my once shy daughter is graduating this Spring with great self-confidence. Amy Bolotin, the FJECC Director, is an incredible leader and I love how she decorates the hallway walls with photos highlighting the curriculum from each classroom. Every morning when I see my daughter's face light up with the biggest smile as we enter the building, it makes my long commute 100% worth it. The FJECC has been a special experience for me as well, I have made several close friends throughout my years here, all thanks to the warm and welcoming community. This vibrant school is a gem. THANK YOU FJECC!”

“I am the preschool teacher at this little sprouts location. This is the best center that I have been too and I absolutely love the staff and children! We have a awesome group”

“My wife and I can't say enough positive things about Little Sprouts Watertown. Our 3 year old has been there for just over 6 months and absolutely loves the center. The ability to get outside and be active on their playgrounds is fantastic. The teachers have been so supportive and nurturing as our daughter develops. Just an amazing place!”

“Our daughter went to Open Center for two years through Spring ‘23, when she graduated out and went to kindergarten. It was simply terrific!Loved the play-based, joyful approach. Meanwhile, I was always impressed with how much she learned. To this day, I keep finding out that some of the things she knows are from her time there.Great teachers, leadership and families. Five stars plus.”

“The ABGC is a safe, fun, great place for kids to grow up alongside wonderful role models , wonderful staff, and so many of whom have been involved for many years. I have seen a major improvement in my kids social and emotional health from their experiences and relationships, and relationship building skills being discovered and built at the boys n girls club. They also are healthier from the regular swimming, exercising, and excitement of being with friends after school. They learn to cook, and learn all types of different things there. Anytime I walked around inside it was very clean considering all the traffic, they definitely have professionals deep cleaning regularly. I wish I had a place like ABGC in my town growing up. It's a gift to our community.”

“My daughter joined Little Sprouts in Norwood few months ago and has been very happy there. She bonded very quickly with Miss Lexia, Miss Lotta and Miss Lindsey. They have have been nothing but caring, always clearly and openly communicating about everything. It’s great to see her happy face on all the photos they sent of all the fun and educational activities they do. Both director and vice director have been great too. I see Heather in the infant groups very often and Kelsey has always been responsive and helpful.”

“How do you know a child enjoyed a place ? Well they ask to go back! And that is what my both daughters do everyday before bed . They make sure that there is school tomorrow. I am a mom of two and both the girls attend the Little spouts for over 2 years now! I fell like family there . I know all the teachers, have watched them show above and beyond dedication and care to creating a safe and striving environment for both of them . I highly recommend this place . I have peace knowing that my girls are well taken care of daily !”

“My name is Jaleh , and I have been a lead teacher in the infant room at SolBe School for two years. I was initially drawn to this learning center by its beautiful environment, the interesting Reggio Emilia teaching method, and its proximity to my home. Over time, I have come to appreciate the humane and loving behavior of the owners and administrators, as well as their commitment to doing things the right way. At SolBe School, the mental safety, mental health, and education of the children are always the top priority.

As a lead teacher, I have one hour of office time each day to write a weekly lesson plan for my class and to discuss communication strategies with parents. I have the professional freedom to choose daily activities based on the abilities of the babies in my infant room. This trust from the SolBe administrators who have a thorough selection process for teachers, is very valuable to me.

The school fosters a positive atmosphere based on close and friendly relationships, and I consider my two colleagues as members of my family. This circle of friendship and intimacy directly impacts our care for the children. Being a teacher at Solbe is not just a job; it is a passion. Over these two years, I have been able to enhance my knowledge of child relationships through the lectures and workshops provided to us.”

“Bright Horizons at Wellesley is the best of the best! Each day started with the warmest welcome from director Amy, assistant director Rachel, and the teachers! The infant classrooms are clean, organized, and full of enriching books and toys for babies to learn and grow. The infant teachers are exceptional! They work so incredibly hard to make sure that each child's needs are met, and individual schedules are followed. Everyone is so kind, caring, patient, and excellent in communicating about each child's day. It is very evident to me that everyone working here is incredibly passionate about caring for children, and helping support each family in whatever way they can. For us, Bright Horizons at Wellesley feels like an extension of family...like the village it takes to help care for a child! Thank you for being apart of our village! We appreciate all you do!”

“We started here when my son was 5 months old and he loves his teachers! Ms. Kay always has such a positive attitude and does so well with the infants. Ms. Elisa works so hard and really cares about her students and helping them grow. Ms. Marie has such love for the infants and you can tell they love spending time with her. We have loved our experience so far at Westwood Knowledge Beginnings!”

