I called Sherri on Monday about 9 am and it all dropped off to her by 11am. She was very friendly and is looking to help as many people as she can. The closest I brought her were in excellent condition, if you know of any woman that need clothes please seek her out she has not only woman's clothes but clothes for men and children. Let's not make the business's that sell any richer and let's help spread kindness by helping with just what have for resources and from the kindness of our hearts. Please help her get her goods to homes that are in need.

I called this American Legion in Pelham NH and the bartender I spoke with was extremely friendly. I think she could tell my desperation as I had a surprise 30th birthday for my boyfriend but no longer anywhere to host it. The bartender explained they had another party booked that night but had canceled so she couldn't confirm until she got a bartender and the manager to confirm as well. She called me back in less then ten minutes and within that hour had the cleaning crew there and people to help me set up the hall. This hall was clean and inviting. The staff was exceptionally friendly and went beyond the call of duty..moving with a sense of urgency and helping me make everything happen on time. I could not have been more satisfied with this American Legion. Can't thank them enough for helping me make the night happen!!!

I have learned so much as an early child educator from the teacher mentors I have met along the way. As an employee I feel supported by management and my coworkers. I have had the joy and pleasure to be in the lives of some fantastic kids and families. Anyone looking to work in the early education field should consider a career at NGCC Andover.

This transition was tough for him and myself as he had a horrible ending to his last daycare. I initially got a gut feeling when I toured which is why I chose it. I was overjoyed and pleasantly surprised with how consistently happy/friendly/caring the staff are day after day. I truly feel that my son is loved there everyday by all the teachers and management not just his primary teachers. And the management team appears flawless/kind and a pleasure to work with! I could go on but truly we LOVE it here that sums it up!

Even though it's only because of COVID, I really appreciate reserving time slots for using the facility. Downside to being a guy who gyms for 2 hours, the slots are only for 1 hr. The renovated locker room looks so much better since precovid (I used boys room, until I found the grown ups room). The adult locker rooms are reminiscent of my middle/high school days. As for the fitness center, most things I need like bench, squat and deadlifts is pretty secluded from the dumbbell area and cardio machines. Doing this for my cousin, so we'll see how he feels about working out once the 30 days are up.

I'm baffled by the only other review of Half Pints. I can only assume this person is either a very…read moredisgruntled parent or a, ex-worker. A Yelp member with only one review that is a 1 star is always suspect and I'm surprised that the Yelp filter did not hide it. In the time our child has been at Half Pints, everyone that works here have nothing but professional and bright. Cathy the owner is 100% the complete opposite of what the other reviewer stated. She is friendly, warm, engaging and an extremely knowledgeable at running a large daycare center. Any issues we have brought to her have always been handled right away and with extreme professionalism. She truly has always put our child's care first above of money. The comment about her being only concerned about money is actually laughable. We have always made our daycare payments on time. I'd imagine if parents were behind with their payments, they would be spoken to about it. Perhaps the other reviewer couldn't pay on time and got a warning, as they should. All the teachers at HPLC work extremely hard to care for our infants, toddler, and kids and they deserve to be paid for it. After going on many tours and comparing rates, they were right around the middle of the road. In fact, they are the only center we found that offer 10 days of free tuition to use for vacation or sick days. The co-directors, Cathy, Amy or any of the teachers at HPLC are always available to chat with or ask questions. It's a great comfort that they have a nurse on site, the co-director Amy. The center itself is modern, well equipped with toys, activities and is very safe with a security system and controlled access. The indoor gymnasium is an amazing addition that most centers do not have. Perfect for days it is too hot, wet or cold to go out in. Our child has been thriving here and has learned a lot from her teachers and socializing with other children. Everyone we have interfaced with has extensive knowledge and experience to be in this profession. I don't get the comment about teachers always being on phones. HPLC has a strict no phone during work policy and they enforce it. I highly recommend checking them out for your child.

I met with Karen, the director, after a girlfriend of mine recommended them. We walked throughout the entire school, not just the infant room- which is what we needed. The do in house field trips! They go all the way up to kindergarten, and while touring, I could tell all the staff and kids were happy. This is important to me, as I want the best for my child. They have a chef! They introduce nutritional meals and plant a seed of understanding food groups at a young age, to instill healthy food choices as they grow. I LOVE THIS! I was talking to a neighbor mom who couldn't understand why they would have a chef, and to ME, it's important. Because cooking, prepping, rationing out snacks and meals, is tough sometimes. I run a business and manage an office, and my husband works starting his days at 630 at a glass contracting facility, so we are BUSY! Knowing my daughter can get the proper attention and great food, makes me feel VERY confident that I'm providing her with the best school. They have monitors and video cameras, which helps me feel the kids are safe. There's monitors in the front lobby. Everything was clean, everything was labeled, and it felt like they're managed very well. From sign language, to educational groups, to the hands on staff- I just feel this is the best center in town. I literally cried in the parking lot! My only complaint is the price. It's nearly double what other daycares nearby offer! Their full-time rate is 500$. I understand they offer a LOT and it's the best of the best, but 3-400 range would be more appropriate in my opinion. Worth the tour! the kids will thrive! This is our dream daycare!

I certainly was extra stressed with the process of getting twins acclimated to the daycare environment at 15 months (they were at home with a nanny before this), but everyone from the the teachers and staff and director helped make the process work. They girls have their primary teacher, but are constantly interacting with different groups of kids and teachers and staff. This has been wonderful in getting them accustomed to new people outside of the school environment. They used to be very shy about meeting new people but its a comfortable process being in new places now. The school also helps me as a first time mom with many questions I'll have about different things the kids experience. An added bonus that extends beyond the school environemnt!
