Awesome Audience and Super Staff! We were honored to entertain the students and staff with two…read moreshows at Beverly's Next Generation Children's Center with our musical ventriloquist comedy. Special thanks to the children who joined us in the first show to play tambourines, maracas, and drumsticks. In the second show for older children, others volunteered to demonstrate their new ventriloquial skills after choosing a puppet of their choice from the big drum case. Volunteers were encouraged to say their first name into the microphone and try moving the puppet's mouth three times as they said "One, Two, Three" with their new puppet voice. Special thanks to Mr. Jarod, the teacher who volunteered to be our HUMAN DUMMY! He wore our ventriloquist face mask, played the "ringy, dingy, thingy" and "sang" our "No Bully Zone" original song with Chelsea The Chimpanzee. (No, they did not sing at the same time... we're not that good!)

We have been at this daycare for 2 years and have had a wonderful experience. It is a loving and…read morecaring environment. They do "homework" in daycare to ensure they are advancing academically for their age. If there is a concern, such as speech, Lisa will have a discussion to allow you to take the next step. The weekly rate of the daycare is very affordable and includes snack and lunch. Our daughter loves going to this daycare and has made many friends and is right where she should be developmentally. I would highly recommend this facility.

My daughter had the exact experience as the review from Taylor. She was told she was a danger to…read morethe class and was dismissed from the childcare facility if you can even call it that. They singled her out and tried to tell me she dI'd not have ADHD because "she (audrey) has kids with adhd and they don't act like this". She was diagnosed with this by a psychiatrist. I asked on many occasions for the staff and director/ owner Audrey to meet with riverbend to make a plan on how to move forward with my daughter's behavior. Audrey would switch the conversation and state "she didn't want to stress me out". They left my daughter with her husband at the front entrance on her last day which made me incridably uncomfortable. Audrey also told me just as Taylor was told that "no other children behave like mine does." Weird Audrey, since another child was told the exact same thing. They told me that she could no longer go to the childcare center through a mere text. Her other daycare which we returned to despite the distance from my new job is helping return my bubbly 4 year to who she was prior to going here. My daughter never acted this way prior to going here. I worry about what happened her there since she is too young to be able to tell me. Most of her behavior is typical for a 4 year old. Even riverbend community mental health confirmed this for me. They hire young kids who do nothing but sit on their phones all day. I walked in on staff doing their makeup despite children being in the building already. I witnessed children in the halls unattended. When my daughter returned to her old daycare the staff and children cheered to see her again. When she left they sent her a box stuffed with gifts as a goodbye gift. her therpist tells me she's a "treasure of a young girl". They tack on an extra charge for those on state assistance which our current/old daycare never did. I asked Audrey many times what the cost of care would be and she told me the same as the other childcare since i had assistance. this was not true. And I didn't find out until afterwards despite basically begging for transparency as a single mom of two.

This school is absolutely terrible for childhood growth and development, especially for those…read morelittle ones who may have a disability. They've done nothing but single out my child, and called me on multiple occasions "Your child is a DANGER, I cannot keep anyone safe!" Meanwhile, he's four with Asperger's syndrome. They kicked out my son with a mere text message, without any kind of professional setting. When I went to go pick up my child's belonging all his art was completely soaked because they haphazardly placed an OPEN water bottle that was full. This seemed to have gotten worse when my husband and I immediately noticed an illegal transaction that was manually processed, for 430 dollars. We addressed this issue with them and it took a MONTH of blatant lack of accountability for their actions, to get any sort of refund. Since that, it seemed like they targeted my child. Jay/James/Jim Moran, the several different aliases that he's presented has a hefty criminal background (theft), knowing this doesn't surprise me now that I've done some research, that that money was illegally taken from our account. Audrey the owner also told my husband that my son "No one acts like your child in all of NH!" If this is how hostile this woman is towards mere 4-year-old shows how's the lack of integrity, and human decency, that she displays as an example to not only the children but the staff. I'm happy to bring this closing with positivity, my son is now being enrolled with an accredited school that specializes in childhood development, and one that has a disability. If you LOVE your child, do not make the mistake I did and bring your child here. I guarantee it'll only get damaged and a very upset child. Best regards

I email the staff at least once a week with a question or a food substitute for our son and receive an immediate response. Everyone who works there treats you with kindness and respect and you really feel like your child is part of a little family and our son truly loves his teachers!

The negative post made earlier this week is truly upsetting, as someone who has two children that…read moreare and have gone through this center - and have loved every second of it. From eight weeks old, to five years old, my daughter thrived at Discovery. The same teachers that she had, my son now has. The daycare is as clean as any daycare is going to be. I can tell you, it is more sanitary than my house, with two kids, at the end of a (week) end day with them. SO, how they keep it as clean as they do, with more than two kids in each room - is truly something. As for potty training - I actually give them credit for potty training my kids. My husband always say, "we got lucky!" but really, the teachers did it for us. Positive reinforcement, continual reminders, sticker charts - they did it all to make sure their potty days were successful ones. The staff is hands down the best, and so many have been there for so long. Most who are Moms, also have their kids there in other rooms. That speaks volumes to me. IN addition to that - there are several who have left for college, and come back for summers, or who leave hoping to make more money (because everyone knows how underpaid child education is) and then come back! Everyday, we get a print out and a hand written note about what our kids did that day, if they were happy/sad/sensitive, what they played with, etc. They spend so much time outside, that at tub time every night, we could make our own sandbox :-) In the bigger room, just before Kindergarten, they spend less time outside, but that is because they are preparing them for what lies ahead in Kindergarten! At my daughter's first parent/teacher meeting in Kindergarten - we were told that she is excelling, and far above where she is expected to be at this point, one month into the school year!! Could not be more proud, and owe that thanks to Discovery. Any concern, though there be few, are always thoughtfully addressed by the owner and the staff. The comments that the ratio of children to teachers is high depends on what your opinion is, really. The state has regulations - and they have as many kids as possible to teachers, in order to run a profitable business. Otherwise, why run the business? Discovery - you keep doing you. I'd send my kids there again in a heartbeat, and hope that the "one person who is saved" by the negative post from earlier (jeesh) reads *this* post - and realizes that from a MOTHER, (not a disgruntled employee) you'd be doing your kids, and yourself a favor - to send them to such a great school.

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.
