“Both of my boys attended Ocean State Kidz summer camps for several years. Miss Laura and Mr. Matt run an excellent program! My boys were engaged and busy all summer. They always came home with stories of the fun things they did that day and the new things they got to experience. They went on field trips and learned all kinds of new skills. All of the staff was caring and supportive. I highly recommend OSK as a safe and fun place to send your children.”

“Awesome place to buy a piano! Chris was very helpful and took all the time needed to make sure this piano was the proper fit for me. Delivery was very good as well. I will definitely go back when I’m ready to upgrade.”

“One word, Excellent!
Discovery Academy is an excellent school ! Our daughter is making exceptional progress. Every day, she impresses us with new things she’s learning. The directors and teachers are absolutely amazing ! They wholeheartedly care about the children and cater to their individual needs. It is exactly what you want in a school. We have experienced several daycares over the past ten years, not a single one compares to Discovery . Excellent job Discovery, keep up the great work !”

“We absolutely love Little Scholars Preschool! From the moment we joined, it was clear how much care, dedication, and heart goes into everything they do. The owner truly embodies everything you would hope for in a preschool teacher: kind, patient, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about helping children grow and thrive.
The seasonal activities they plan are always creative, engaging, and so much fun for the kiddos.
What has meant the most to our family is the incredible support they’ve given our 3-year-old through his speech delay and individual needs. They have worked with him with so much grace, patience, understanding, and encouragement.
We couldn’t recommend them more highly!”

“My daughter stared at BSA in December and we absolutely love it there! It’s clean and organized, and my daughter loves the arts and crafts they do there, and she has learned so much since starting. Kiana and the staff have all been so wonderful during her transition into daycare as well as mine as a nervous mama! They all continue to be so kind and reassuring with their consistent notes throughout the day and comforting messages whenever needed. I can’t speak highly enough of BSA!”

“I chose this school as State pre-k for my daughter and this was the best choice I did. Ms Jenn is always around, Ms Alley and Ms Kendra were the best. And all the other teachers and staff were great !
In our case it was the very first time my daughter was out of home, with more kids, and being cared for by someone other than mom and dad and grannies, and even though it was tough at the begging teachers handle it pretty well, there are not words to thank the people whom you entrust your most valuable possession that are your children. If my second daughter is chosen for SPK definitely I will trust you again !!! THANK YOU for all the love, patient and dedication you have for my girl 💝”

“This was my daughter's first daycare. She has been in the infant daycare for 3 months now and I could not be happier about her experience. The teachers are excellent and have had a really positive effect on her development.”

“I could not be happier with this school. My daughter (recently graduated) thrived here, made so many great friends, and learned so much over two years. She loved going to school every day, came home singing new songs, made tons of artwork, and had a wonderful time. The co-op aspect of the school allowed my husband and I to spend time in the classroom, sharing the day with our daughter and her classmates. We treasured these days, and the friendships we have made with the other parents. Community is a huge part of this school, and we are so happy and grateful to have been a part of it!”

“If I could give this childcare center more than 5 stars, I would! Amazing staff and teachers, they care for the children like their own. Lots of interactive play and extra activities every week. Great hours and reasonably priced. Highly recommend this center, I wouldn't take my child anywhere else.”

“We absolutely loved ACU! Just had our graduation from Kindergarten and we are so happy we found this school! From day one, our daughter was welcomed in and loved! She grew so much here over 2 years, we wish we had her here longer and had also brought our son to this school, well worth the investment.

We will miss this place so much! You will not regret sending your kids here!”

“We moved Layla to Cadence in November of 2025, and we couldn’t be happier! She spent a short time in the infant classroom, but she was always so excited to join the toddler classroom. Since moving to Toddler 1 with Mr. Mason and Mr. Matt, Layla has truly thrived! She always comes home with a smile on her face and has grown so much!”

“Both of my girls attended BPS, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. The caring teachers, the thoughtful curriculum, and the community create something truly magical. The Reggio Emilia arts- and play-based approach didn’t just nurture their creativity—it instilled a lifelong love of art, learning, and curiosity. I’m forever grateful for the foundation Brown Play School gave them.”

“I’ve had such a great experience with Greenville Nursery School, especially with the new management. Tiffany Solomon has been amazing. You can really see the care, structure, and positive energy she brings into the school. The activities they plan for the kids make learning fun and engaging. It’s not just about academics, it’s about helping kids enjoy learning, build confidence, and grow socially. My child looks forward to going every day, and that says everything. I’m really grateful for the environment they’ve created and would definitely recommend this school to other families.”

“My twins attend Dr. Daycare in Providence and it is clear they love it! They get so excited everyday at drop off. The infant teachers are some of their favorite people, they reach out and giggle when they see them. The teachers and aids make sure to know parent preferences and stick to them, which is great for dietary preferences and child specific needs.

The vacation policy and meals provided are wonderful as a parent looking to make sure kids are in quality care that is also affordable.

Several colleagues recommended them and I am definitely doing the same.”