“Both our children have been attending this Bright Horizons (infant and 4yr old), conveniently located 15min from our home and right next to the highway. The longer center hours are perfect for those of us who endure long commutes in/out of Cambridge and want to feel like you are getting ahead of the nightmare traffic.Regarding the center - we toured MANY different daycares in the area, did our due diligence online with state reports and reading every review; and what I can personally tell you is that this is hands down the best place we visited. Not to call out other places, but one of the Montessori’s in the area gave off some very “snobby” vibes and lacked diversity, and another newer larger chain daycare always had their front doors propped open for anyone to enter in/out ?The facility itself is rather unique in that it is its own standalone facility with their own different age appropriate outdoor playgrounds. Yes - the price tag is heavy, but with that comes incredible teachers, caregivers who listen and work with you, and leaders who are invested in your child to ensure they are happy, safe, and growing. I love checking the app throughout my day to see what my little ones are up to, likewise it’s great that they are able to communicate through this to you directly so there are no miscommunications. I also love that they have regular opportunities for fun socialization during and after hours so you also get to meet some of your kids classmates and their parents too. The curriculum that is provided feels like a mix of Montessori, STEM-focused and a creative learning approach…we love it and have seen how much our son has blossomed here with the structure they provide and all the incredible teaching staff. From a safety perspective- which for an anxious mom was the priority, this location has multiple safety measures including limited access opportunity to the building for outsiders. The school is also a nut-free facility and take allergies issues incredibly seriously (if that is a concern to you).Overall, I highly recommend!”

“Best environment I’ve seen from a gym! Very large and great assortment of equipment including, many benches, lots of free weights, lots of cables, hack squat, smith machine, and Olympic lifting room. Great people and staff who listen to the gym-goers. Can be crowded at some times but definitely tolerable. Love it here!”

“I really can't express how grateful I am for my son to have attended A to Z for almost 3 years! I moved back to the area a few years ago and was so worried that my youngest was going to have difficulty transitioning not only to a new home, but a new daycare. Eileen and ALL of the teachers made my son feel so welcome! It was if he had attended his entire life. Throughout his time at A to Z, he has absolutely flourished! Not only academically, but socially! He is beyond prepared for Kindergarten this Fall because of the support, encouragement and kindness he received from the teachers and staff at A to Z! We are going to miss seeing you all every day!”

“We have been going to Bright Horizons at Charlestown for over 5 years. We love it. Everyone is so caring and the children feel very comfortable there. The activities are fun and I love that they go outside twice a day at least. The space is bright and clean. We have been so happy with Bright Horizons at Charlestown.”

“We are so happy with our son's growth and development at Little Sprouts over the past year. This is unquestionably a result of wonderful, patient, and caring teachers there. Ms. Sydney Andrews is wonderful! They always keep us updated on his progress and really show affection for the kids. I love the daily picture of the activities the kids work on. It's clear that the teachers enjoy kids and have fun in the work they do.”

“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!”

“LEAP has been a wonderful community for our daughter and us parents. The teachers and directors are warm, knowledgeable, and fun! We've seen our daughter really blossom there in the nearly two years she's been attending.”

“We love our experience with CCL. Our son has been here for almost a year, and he has thrived in the nurturing environment that the teachers and admin staff created.I can't say enough about how wonderful the teachers are. My son lights up whenever he talks about not only the teachers in his room, but also the other teachers that he has gotten to know in the playground. Whenever I pick him up from school, his teachers always have an anecdote to share about his day. Our son loves the playground in the back - there is so much space and lots of toys. It is also nicely shaded during the summer. On rainy/snowy days they have a large room indoors with lots of space for activities, which we appreciate for our very energetic and active kiddo.There are many creative and well-thought out activities, not to mention visits from musicians, puppet show performances, etc that my son loves.We are so thankful that we found CCL and would highly recommend them to any family!”

“Our son was at this center when the COVID lockdown happened, and the staff was incredibly attentive, communicative, and especially caring throughout that process. We loved them so much we enrolled our daughter a few years later, and she loves coming to school - she has a true admiration for her teachers and we know she is safe, happy, and healthy at this center. We will be sad when she goes to kindergarten and we no longer get to work with the BHTS staff! We love them.”

“The Goddard school is an amazing childcare center. Our daughter Reese learns so much and at 2.5 years talks so much. She is so excited to go to school everyday and loves all her teachers. We are so lucky to have the Goddard school.”
