    Mary Jo's Daycare

    Our son was in Mary Jo's daycare in Cambridge and we were thrilled with the care she provided him…read more Under her care, he absolutely thrived. He enjoyed his time at her care tremendously, so much in fact that we often had to drag him out at the end of the day. We believe quality of care and flexibility set Mary Jo apart: Quality of Care: Mary Jo's philosophy of creative play including daily field trips outside to playgrounds, libraries, supermarkets, and local shops has shaped our son into an extroverted, outdoors enthusiast. The regular reading she does with the kids as well as the mix of structured and unstructured play, crafts, and music has really helped our son and many kids in her care thrive over the last 30 years she has been in business. In our research, we found that so many daycares rarely take their kids outside, much less to the variety of public spaces Mary Jo frequents with the kids on a daily basis. This really differentiates her care and makes her daycare an attractive and unique choice for parents that want their kids to be well-rounded, healthy, and more worldly. Flexibility: Unlike other daycares, Mary Jo has much more flexible hours and regularly accommodates parents with irregular schedules. She always adheres to ratio guidelines, but this flexibility has allowed us to work a part-time schedule and drop off our son during doctor's appointments when she has openings. We have not found this to be the case elsewhere and it really sets Mary Jo apart as a family-friendly daycare that thinks of the whole family's needs. Because of the quality of care and flexibility, many families stay with Mary Jo until their kids go off to kindergarten. We also know she had kids come in the afternoons after preschool. It is this kind of loyalty which brought us to Mary Jo's in the first place.

    Mary Jo is an amazing day care provider and a beloved neighborhood institution. You couldn't ask…read morefor a more loving, supportive, creative environment for a child's development.

    We made the switch from another daycare provider to Next Gen when my daughter was 4. We were both…read moreunsure of how it would go (change is tough!), but looking back I wish we had moved earlier. Next Gen staff clearly care about the families, the community, and each other. The center is clean, the staff fun, and the Directors responsible and experienced. They hold everyone to high standards of care. Sadly, this is the complete opposite of our previous center. Though we have only interacted with some teachers (starting at 4 means we skipped a few classes!), all have been wonderful. My daughter is getting ready for Kindergarten, made fantastic friends, and regularly makes cards for her teachers (just because she adores them). I no longer stress about the care she is receiving, if she will be behind in school, or if the teachers are treated well (phew!). I will note the cost is higher and the hours more limited (close earlier) than our other center. Thankfully, we were able to manage both; totally worth it!

    Extremely impressed! After a tour, I was extremely comfortable with how clean and attentive the…read morestaff were. After multiple weeks here, I could not be happier. The communication, the staff, the love is beyond my expectations. Director Kim has been amazing in answering questions and Ms.Ally is my sons favorite teacher and has gone above and beyond! Can't recommend Next Generation enough (and I've done a lot of tours in daycares)! Don't hesitate to send your little one here. They are in great hands!

    This place used spray paint indoors with ZERO ventillation, so the kids were breathing harsh…read morechemicals when I came for pickup. Who knows how long they were breathing those poisons. The "adult" in the room - an older woman - didn't even seem to think anything was wrong with the fumes in the classroom! Thank GOD this place is shut down - you could not pay me to send my kids to these women for care.