“This childcare facility checks every box a parent is looking for for the most precious little people in our life. They are reasonable with the prices they have. It’s such a welcoming place at any moment of the day that you walk in. Knowing that safety is first priority to them puts our mind at ease. The staff treat the kids like their own. The curriculum they follow for learning is amazing. You feel like you are just as involved in the education because you have an app that they updated through out the day. Recommend to anyone who is unsure to give them a call and tour.”

“MCSRI is a great school. My son transitioned out to traditional school from MCS and is ahead of his peers. MCS left him with a curious spirit and confidence to explore and inquire. I highly recommend it.”

“Both my son and daughter have been a part of AKA and it has truly felt like a second family to us. The teachers go above and beyond with the love and care they show our kids. My son recently graduated and received an award for breaking out of his shell - a moment that touched our hearts and showed us how much the staff believed in him. My daughter learns, sings, and dances with so much joy in a positive environment the staff has created. Our family will be forever grateful for the love and care the staff has given our kids. We love you all at AKA and we are blessed to be a part of your family!!!”

“Ms Carol and Ms Libby took very good care of my 3 year old daughter. She learned a lot while she was there and they provide meals which was a huge plus! My daughter is a handful and they always updated me on things to work on or if we had a good or bad day. We are taking a break for the summer but will be back.”

“We have a 2 yo who has been with EELC full-time for the past year and a half. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about the center, the teachers, and the Director. EELC staff and teachers love our kid like he's their own, and my 2 yo looks forward to going to "school" every single day. The center is clean, beautiful and well-equipped, the staff are extremely communicative and supportive. As new parents and a family who started childcare during peak-COVID, EELC has been a lifesaver and we can't imagine being anywhere else.”

“I had to Have my six week old start Daycare Due to my limited maternity leave. This was really difficult for me, And after touring many Daycare’s, the children’s workshop is the only Daycare that caught my attention and made me feel comfortable. My now almost 4 month old does amazing in the infant room. The teachers Are great and I feel very safe leaving my child with them. It is the same 2 to 3 teachers so the children get very familiar with them. When I drop off my daughter she smiles at them which makes me feel very positive leaving her for the day . The app is also Amazing. I can’t speak for the Other age groups There or the other teachersBut if you have an infant I definitely recommend the children’s workshop. I did wish that they have cameras, But none of the daycare’s I toured did So it must just be a common thing! Regardless, The Infant room is great And I highly recommend!”

“As a new, first time mom choosing child care can be scary! I knew from the moment I got pregnant I could trust DDC. Their kind, caring administrators Hailey and Tiffany made the application process seamless. Everything is well thought out and organized. Miss Emily is incredible, and the rest of the infant room teachers have made the transition so easy. I feel so confident dropping my baby off every day. She's been thriving in the infant room for 6 months now and I love to watch her learn!”

“My daughter, who generally has a hard time with transitions, especially in new environments, is SO happy at DDC Pawtucket and adjusted super quick. Everybody is so warm and welcoming there, and the catering program is so impressive. I’m sad that we didn’t find DDC sooner! There is so much for the kids to explore and they really go above and beyond. We are extremely grateful and happy for finding DDC Pawtucket.”

“Instructor Wayne Perry was outstanding. Made it very easy to learn and get used to. Mr. Peterson the Owner of American Safety isn’t just the owner he’s a teacher too. He guided me through the entire way answering any questions we had and making sure we understand everything to the best of our abilities. Great class”

“Just wanted to share some information that may be useful to the parents out there. I was standing across the street at Self Serenity Spa. This is when 2 kids were being disruptive. A mother proceeded to politely remind the kids and since the behavior continued she calmly threatened the kids to call the cops (which she did) and the cops showed up and gave the kids a warning. It was incredible, she handled the situation extremely well to keep peace in the area. Great support system of parents.”

“The Children’s Workshop has been such a supportive, loving and safe space for my son who has attended since he was 4 months old. My son has created strong and healthy relationships with all teachers and has thrived socially and academically. As new parents my husband and I have also felt incredibly supported and understood as we navigated new situations with full support. TCW has been a safe space for us all and we are forever grateful to have had the opportunity to attend.”

“Our son started here at 8 mo the old and loves going to daycare everyday! The tag communicate very clearly and effectively. I love that they use an app during the day and I can see my son’s day in real time. They do enriching activities and he has fun everyday. It’s so tough to leave your little one in the hands of others, but the DDC Smithfield, I know my son is happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend this daycare.”

“My daughter started at The Nurturing Nook when she was 2 years old, and it has been amazing to watch her growth and progress during her time there overall the past two years. From daycare to now transitioning into the preschool class downstairs, the development we’ve seen has been incredible.

Mrs. Jocelyn and Ms. J are wonderful teachers who genuinely care about the children and their learning. They are intentional about teaching important skills such as letters, colors, sound words, reading, and writing their names & much more all while creating a nurturing and supportive environment.

Every day, my daughter comes home excited to tell me what she learned in preschool which speaks volumes about the positive experience she is having. As a parent, there is so much comfort in knowing your child is in a place that truly cares about their well-being, growth, and development.

My husband and I are so grateful for the care, attention, and dedication the staff & the owner at The Nurturing Nook pour into the children each day. I highly recommend them to any family looking for a caring and educational environment for their little ones.”
