“I was already knowledgeable in some herbal remedies and in some medicinal herbs. Herbal Academy gave me so much information on a grander scale. I am now confident in myself and in what I still learn daily. My path led me to Herbal Academy because I am antibiotic resistant. I'm a MRSA survivor and still a carrier. I still have health issues but can deal with them in other natural ways. Herbal remedies was my last hope. I had, had enough of pain, illness and never getting results I needed. I wanted my life back. I still reach for my books and continue to learn more. I'm so glad I took the steps. It is worth it. Herbal Academy actually popped up when I was told I had to be on IgG and I was at a low place. I saw hope and excitement when I oped that email after being sent the link for the Lost Ways. There it was, an invite to classes. I thank everyone who put their time and effort into bringing the Academy about. You'll never know how many lives you've touched.”

“We love BH Sudbury! We have had our toddler in since they were 6 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We toured a number of other care places before deciding on BHS, and found that the staff, the director and assistant director are all exceptional. The space is filled with warmth and fosters curiosity and learning. The curriculum has really helped our child progress, the atmosphere is one of love and learning, and the support and communication to parents is exceptional. I love how all of her teachers and basically all of the staff know her and her interests, personality, and curiosity and create a space and engage in activities that promote it. Many of the teachers have been with them for years which is also great to have that consistency. The app is especially awesome to keep updated on how her day is going, and we love how many pictures we get! As a working mom, it can sometimes feel hard to send your child away for the day, but BHS has made me feel so good about her time, and she wakes up excited to go and having great days! We could not recommend them enough!”

“All of the teachers and staff are incredibly patient, caring, and professional in guiding the children through every stage of their development. They provide thoughtful support not only for learning, but also for navigating emotions and social challenges. Communication with parents is always transparent, timely, and collaborative, which gives us great confidence and trust in the care our children receive.”

“I am incredibly grateful for ACNS! The staff are all knowledgeable and kind, and I feel so at ease knowing my son is in such a loving environment. This is such a positive introduction to school for my son. This is truly a child-led space where kids can be curious, creative, and empowered.”

“Roman was really helpful and understanding when I enrolled my daughter. He worked around my job schedule which was a relief. All the teachers were amazing and I loved how they had so many actives for the children. Really recommend this child care!!”

“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!”

“My family loves Little Sprouts. We are very happy with our experience with the school so far. Our daughter started going at 6 months old and is now 1.5 years old. We are always so impressed by the activities the teachers do with the kids of all ages! The communication is great - with many pictures sent on a daily basis, which really helped assure me as a new mom that my little one was having a great time and learning a bunch. Our daughter LOVES going to school, loves her teachers and friends and is so social and independent, due in part to her experience at Little Sprouts. We love that the kids get to go outside a bunch, and that there's a porch as well for the kids to get fresh air even when the weather isn't perfect.

The administrators of the school are also excellent - friendly, communicative, and always happy to discuss and answer our questions. We were so impressed that many of the teachers and administrators had been with the company and at the Concord location for MANY years. Definitely speaks to the culture there. We just wish we lived closer so we could participate in their evening and weekend events so we could get to know the other families and staff better.”

“Next Generation Sudbury has always taken such good care of the children who attend. Not only my own, but now my granddaughter as well! Always professional, happy and one of the best daycares in my opinion. The director and co director take great care in ensuring the children are well taken care of, and keep the staff happy! I am proud to bring my granddaughter here.”

“Our family has had a wonderful experience at NGCC from the toddler program all the way through Pre-K. Watching our son grow over the years has been incredible, and we are so grateful for the caring teachers and staff who have supported him every step of the way.
The preschool program, in particular, has had a tremendous impact on his development. His communication skills have improved significantly, and he has gained confidence in expressing his thoughts, feelings, and needs.
The nurturing environment, engaging curriculum, and dedication of the teachers have helped prepare him not only for kindergarten but for future success. We are so thankful for the positive experiences, friendships, and memories he has made here.”

“Our 2.5-year-old son, who didn’t know any English when he started, has been attending A to Z Day Care for about three months — and he has already learned so many English words and simple sentences!

When we first visited the school, Kaylie welcomed us so warmly and was incredibly kind and helpful. Our son adjusted to the school much more easily than we expected.

We’re very happy to be part of the A to Z family and truly thankful to everyone there! ?”

“Wonderful preschool with great sense of community, many enrichment opportunities for kids, and active parent group. Would recommend to any family looking for preschool in Needham - conveniently located just outside of downtown.”

“Our older son has been in Tobin since preschool and we have had very positive experiences so far. Teachers are caring and supportive, admin team is responsive and transparent in communication, and our son has enjoyed every single day at school here. We also love the curriculums and have seen the growth of our son both academically and emotionally.”

“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!”

“We absolutely love it here! Everyone is kind and welcoming, and we see the impact it has on our son, who is in the infant room. He is so happy and clearly loves his teachers. Their communication is great and we are always greeted with a smile from everyone. We are so glad we found this wonderful place and look forward to continuing for years to come!”

“I would give 4.5 if I could because truly the only negative is the turnover - which is very common in this field. The staff at Acton have always been welcoming, supportive, and loving to my kids. Communication is frequent, though I always feel like there's room for improvement when it comes to back end stuff/administrative. The communication on the app regarding my kids is consistent and appreciative. And the environment is clean, organized, and kid-appropriate.”