    This is a review for the PTG Concord Strawberry Hill Day Care Center: It is *NOT* a place I would…read morerecommend for parents who are interested in a loving, well-organized, usefully-structured, learning environment for their children. The Center is inexpensive relative to others in the area and the low quality is consistent with the low price. The low quality begins with the Center Director, who seems to be a decent person (really, she truly is nice and decent in conversation), but does not appear particularly well-trained for management or truly competent in running a business. Her main reason for coming to work seems to be to spend time with her children. If you visit the Center, look for her in one of the rooms with her children, as she appears to be there more often than in her office working on Center business. The Director does not communicate effectively with parents and does not take any obvious leadership role in training her staff. For example, *none* of the teachers are trained to greet parents or children when they arrive at the Center, either for pickup or drop-off, although this is a standard practice at other Centers. In addition, the Director recently *sent an email blaming the parents* after the Center was cited by the state for having too few teachers per student in one of the classrooms. The teachers are quite nice and care about the kids. They could be warmer with the parents. The high school students and younger teachers are the most caring. There is also one excellent teacher who works with toddler-age kids and one who works with the pre-school kids. The older teachers seem to like the kids, but there is not a sense of love at the center like at lots of other centers. Place To Grow Concord also has a significant tick problem that it cannot seem to solve (we have found ticks on our kid twice after school!). The school has tried to solve this problem, but it is so close to the woods that it is hard to fix. Also, the rooms, except for the Pre-School rooms are pretty small. The center runs a Montessori Pre-school Program, but I'm not sure it is effective in preparing kids for kindergarten or in inspiring them to learn. The biggest issue, though, is the Center Director, who, despite running a very small center, seems to be disinterested in the job and overwhelmed. It is quite a shame, because the Center has a number of teachers with high potential and a decent but small outdoor play area. Overall, we are glad that we got our kid out of there when we did and are sure that our kid will learn more and have a more loving environment in the new center. Perhaps Place to Grow can realize its potential once the current director's kids graduate and she moves on... The owner seems quite capable and does seem to care about the center.

This speaks volumes to the culture Fred and Nina have created. Safe, clean, caring, fun, and so many attributes that make this the best school we could have ever asked for!!

    I have nothing but amazing things to say about Goddard! We started when our daughter was about a…read moreyear old, and the teachers were amazingly supportive with the transition. Now our daughter is in a two-year old class and the teachers are helping her learn the alphabet and numbers and colors and are even doing a ton to help with toilet training, which is amazing. Every day, our little girl comes home learning something new--talking better, counting to ten...it's amazing. And she's happy! One thing I love about the school is that the owners are really great about communicating with us as parents, and the teachers are too. We actually get a daily e-mail (also communicated through an app on our phone) with pictures of our daughter and details ranging from what she ate to when she pooped to all of the activities that they did and how they enhanced her learning in different areas like social skills or gross motor movement or math or language. There's also usually a picture of her and there's always a "memorable moment" from her day. The classes at Goddard are small compared to other childcares, which has been great in terms of giving our daughter individualized attention as well. In short--I cannot recommend Goddard highly enough. As a parent, I feel safe and secure and confident sending my daughter here!

    Kindercare claims that they give preference to existing families, when they have a need to transfer…read moretheir child from one location to another. This is totally untrue based on my recent experience- I am an existing family and toured them on Monday - 6/17/19. After completing the tour, I mentioned that we are checking out other locations of Kindercare in the neighborhood, to see what works best for us and will reach out shortly with a decision. Thursday, 6/20/19, I received a VM from this location saying the spot isn't available anymore because another family that toured the place confirmed that they would take the spot. They also mentioned that they gave away the spot because they never heard from us. There are 3 days between Monday-Thursday. I'm sure they can do the math. Friday, 6/21/19, when I called them to find out why they never reached out to let me know that there was another family who had expressed interest- I would have expected a courtesy call before giving that spot away to another family given that I am an existing Kindercare parent. To that, the woman said - "they toured the place before you, and besides you mentioned that you were looking at other locations". Ok but was that family an existing kindercare family? I got a "yes". I totally don't believe her and there is no way for me to find out if she was lying. I'm not upset that we lost the spot, because I made other arrangements immediately after getting the VM. I just didn't appreciate the way they handled this.

Especially as my…read morewife is a teacher, it was also important for us that our child not only be cared for, but also be able to socialize, learn, and grow. Kindercare on Hayward Rd. in Acton, MA went beyond our highest expectations to put all our worries at ease and foster our child's foundational skills for academic and social growth. They made us feel welcome and appreciated from the moment we stepped in for our tour. Our child is not only a student but also a member of the family in her classroom. Thanks to the teachers at Kindercare, our child has become a social butterfly and is able to initiate conversations, initiate and engage in play (stacking blocks, singing songs, passing and holding toys and balls) and feed herself with and without utensils. Kindercare follows our nap and feeding schedule, provides us with daily updates and pictures, and is there for us no matter what we need. We are so grateful to have found Kindercare on Hayward Rd. and would highly recommend it to any parent!
