I would not recommend CCG to anyone after what my family and child were put through. The…read moreadministration is horrible and the board members are inexperienced and dysfunctional. I fell in love with the beautiful classrooms and the educational philosophy. But the reality is that the administration makes it a miserable environment for teachers and parents, and therefor children as well. I had prepared my child mentally for attending CCG for over a year during the pandemic, and we were the schools biggest fans. If someone had told me somethin negative about the school, I would not have listened and would want to believe that it was a wonderful place. A place cannot be good for children if it treats children with disregard and families are met with hostility. There's nothing I can do to take back the immense stress that was caused to my family and child. Please look elsewhere, save your family the stress. I too read a bad review, but wanted to believe it was just one disgruntled person. It is not worth putting your child in the hands of an act. Go to the Groton Community School instead, or a small intimate daycare in a neighboring town, or get a nanny. Anything else but CCG.

After a bad experience at another Montessori school in the Hollis area that failed to recognize our…read moredaughter's potential or provide the foundational skills she needed, we are so grateful to have found Country Village Montessori. The teachers at Country Village immediately recognized our daughter's potential, helped her catch up academically, and rebuilt the confidence that had been damaged at her previous school. We were thrilled to discover that art and creativity are a part of the inspiring schoolwork at Country Village Montessori so our daughter could come home every day proud of something that she created! Every child deserves a teacher who truly sees and believes in them. Claire and her team have made an incredible difference in our daughter's life, and we couldn't recommend Country Village Montessori more highly.

Teachers and staff are attentive and caring, and there is a perfect balance of focus on academic and social growth. My younger kids look forward to going to NCLC every day, and my older kids wish they could still go. During COVID, the center adapted quickly and opened up as soon as they were allowed to, with new processes in place that kept teachers and students as safe as possible. Contrary to an earlier review, families were not charged while the center was shut down.

However, this day care is still asking for families to pay for the day care that this facility will not be able to provide. My Christian friends, please do not pay for services that can never be provided. This isn't like asking for refunds because of snow days. This facility cannot at this time meet any of its obligations. These are tough times, and if you are blessed enough to help them with payments, then please continue. If you are also struggling during this time, talk to a lawyer. Either way, do not give them money for an obligation they cannot meet.

We've been taking our son to WCLC since he was only 3 months old (he's 3 now).  Initially there was…read moresome concern with communication from the center director at the time.  Within a few months that person had moved on and Ms. Haley had taken over as the director.  Since that time I could not be more impressed with the care that our son has received.  Ms. Haley was able to bring in amazing new teachers and assistants and they have all worked together to create a caring and educational environment that has allowed our son to thrive.  We get daily updates and pictures through the app that the center uses which greatly appreciated.  Another added bonus, that our son absolutely loves, is the occasional trip to the farm that is only a short walking distance from the center.  Every one of the teachers and assistants at the center has treated my son as if he was part of their family.  He loves them all and I take great comfort in knowing how much he enjoys his time there.  If you're looking for a new child care facility I can't recommend WCLC enough.  We've had opportunities to switch to facilities closer to our home and it has been the easiest decision to keep our son at WCLC.

My son has been here since he was 3 months old (2 now), so this is like his second home. The staff here are great and make it super comfortable to leave your child in their care for the day. Having been through infant, T1 and into T2 each transition was seamless and teachers were great. From learning to crawl and making friends, learning sign language, animal noises and nursery rhymes I am thoroughly impressed with my sons development. I can't speak highly enough of Ms Deanna (infant) and MS Debbie (T1/ T2)).

My son started this daycare as a painfully shy young kid, and he has grown so much. He loves the teachers and the kids there so much, they are super responsive with us; and I love him going there as well. We also had him picked up there for his preschool regularly and was great we were able to do that. Before sending my son here we had him going in Tyngsboro, MA (which was obviously a long drive there and back) because of how picky i was with daycares- but have nothing bad to say and honestly only praise with this one. Both myself, my son and my husband will be very sad when he will be full time in school and unable to come here regularly and hope my infant will be able to come here as well.

