“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“TLE has been amazing for our son. He looks forward to seeing his friends and teachers every morning and is always excited to come home and tell us about his day.

They’ve done a great job building an environment that promotes learning, growth, and development.

We couldn’t be more thrilled with his progress!”

“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 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.”

“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.”

“The decision on where to send our children for preschool did not come easy! As a stay at home mom and these being our first children we struggled with the decision and did not take it lightly.. We couldn’t be happier with the decision we made to send our children to Happy Day!

Miss Maria and all of the teachers are so genuinely invested in caring for and teaching all of the children. We went from the first days of school in the fall with some separation sadness, to being on vacation in March and the kids missing school and so excited to return! They have grown so much socially, emotionally and academically with the care and support of all of their teachers at Happy Day.

We consider our children very fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend Happy Day ?”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 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.”

“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 :)”

“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.”

“Such a wonderful child learning center! The staff is caring, the environment is engaging, and there’s real progress in confidence and skills. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a nurturing place for their child to learn and thrive!”

“Took a great tour which was informative & helpful for a FTM not familiar with day care. Staff seem nice, welcoming & knowledgeable. Price is also budget friendly as well as one might apply 10% off if it is job related association. My son needs socialization, structure & schedule which this place seems capable of. I also liked the location as 4 mins away from us. We have decided to enroll my son here & hope his upcoming years would be filled with warm & happy moments.”

“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.”

“We are thrilled with the care our son receives at Bright Horizons at Seaport. It’s a smaller center than other daycare centers we toured, which we’ve loved because it’s allowed us to get to know the teachers and staff well and has ensured our son receives dedicated time and attention each day. The teachers are extraordinarily kind and loving, and it gives me peace of mind at work knowing I’m dropping my son off at a place he’s genuinely excited to go to each day. I can’t imagine attending any other daycare!”

“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 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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Good preschool for starters. Nice activities and learning. Have seen a significant improvement in my kid, thanks to orange class and especially rainbow class teachers for wonderful learnings.”
