We love First Circle! Our daughter has been here almost a year and the teachers take extraordinary care of the little ones, with so much love, learning, and silly fun throughout the day. They're also so helpful in helping our daughter progress and become independent. Big shoutout to Amber and Naomi in infant 3! And to Clay and Kaitie for jumping in to help whenever needed! read more

We love this place! My job forces us to travel often, and I wanted some stability for my son. First Circle provided that and lots of love, care, and patience. I can not speak more highly of the staff! read more

We absolutely love First Circle! For over a year, they have provided a warm, nurturing, educationally and socially rich environment where our child has really thrived. We have never had any doubts that our kiddo is safe, loved, and well-cared for at First Circle! read more

We are so lucky to live close to this excellent center where our children have blossomed starting as infants and continuing through Pre-K. We have been there now for over 2 years and experienced almost the entire curriculum through our two children. The other students, the teachers, the staff are all wonderful. We are also grateful for extended hours and rare closures. read more

We've been at First Circle for 1.5 years and we love it. The teachers are knowledgeable, professional, warm and caring. Everyone in the center knows every kid and their families. I especially love that management clearly cares for their teachers and there's no turnover like in many day cares. They have done an exceptional job during COVID and we couldn't be more happy! read more

I was on a search for a quality childcare program for my then 12 month old baby. I had just moved to Woburn and wanted something in the vicinity. I visit a few programs and despite many of the positives, I always had a list of areas I was not so fond of. Until I visited First Circle in Lexington. I loved that the school was located in a residential neighborhood and off of the main road. It is on conservation land with ample parking (and never a problem with busy drop off and pickup times) and wonderful space for the babies/toddlers/children to play in the back, in an enclosed safe space. I was greeted by Stephanie, who was so warm. She engaged with my daughter and was so patient with me and my million first time mom questions. The entire day care space that the babies/toddlers/kids are in so not have floor to ceiling walls, making it feel so open and large. Additionally, it means you can see into the next classroom. This feels so comforting as a parent- to know that all teachers can see one another and the kids already are familiar with the teachers and children in the next class that they transition into. The staff are all so warm, caring, loving and skilled. It was a difficult transition for me (and my little!) but I knew she was safe and cared for and it made the transition easier. My daughter is now in her last year at First Circle and my newborn has been there since 3 months. I am so very thankful for both of their care and for their development in each of their class. Look no further- this is the best childcare program! read more

Our experience at First Circle has been great. The staff is brilliant; happy, organized and dedicated to making each child feel loved. The learning that goes on in First Circle is outstanding - from the songs, to manners, treating each other with kindness, little tricks to put on coats and the more substantial numeracy and phonics development. My husband and I were constantly impressed at our son's development while at First Circle. You can feel confident that your child is getting the best of everything; well planned curriculum, consistent communication with parents and large open area outside for children to play. We are forever grateful to First Circle for making our son love learning and school! read more

We have been with First Circle for all three of our kids (it'll be 11 years by the time the youngest graduates!), so needless to say we love this daycare center! We have consistently found the teachers and staff to be caring, kind, and supportive. Particularly during the hardships of COVID-19, the center has been excellent, always on top of any necessary changes, and has kept our kids safe. read more

We have been at First Circle for the last six years with our two children (one who is on to elementary now.) It is the best school I can imagine, and we are a family of teachers so very picky ;) The owners, director and all administration are organized, communicate well and are just kind people who clearly care about children and having a great school. The teachers are just as amazing, great with the kids and implement a solid curriculum that keeps learning fun for the kids. All the teachers know all the kids and maintain relationships with them even when they move to the next classroom. They have an amazing playground, outdoor classroom and special classes like sports, yoga and music. Finally, we have felt very safe with our son there during covid. They have taken appropriate precautions while still maintaining a place that kids want to be each day, not an easy thing to do right now! We are so thankful for First Circle! read more

My son is 2.5 and has been at First Circle since 4 months old. Everyone at First Circle is amazing. The teachers are caring, compassionate and for them, it seems like they genuinely consider their work more than just a job. The director and admins listen, respond and bend over backwards to accommodate requests. The outdoor space for the kids can't be beat too. You don't realize how much you'll appreciate this until you have an energetic toddler who comes home having had a lot of good exercise that day. I was originally skeptical about the open concept (they have partitions and furniture and segment the classrooms), and it took a while for my son to adjust at nap time when he was an infant; but it allows for the kids to see and interact with each other (pre-COVID -- they have strict and reassuring guidelines right now). Recently, my 2 year old has been getting into the car at night and saying, "Want to go back to school, Mommy." I can't say enough good things. read more

Our older son started at First Circle in Toddler 3 and just graduated PreK last year. Our youngest started in the Infant One room this year. We couldn't be happier with the care shown to our boys. The center has a family run feel with the benefits of a childcare center. The teachers are attentive to the children and maintain open lines of communication with the parents. We also appreciate the play based learning. Your children will be cared for in a safe and loving environment and will have fun while learning! read more

We looked at several daycares in the area when we were looking for our 4-month old son, and First Circle really stood out. We were excited when we got in, and we are definitely happy with our decision. They are well-managed and have a high staff retention rate. The teachers are happy there and they bring that joy to their caring for the children. They really love and care for our son. He loves it there too - plenty of play and activities and First Circle has an outstanding outdoor space. It's more than a daycare; it truly is a learning center where the kids build character, learn academic, social and emotional skills. Our little one is over a year old now and has learned so much through play at First Circle. read more

Nice daycare in a good zone. Nice playground and teachers. When my son went there teacher turnaround was more often than desired, but this could've changed. Had some issues with administration that made me think they need to be better organized. read more

We sent our daughter here. She started at Infant Two and went to Toddler. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The teachers are caring and I feel like she gets a lot of love from them. She has blossomed here, learning to walk, talk, eat with spook/fork, etc. They have a nice toddler playground separate from the big kids playground which my daughter loves. We left only because we are relocating to another city, and we are going to miss First Circle. Highly recommend! read more

This is the "Taj Mahal" of daycare centers. The facility is gorgeous. The staff is warm, capable, experienced and loving. The administration is communicative, efficient and responsive. I'd recommend it without hesitation. read more