This is not a rant, this is a lengthy letter describing a factual recent event and should be read…read morethoroughly by parents who are contemplating this school as an option. To each their own, but here is my experience: The school is ran by teachers you'll never meet, and most if not all, seem to not be actual teachers with degrees but parents filling in to help, operated by a woman who will insult your child to your face while on the front steps of the school. They will give up on your child because of their inability to discipline or educate, that was made clear right away, when I was told they don't discipline. I was concerNed to hear this when the words came out of the woman's mouth (a few months back) but since meetings or proper discussions aren't a practice of theirs (always rushed with the door barely opened) I thought, this is a temporary babysitting space my daughter seems 2 enjoy, while we wait for our school of choice to have openings. Apparently my 4 year old took out her lunch instead of her snack so this means she has cognitive issues. Careful this place is dangerous, anyone who is NOT medically trained, who does not hold a degree in psychology or a phd, has NO RIGHT TO THROW MEDICAL LABLES ON YOUR CHILD because they simply claim to speak from experience. I have been a mother for 18 years, I am however not a trained professional in psychiatry, psychology, you won't see me labeling your child's physical or mental condition... Three kids, ranging from ages 18 to 4 and I have NEVER had a "teacher, school director" handle herself the way she did yesterday; this woman was seething with rage, like an old poodle! Throwing out a diagnosis of my child, while on the front steps of the school, a rushed conversation at pick up/drop off, while other parents are dropping off their kids... (Meeting like these are handled in a professional setting/manner in private, with supporting documents/notes to go over) & If you dare challenge the woman's un-educated diagnosis be prepared to get kicked off the property with the door slammed to your face while your child is still in the school! (don't worry I immediately removed my child from the erratic woman's grip, forcing myself back into the school, while this woman is screaming for the cops to be called, scaring the children, my child and Honestly everyone else)... As an expert parent however, having sent my three kids to several different schools over the years, what I can tell you with certainty is they have no idea how to educate children and clearly the tired director with twenty years experience should go on a leave of absence, she has no business being with small children. As for curriculum, the kids' daily activities are done on scrap paper, with writings on the back, looks like they tear paper out of old books or folders (not school related) and give to the kids to scribble On. Mind you it costs $255 a week. Your kids clothes and personal belongings will always be lost, misplaced or given to another child; we are out a sleeping bag, two pairs of shoes and at least 10 sweaters, I don't have the money to replace these items. When you ask for these items you will be told to wait phtisies, as you are never allowed in the school, for them to hand you over a bunch of items not one being your childs. Super shady. Back to my main point, they don't know how to discipline or teach toddlers, they will just tell you your child is the issue if your child is rambunctious, a toddler. Your 3 1/2, 4 year old child is the issue. Here's the kicker, they will not tell you anything to lead up to these claims or diagnosis. Over the last 8 months I was told twice (at pick up on these lovely front steps, with the door half open, her wretched head sticking out) that my child was a bit "tough" today... but that's it. So Let this sink in, you could be told your child has abnormal behaviors and these should be assessed, out of the blue, while standing on the front steps of this dump whole, with other parents around, and if you dare ask questions or offer tips or challenge the behavioral diagnosis, you will be kicked off the property, door slammed in your face... My daughter is now 4, she attends two other programs (gym and play group) and these two other businesses could not believe what was said by this woman about my typical 4 year old, shocked but mostly astonished as to how this was brought up to me. This school is a dump whole, and I am riddled with guilt for leaving my baby in their care over the last 8 months! I can't stress this enough, if it doesn't feel right, even though "it must be" and your child seems happy, pull your kid out or investigate.. do your due diligence. Because she's my third, I assumed she was ok even though the school didn't seem amazing or ideal, I ignored the little red flags. Shame on me. Shame on this school for being opened

Caitlin's place is more than a daycare, my son is open to trying any food because caitlin dedicates giving the kids food. She feeds them the most healthy food you can think of. Caitlin is also amazing in communicating, i have another child who is older and he was in daycare when he was a kid and i can say for a fact that my older kid never got this level of care in other daycare he was enrolled in. Caitlin also does so much activities with the kids, from writing on walkways, painting, sitting outside and watching the trash truck, watching her chickens and learning from educational shows on TV. My child was not so friendly before he started, my child is so friendly and always ready to say hello or hi to everyone. Caitlin's place is not a sleep or play on your own daycare, she always has activities she does with this kids. They get nap time but they do a lot of educational activities. My son knows his alphabet, his numbers, colors and can identify certain things looking at pictures. My son is always happy and never fussy when dropping him off at daycare. Finally, Caitlin's place is amazingly clean. If you ever think of taking your little one to a daycare Caitlin's place should be an option, this is coming from a mother who is very protective of her kids.

The infant teacher, Meegan, is the most creative infant teacher I've seen. Our daughter makes lots of little crafts that we're going to treasure forever. The only thing that's keeping me from giving them 5 stars is that they don't really have a good playground for the kids to play outside. But the place is still fairly new so hopefully if they ever move to a bigger location (which they might need to soon because it's filled up quickly!), they'll hopefully find a place with a bigger playground.
