I think that they just don't have the experience or expertise to work effectively with children who may need a little something different. As for the actual day? It's very structured, with very little outdoor time, and high staff turnover. In the three months we were there, our sons had three different primary teachers for the classroom. I wonder: if we had been there for 12 months, would our sons have had 12 teachers?!?! Bright Horizons had come very highly recommended to us, but we were terribly disappointed. We're now in a preschool with a play-based curriculum, plenty of outdoor time and teachers who have been with the program for several years, and our kids are thriving.

On first look the facilities look amazing - a great indoor place space, a fantastic art studio but…read morethe place the kids spend most of their time is the classroom that we had 2 independent experts tell us it was small and cramped with furniture for 9 kids 2 teachers and parents coming and going all day. Our son didn't last even 3 months in the toddler program because they deemed he was 'aggressive'. Yet he has displayed none of those behaviors at his new, more spacious daycare. So much time is unstructured play that if kids don't yet know how to play on their own they end up a bit lost. At least that's how Early Intervention explained their observations of BH Sudbury. Bright Horizons say all the right things but in our experience rarely actually followed through on the things that were going to make a difference. When an action plan was put together the staff were 3 weeks late putting together a cozy corner to help the kids have a relaxing space for when they got distressed. That was what upset us the most they didn't seem to put the action that would have benefitted our son first. We care that other children were being affected, which is why we acted immediately upon being informed it was a growing concern. Initially they said it wasn't a problem and deemed just toddler behavior between the children until the center could not cope. It felt like that they had decided that he became too much hassle and because they can fill the available space ten times over it seemed to us they just couldn't be bothered. They asked for our agreement to bring in 2 outside agencies, Early Intervention and Enable who could not start with the center until Dec 4th and yet he was asked to leave on Dec 11th. Enable had not even completed their assessment of the situation or plan to support the center and our family. Early Intervention had been only twice. When we offered to pay for an additional teacher to support the center it was deemed not necessary in the early stages and we should wait for the intervention of the supporting agencies. But they never gave the experts the time to help. All this coupled with the fact that we signed an agreement the week before our son was due to start and the center director got the price wrong on the contract and she also told us she had made a mistake while we were on the wait list and that the place she had reserved for us was no longer available makes our overall experience of Bright Horizons Sudbury very unsatisfactory. It's not like we are biased against Bright Horizons our son went to Bright Horizons Wellesley for 3 months while we were on the wait list for Bright Horizons Sudbury and we can't fault them. During the process we would have done anything to keep our son at Bright Horizons Sudbury, in the end you couldn't have paid us to keep him there.

They are attentive to our child and provide us with daily updates. Verna, the director, is always available via call or text whenever we need to reach out. Our son receives daily one-on-one therapy sessions from Early Intervention and ABA. The staff has been amazing and very accommodating to our child's schedule. Even his therapists have noticed the positive changes in our son since attending Little Creek Academy. I highly recommend Little Creek Academy for your child if you are currently seeking a daycare facility!

There is times when I was picking up my child and the teachers are all on there phones and ignoring all of the children right Infront of me.

There is a huge turn over rate for teachers, I know something was weird when all the great teachers left the facility and were replaced. The state that the school is a Montessori school, but I hardly ever saw anything of that matter. The school randomly decided to close for a whole week for the week of fourth of July. They gave the parents a months notice. I reached out to the director about how I was not able to get this time off. Being a single mother. She didn't care and was super rude to me. There is no structure in this facility and its sad because it use to be a great day care. Please do not send your children here.

She explained the resources available to us through early intervention and private providers, going above and beyond her responsibilities. She helped us navigate the complex process of getting the right support for our son, and her staff was always available to provide input to his providers. As first-time parents, having advocates who knew our child so well was invaluable. The daily updates through their app brought us peace of mind, and over the two and a half years our son attended, we accumulated over 3,000 photos. The transparency and communication were wonderful--we always felt informed about what was happening while our child was in their care. Suzie and the teachers never hesitated to make time for conversations, and our son was always excited to go to school to see his friends and teachers. What more could you ask for? We would not hesitate to send another child to Kiddie Time!

I honestly can't say enough about Kiddie Time - I highly recommend it to any parents. Miss Amanda and Miss Alandra are so special.

Reiko Sensei does a phenomenal job in really getting to know each child and takes a keen interest in their development and growth which is evident during our regular parent teacher conferences. LKA dedicates a tremendous amount of energy and thought into their curricula and incorporates various cultures and languages in their regular teaching. They have music and art class and have various events throughout the school year. Each sensei is welcoming, loving, gentle, and understanding. We get daily photos and videos and daily updates w their activities and curricula and it's one of the highlights of my day! Our son's social skills and speech improved tremendously after joining LKA and he enjoys his school days so much that he recently asked to extend his days until 5:30pm! His younger sister will also be joining the LKA family in a couple of months and his soon to be born baby sister will follow in their footsteps. From the moment I do school drop off, I know that my child will be cared for and loved and that is priceless. I cannot say enough good things about Reiko Sensei, all of the senseis, and LKA and I highly recommend LKA !
