We cannot say enough positive things about this wonderful school. Most importantly, the teachers…read moreand staff are loving, attentive and provide a safe environment for all. My children are very happy at both drop off and pick up. They have a structured curriculum and schedules that align well with each classroom, and we have seen both of our children truly thrive. We are confident that the child who will be entering K next year is going to be more than ready with the preparation in Pre-K! We call it a school because it is truly more than a daycare - they are caring for the children but also developing them as empathetic and smart learners! In these unique (pandemic) times, Little Steps really has made sure all state policies are followed. We have felt completely comfortable sending the children in. It is also worth noting that the classrooms are spotless, drop off/pick up is easy, and communication via the tadpoles app is very clear. (It also shares a building with a great pediatrician practice and is walking distance to a commuter rail...extremely convenient!)

We send our daughter to Little Steps and she loves it. She is always so happy to go inside and has…read moredeveloped a bond with her caregivers. She always comes home clean and happy. The facility itself is clean and has made major upgrades for the Covid 19 pandemic which has made me feel good about sending her during this time. The communication from staff is great. I get updates throughout the day about what she is doing. I believe since sending her to Little Steps she has been learning more and becoming much more social.

I would never think to write a review for a preschool because obviously every family, child,…read moreschool, etc. is unique and a family MUST do more than rely on Yelp for such an important choice. HOWEVER, I happened to see that my child's school only had one review and it's quite negative. This is too bad because every parent I've ever met who has any experience with this school just loves it. We are very happy at First Parish. It is a playschool, meaning they believe that children learn best through play. It's sort of old fashioned...in a good way...it's in a church basement, everyone is pretty local, they have to be creative with space (it's in a church basement). So far we have really liked the teachers we have dealt with and the director is wonderful. I love that they try really hard to get the kids outside and they have a great outdoor space. First Parish is definitely worth checking out - but get on it as there is almost always a waitlist.

We had a terrible experience with this school. They forgot about my child on the playground. All…read morethe kids were sitting on the table and no one noticed my daughter wasn't there. The teacher was very rude and unwelcoming. We hated the experience and thought the teachers and directors were so rude. I have heard from other families that they have had the same experience.

Lil Munchkins is the finest preschool with the most dedicated and loving team. Tanya Donahue has…read morededicated her life to educating children in their most formative years, and has built a home away from home for little ones to learn, create and develop. My daughter Tess started there when she was 6-months old. I traveled every week on business, but always knew that she was in the safest place with the most capable hands and hearts to provide for and protect her. When Tess arrived at Kindergarten, she was the only student in her class able to read books, books with no pictures! She excels in reading and learning, which we attribute a tremendous amount to her most precious early years with Tanya and her staff. We love Lil Munchkins and the amazing team there!!

We are open Monday through Friday from 7am-6pm, in order to accommodate the working parents' schedule. Lil' Munchkins strives to create an environment in which children between the ages of eight weeks and six years can grow socially, physically, emotionally, and cognitively. Our Infant, Toddler, Preschool, and Pre-Kindergarten Programs encourage children to discover and explore the world around them through a variety of age appropriate activities and choices. Our program provides children with the opportunity to learn at their own pace. We believe that developmentally age appropriate equipment and hands-on activities build a strong foundation for growth and learning in early childhood. We encourage children to exercise self-control, to learn through self-directed activities, and to become independent and responsible. Children are allowed to make their own choices when discovering and exploring their new and exciting environment.

Your search is over- you have found the perfect daycare & nursery school for your child…read more My son first started in the infant room, and it has been the best experience that I could imagine. The entire staff is the equivalent to real life Disney fairy godmothers. They are magical. So professional, incredibly caring and warm from the start. From the moment I inquired online with Cadence Academy, in less than 24 hours our relationship began. Kaitlyn, the director, personally called me, and after 45 minutes on the phone, feeling like we were long lost friends reconnecting, the weight of finding the perfect place for my son was lifted. (Her daughter attends, so that right there was reassurance that Cadence Academy is the top choice for even a professional) I was called back to work in the middle of the summer of 2020, the PANDEMIC. Kaitlyn and her incredible staff made me feel so comfortable while I couldn't physically tour any of the classrooms, or walk inside the building, their descriptions, virtual tours, and phone calls reassured me completely. The Covid protocols were strict and thorough- with daily temperature checks for each student, mandatory masks, and extra sanitizing steps- it is extremely clean that I never felt overly nervous. Within the first week my son attended for three days, he came home waving, clapping and saying "bye-bye" at 11 months old. The next week he was saying "ut oh" and signing for milk (I had practiced signing at home and let them know my goals- and within two weeks of being at the academy -he was signing back!) Now at almost a year and a half he has an extensive vocabulary and signing skills to communicate! All thanks to the incredible teachers and socialization with other babies. The first few weeks I was a naturally worried mom- between the live updated app they use showing each meal, how much he ate and how much milk he drank, how long he napped, to every dirty to clean diaper- to photos of their daily activities- it reassured me he was in the perfect hands. I would call to check in, and every time I did I never ever felt rushed off the phone- Miss Taryn (who my son calls mama and immediately reaches for when we arrive each morning) would take the time and tell me how James' day was going and what he was learning. Even though I would hear a busy room in the background, she never rushed me off the phone and let me ask all of the questions. I felt at ease. She truly is doing what she is meant to do- be with babies and teach! My son had an immediate and special bond with Miss Taryn- that naps were no problem napping away from home (which is any mom's biggest fear who has gone through sleep training and has a perfect sleeper- sleep and daycare! They are amazing at getting your baby to nap) Meghan, the assistant director, is the most warm and calming soul I have ever came across. She is the perfect face of the academy, taking care of the daily protocols and payments. Anything you need or any question you may have- she is literally two rings away, or your emailed is answered within minutes. Hannah, is the coolest and the most down to earth, who again makes you feel so comfortable leaving your child when/if he cries come Monday when you first leave. And mind you- she is the funniest- best personality. Look no further, this is the spot not only for you to feel at ease that your child is in the best care, but also the best place for your child to grow (and eat very well!)

We did try another family owned daycare prior to enrolling at Bright Horizons and there was just no comparison. The Director and Assistant Director are very professional and accommodating to busy working parents. If we need to modify a drop-off or pick-up time, they always do what they can to make it work. The teachers are loving, patient and great educators - we can't believe how much our toddler has learned as a result of her experience at Bright Horizons. The facility is clean, new and unlike the vast majority of local daycare facilities we toured, and they have beautiful playgrounds for each of the different age groups. The school also offers some really fun extra curriculum activities around different holidays like Trunk or Treat, and breakfast with Frosty. I would highly recommend this nurturing environment for your little one.
