If you look at their google reviews it appears that communication is a constant issue for them.

An absolutely great daycare. My daughter has been at KB since she was three months old (she is now…read morealmost 2). For anyone contemplating that first drop off after maternity leave, you know its not easy! The staff at KB couldn't have eased my transition back to work anymore, they were kind, flexible and caring. The teachers in the infant room are truly passionate about the care they provide their babies and as the babies grow, it is clear they love their teachers too. Its not unusual to find several older babies hugging one of the teachers there. The infant room teachers do a great job keeping parents involved in their kids' milestone development and help in the transition from bottles to solid food. They truly feel like a part of your family and help to trouble shoot any issue your baby may be having. After they infant room our daughter transitioned to the first toddler room and they made sure that transition was as smooth as possible. They recognize that little kids have a hard time with change but they make it very easy on them and gradually have them spend more time in their new rooms. Our daughter absolutely loves the toddler room- not only is it such a fun indoor space with a huge play area but she also loves her teachers and friends (and talks about them at home often). The teachers are creative in all their activities with and it is clear that the kids just love being there. It is not unusual for us to go pick our daughter up and have to wait a while for her to finish showing us all the things she's playing with. Sometimes we're sure she doesn't want to come back home so soon! Another great thing about KB is that the kids love it but also they learn a lot. Finally, the center is great with parents. They understand that if a child is at daycare it means parents likely work and have busy schedules. The center director is approachable, understanding and flexible. I am about to have my second baby (who will definitely be in the infant room later this year) and they are great about not just guaranteeing that baby #2 will enroll but also in saving my older daughter's spot since she'll likely be out while I'm on maternity leave. I simply don't have enough good things to say about the staff and the space at KB. I highly recommend this center.

Our toddler started at SolBe on day one of the school opening. We had very high hopes after our…read moreinterview, despite the cost being much higher than the alternatives. For the added expense, we were promised minute by minute updates, a two-to-one ratio of teachers to students, and a focus on education that could be overlooked elsewhere. Unfortunately, despite an excellent experience with the Director and our son's first teacher, a significant change was made after a few months. The Director, along with many more staff members, were replaced, and the focus seemed to shift notably towards higher profits and cost cutting measures. Our son was moved into a much larger room where there were often two teachers for eight babies, even after they showed up late. The stress put on the staff still making an effort meant that the "minute-by-minute" updates through the app were ignored until the afternoon when they played catch up while all the kids were napping. Often, we wouldn't find out if our son had eaten or had a diaper change until hours after he'd been picked up. The high ratio also contributed to clothes being lost or ruined with art materials unsuitable for infants, diaper changes being skipped, brusies and scrapes, and a near weekly changeover of staff who were clearly frustrated with the experience as well. Our son's class shared a changing room with another, and it was very common to hear the teachers there, unaware they were being observed, repeatedly screaming at the toddlers "everyone come here" and "be quiet". Another thing for prospective families to consider is that SolBe considers themselves a school first and a daycare second. On the average month, SolBe closes around three working days for holidays, conferences, and "teacher enrichment", meaning that working parents will suddenly have a child to account for (not even to mention the frequency that they contact you and ask you to bring your child home early because they "seem like they're not feeling so well', with no other symptoms than a low fever and a lack of energy; a very common experience for young kids). Obviously, the monthly cost is the same regardless of how many days they actually care for your child. Ultimately, we found another center that is offering 5 nine-hour days a week for the same price that SolBe was charging for 3 seven-hour visits. The new school doesn't have a fancy app or gourmet lunches, but we feel our child is a lot more than just an income source in their eyes, and we're much happier. (FYI- This review refers to the new location on Sherman Road, which doesn't have its own listing as of this date.)

Our family is extremely fortunate and blessed that our son's first social experience was at Solbe…read more He started school when he was just one year old, and was greeted with unparalleled love every day by his class teacher, all the other teachers, the director, and the chef. Now, he runs out the door and into his classroom. This 2 years old ability to love others and accept himself is on full display not only at Solbe, but also at the park, the supermarket, and on trips, where he greets everyone with a smile and a "Hello!" As parents, I am most grateful for : Solbe's nutrition system, the best in the US. Three meals a day, chefs prepare fresh, nutritious, and varied menus, allowing our young children to experience a wide variety of foods and get the most nutrition. So I can forgive myself when I serve him just chicken nuggets at dinner :) Furthermore, from such a young age, the teachers provide new art experiences every day. My son loves drawing, talking, singing, dancing, and running around--all of these activities are spontaneous and active. Thanks to Solbe, his brain, mind, and motor skills have developed remarkably, and most importantly, he seems very happy. So I can forgive myself when I let him watch TV before dinner time :) I am grateful to the teachers and staff who provide the world's best early education, nutrition, with a big love spirit and we truly appreciate their professionalism.

Morning Playtime is a well-known, popular playgroup in Dedham. Over the past few years I've met a…read morelot of moms who sent their kids there- either before they were old enough for preschool, or as a 1 or 2 day a week enrichment in addition to preschool, or as an alternative to a preschool. I've always heard great things, so I jumped at the chance to send my son when she had an opening. They do crafts, sensory play, puzzles, instruments, dress up, chalkboard, storybooks, felt boards, playdoh, sand table, painting, shaving cream play, tower building, songs, and on and on. There's a new theme every month (this month: polar animals). Every day when I pick up my son I hear about all the fun they had. They do have circle time and talk about letters and numbers, always in a playful and imaginative environment, with mixed ages from 2-4. The other great thing about Morning Playtime is plenty of outdoor play every day, even in snow, which is so wonderful for kids. I love the fun my son has there- and I do think it is education- play is how kids learn at this age. I first met Elizabeth McKenna when she taught a children's art class at Mother Brook Arts Center. I saw how much she truly enjoys spending time children and developing a rapport with them. She is engaging and hands-on. If you are looking for a half-day program for young kids, Morning Playtime is a great choice.
