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.

Our son was enrolled at CCG from age 6 months until we moved out of the area two years later…read more During that time, the teachers at CCG became like extended family. They knew our boy better than we did sometimes, and gently shared with us what they had learned about watching him with his peers. The level of care, creativity, and playful instruction given to students at CCG is unparalleled. Thank you for everything you did for our family!

They provide constructive feedback on progress, strengths and weaknesses, and areas of improvement. They work with us to ensure consistency between home and school. I love how the teachers rotate activities and the dramatic play areas throughout the month to match holidays, seasons, etc. Our son is still talking about the play teepee and Thanksgiving-themed dress up. Most of all, we appreciate how the teachers work with the kids' energy and direct them towards the activities that suit their personality and learning style best, rather than stifling it. As well as ensuring sufficient outside play time for the kids. Our only complaint is that we did not make the switch to ACS sooner.

Our children started at Family Tree as infants and stayed through their early childhood years. Even…read morenow, two years later, they still ask to go back and visit in the summers--that's how much this place meant to them (and to us). The owners and staff are truly exceptional--warm, nurturing, and genuinely invested in every child. There's a genuine family feel at Family Tree, and we've formed lasting connections. As a school psychologist, I've been consistently impressed by the center's thoughtful curriculum and the way social-emotional learning is seamlessly woven into the day. The focus on school readiness--academically, socially, and emotionally--gave our kids such a strong foundation. They also loved the amazing crafts, engaging science projects, and hands-on learning experiences that sparked their curiosity and creativity. We're so grateful for the years we spent at Family Tree--they gave our children such a loving, enriching start. And we're not alone--every Family Tree family we've met has felt the same deep appreciation. If you're looking for a place to truly entrust with your child's care and early learning, I couldn't recommend Family Tree more highly.

My daughter had a very positive experience from age three to almost six. She hit all developmental…read moremilestones and each one of her teachers were loving kind and supportive. Completely opposite experience with my son. Due to high staff turnover, my son was not able to receive the care and support that my daughter did. After a dozen evaluations recommended by leadership, my son was not diagnosed with any developmental deficiencies or behavioral problems and did not qualify for special needs or IEP programs. The frequency that I was contacted to complain about my son doing things that are age appropriate (bathroom accidents, sensory processing, not sitting still during circle time, etc) was astoundingly unnecessary, we chose to place him in a different childcare center as there is a pattern of toddler boys being terminated for similar and worse reasons.

They partner with parents to give the very best care to your child, and cares for them deeply. They are remarkable with their curriculum, our daughter left there and went to a private school for Kindergarten. The K teachers remarked that our daughter was very well prepared to enter K - this was a credit to what WWC had taught her. I just cannot say enough good things about this school. It is not a big box preschool, it is small. They may not have the facilities that a big school may have but they have what matters most, they have talented, educated, dedicated, loving teachers that treat each child like their own.

Our child recently completed his time at Acorn (he started as an infant), and we could not have…read morebeen happier with his care there! We were apprehensive about sending him to daycare, but it was immediately clear that he was in a safe, loving environment. Everyone on the team was genuinely happy to see him each day. They showed interest in the things that were important to him and incorporated his interests into his learning and development. From a logistics standpoint, staff were communicative, responsive, and attentive. The team handled our child's multiple food allergies professionally and confidently. We received detailed, personal updates daily. Even teachers and staff that weren't in his classroom knew our child and supported his growth and learning. They were flexible and supportive when we needed to change his schedule for several months to accommodate a family emergency, and were open to amenable to our preferences with big milestones (e.g., potty training). I'm not the type to write reviews, but I couldn't let my child leave Acorn without offering the kind of input I wish I'd had when we were first researching daycare options. Highly recommend this lovely team.

Professional childcare educators do not apply to this Center! They are unprofessional and do not…read morefollow best practice procedures. To begin with, I applied here as an infant teacher and later found out that teachers were not following safety procedures such as hand washing with the children and leaving teachers out of ratio. As a child care professional, I have always washed children's hands after their diaper changes even in the infant classroom. Also, when I worked with one of the floating staff, she placed a one year old in a time out! When these concerns were brought to the head teacher and office, we did not see eye to eye. The owners and director blamed me for "gossiping." Which is completely opposite for what I was doing. Next, they do not take the infants outside! I tried to stress with the staff how important it is to get these children outside for fresh air. The children were bored. There were not many activities for them to keep busy. In conclusion, I was out sick one day and I sent a message an hour before my shift. The office gave me a hard time because I did not message them two hours before. I was unable to send them a message out there specific time, but made sure I messaged them as soon as I could. I was let go in an unprofessional manner and was not given any warnings before the day that they let me go. A week or two before my dismissal date I asked the head teacher and office how things were going overall with me and everybody said that I was doing a great job. Beware and do your research before accepting a job at this establishment.