“To say Primrose was the perfect fit and experience for our 1 year old son's first exposure to school is an understatement. The entire Primrose team welcomed him and our family with an incredible amount of energy, positivity, and warmth. The administration is amazing - highly communicative, present, and supportive. Our son's teachers (Ms. O and Ms. P) are amazing; they showed him so much love, attention, and really helped him blossom. They are genuinely kind, creative, and amazing people. We became better parents because of their role in helping our son. As he moved into another class, the transition was seamless as the team had a well thought out plan to help the kids with change. Our son and family misses the Primrose community so much but we are appreciative of having this great experience before we moved.”

“We've been so happy with how Knowledge Beginnings has cared for our son since he first started at 6 months (now 15 months). It's clear they make a real effort to have a variety of activities for him to enjoy. The staff has always prioritized safety and they have been open and communicative, whether it's about illnesses going around or new milestones our son reached. Not to mention we appreciate the variety food they provide. We would highly recommend Knowledge Beginnings!”

“Both our kids love it there! They have their own garden in the backyard, and have their own chickens, peacocks, and once two goats! WoodsEdge gives our children a balanced combination of nature and nurture, with opportunities to explore the world on their own.”

“Best choice I made in a very long time have had a few issues with other centers in the area. Sonia and Lizbeth are beyond amazing they both made the transition so easy and simple. My son comes home happy feed and clean everyday now. He is even starting to talk something that was a very big challenge for him.”

“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!”

“CCL has been a warm and nurturing place for all three of my kids. The teachers truly care and the play-based curriculum provides a positive learning environment for the children across multiple levels. Not-for-profit community childcare centers are worth celebrating and CCL demonstrates why.”

“All my kids have gone to Mountainside and my last one is still there. The teachers are all great and loving! It is a small, friendly and family oriented center! Very safe and loving center!”

“Both of my girls attended MCHW for 3 years and it was the most positive, educational and encouraging environment possible. To say we are fans of MCHW is an understatement. Miss Jenn, and her smart, caring and friendly team, fostered a sense of creativity, independence and growth in an environment where both my girls, who have very different learning styles and personalities, thrived. Any parent considering a Montessori school for their child should look no farther. In fact, I cannot wait for my son to begin his journey at MCHW in a few years:) A+++ school, teachers, and environment!”

“Phenomenal institution! There are alot of concerns and worries from a parent when you're away from your kids. Especially when it's the first time but Waltham childcare center does an excellent job supporting you through the process. My son has attended this facility for a few years now and watching him grow not only an educational level but a disciplinary level makes it all worth it. The structure and routine that's built into these kids speaks volume of their leaders. There's always a weekly learning agenda mirroring the elementary form of schooling at an early stage. The work absolutely shows! Unfortunately there are centers that don't let you feel safe or comfortable leaving your kids behind. I can truly say I feel my son has a squad of parents when we are not around. He constantly speaks highly of all his teachers/staff and displays a genuine connection with all of them individually. He continously praises and admires their leasership in the classrooms. The staff is very attentive, quick to report and communicate what seems out of the ordinary for your child. This is definitely a fantastic institution for quality care. You truly experience a sense of CARE not only for your children but also for you! If I could give ten stars, I would! Keep it up Waltham Childcare Center.”

“I was so anxious about moving my little ones to a bigger daycare but I knew it was going to be good for their development! Ive noticed so many improvements with my 2 year old speech and behavior ever since he started 3-4 months ago! My 1 year old as well have started saying new words, you can tell that they really try to teach the kids. The staff is nurturing, patient, and friendly! You can also tell that the kids like being at daycare as well! I love how they provide different activities every day ( I wish I was a kid again lol ) they also have different events outside of school hours which is also amazing way to have everyone connect! I love how they have small gym rooms for the kids to play in case there’s a bad weather condition. They also have monthly surveys they send out to parents in order for us to voice our concerns which is always great to have room for improvement! I recommend this daycare! ?”

“We’ve had a wonderful experience at Primrose so far. The school is incredibly well run, with clear processes, consistent communication, and a strong sense of structure across all classrooms. Our daughter started in the infant room at six months old, and we are very happy with the care she receives. She comes home every day happy, well‑napped, well‑fed, and clean.
The infant room teachers are absolute sunshine- kind, comforting, and welcoming. Seeing our daughter go into their arms so happily means everything to us. We’re truly grateful for their care and for the support of the entire Primrose team.”

“We have been sending our son to The Goddard School since he was 1 year old, and he has now been there for three years. Overall, we have had a very positive experience.

We especially appreciate the variety of enrichment programs they offer, including music, athletics, science, cooking, and more. It has been wonderful to see our son exposed to so many different activities and learning opportunities at such a young age.

Another thing we value highly is how easy it is to communicate with the staff. Whenever we have had questions or concerns, the school has always been very responsive and supportive, which gives us a lot of peace of mind as parents.

We have not personally used the lunch ordering option because our son is a very picky eater, so we cannot comment on that aspect. But overall, we are grateful for the care and engaging environment the school has provided for our child.”

“We’ve been very happy at Family ACCESS. Particularly love how much space there is and the facilities. Great to have such a large space indoors for kids to play in winter and bad weather.”

“We love Knowledge Beginnings! We’ve had consistent, wonderful teachers for the infant classroom. Amy has been a great director and communicates very well with parents. Our baby is well cared for here. Highly recommend!”
