My step son just did us this fundraiser for school. As parents who care we feel obligated to…read moreparticipate. The cost f value embarrassing. I will never do this fundraiser again and will recommend to other organizers as well to look for something better - good old fashioned candy bars even for $2 would be better. It is ridiculously expensive. not only are you paying $30 for 12 oz of popcorn or nuts, They then hit you with a service fee 1.74 and $9.99 in shipping which you don't see until the end. Not everyone especially elderly people want to or have the ability to do things online. I would have rather given the $40 to the school so they would get all the money. We had so many people refuse to do this fundraiser for that reason - if this is charity, why charge a service fee, really ! Then we don't even have an option to have the product delivered in one place and pick it up. Yes, it's convenient in this day and age but you are certainly paying for that connivance now without a choices. who pays $150 for popcorn ??? I'm in marketing and this product is so cheap to produce the mark up is close to 100%- again for Charity. Just disgusting and the product is not even worth that price! The nuts we got liked and tasted old. Try to support your kids another way go get your school to just take checks! I'd love up even know how much of that money the kids actually see!!! This organization should be ashamed of themselves taking advantage of family and char organizations! I was a girl scout troupe leader, a CCD teacher and a cheer Coach, I know about fundraising. This is not it. Try canning we did great at it!

As long-term parents of LMS, we cannot say enough good things about the school. Our children have…read morecompleted the preschool cycle, the three-year lower elementary cycle, and are now in upper elementary, and throughout the process, the highly qualified staff and teachers have consistently encouraged them to be independent in their learning. As someone who specializes in education, I recognize the importance of self-motivation, and LMS has exceeded our expectations in promoting this for our children. The academic breadth and depth of learning at LMS have surpassed our expectations. Although some may worry that the "freedom" in learning styles may lead to falling behind, LMS has a packed, comprehensive, and individualized curriculum that is tailored to the needs and skills of each child. Additionally, standardized testing is introduced starting in fourth grade. The independence fostered at LMS, instead of being a constraint, I trust that it will benefit our children for a lifetime. In addition to the excellent academics, LMS also hosts numerous activities throughout the year to build a sense of community, including culture fest, ice cream socials, a 5k, book clubs, volunteering opportunities, farming, and many more. The children have had very few conflicts, if any, during our time at LMS, as the staff and teachers are conscientious and work closely with parents to address concerns as soon as they arise. Overall, we have been extremely satisfied with our experience at LMS and would highly recommend it to other families.

We moved to a different state, otherwise they would still be at this school.

Even in the short few years that we were there, I could see how being at the school made our kids more creative and gave them great social skills. Our kids still miss their old school.

Billy Dalwin Preschool is a fabulous community-based school. Each of our three daughters went…read morethrough the school and formed lasting friendships. The leadership and staff are so caring. My wife and I always felt supported as parents, the director and teachers were great parenting resources for us--we actually learned a lot from them, and they were always kind and attentive. We made great friends with other parents and teachers (many of whom are alumni parents, and some of whom are alumni themselves!) and found really deep community connections. Many of the teachers have been at the school for 10 years or longer. The outdoor grounds are incredible, with a beautiful wooded play area and learning space. There is a spirit of fun and caring at the school. The kids are able to explore Jewish traditions and learn the values and holidays, with special weekly Shabbat celebrations. My girls love the wiggles and giggles gross motor activities, dance, story hour and other special activities.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Billy Dalwin Preschool. From the moment my daughter…read morestepped foot inside the toddler class, she was greeted with warmth and love from the incredible staff. Rain or shine, they prioritize outdoor play time, which I greatly appreciate. The teachers are not only highly skilled but genuinely caring individuals who create a nurturing environment for the children. I'm thrilled that my daughter gets to participate in yoga classes, Kiddo Kinetics, music classes, and Shabbat sings. These activities not only promote physical well-being but also cultural enrichment. Going outside every day and the emphasis on arts and crafts allows her creativity to flourish while fostering important motor skills. Moreover, Billy Dalwin is not just a school; it's a tight-knit community. The camaraderie among parents, teachers, and children is palpable, making it a joy to be part of. I wholeheartedly recommend Billy Dalwin to any parent looking for a toddler class/ preschool that prioritizes holistic development and a supportive community. I have seen my daughter's language skills, motor skills, and overall confidence skyrocket since she started Billy Dalwin preschool 3 months ago and I can't wait to see how much more she's going to learn.

Everyone is so caring and very attentive, and as first time pre-school parents the staff really helped us be prepared and put us at ease. My son has food allergies and his teacher has been amazing to ensure they only provide snacks that are safe for him. Our son absolutely loves MWS and is excited to go to school each day. He comes home full of stories about the activities they did and stuff he learned. We especially enjoy the storyboard from Mrs. Levine's class that our 3 year old son can recite back all by himself. It's really a great school and overall community.

My Pre-K son, blossomed literally. The ratio student/teacher is low, the academic side is taught in a sensory way. Children learn at play. Every children is considered as a special person, they learn how to manage their emotions and how to interact with others. My daughter spent 3 years from toddler to Pre-K. Waverley Square was a second home, teachers were so kind that she even asked to go to school on week-ends and vacation. When entering into Kindergarten, she was emotionally and socially ready for this big jump. The little friends she met there, are still very important for her she is very connected with them even if they don't attend the same school. More than leading a classroom or a day care, the staff organizes many events through the year : Halloween, St Valentine's day, sports support (Go Red Soks! Go Patriots! Go!), St Patrick's Day, Dr Seuss' week, Mother's Day,.... As a parent, I felt as belonging to a great festive community!! I feel very grateful to Monoshini and her team for everything they have done for our children and our family.

They get tons of outdoor time and enrichment. Scheduling is flexible. After coming from another school in the area that did not meet expectations I can firmly say that changing to Pilgrim was the best choice I ever made for my child.

My child loves going to school at PNS.I feel like my child is learning a lot there and just not being babysat for three hours.

The teachers are all experienced and have taught there for many years. As a parent, I highly recommend going for a tour if you're looking for a small nursery school that will give your young child a great start in their school career.
