They have been in business for over 35 years, and my own family members have all been a part of the lpph family as students, and still rave over the memories and achievements made! Michele, the Director of both centers, is very dedicated and involved in each students academic journey and will dedicate any minute of the day to help with any of their needs. During such trying times that we are in, it's can be stressful looking for a childcare center that suits your child's needs. Fun and engaging curriculum, nutritious meals and great care. Take a tour, ask the questions, you will love it!

My oldest has been at OCMS for going on 3 years now, and my youngest for 2. I cannot say enough…read moregood things about this school in particular, but the Montessori education in general. It allows the child to learn in their own time removing, shame, pressure and ultimately, anxiety. And yes, they learn. My 6 year old is reading chapter books. What it does, is gives them the gift of actually learning for enjoyment. The teachers are nurturing, accommodating and the facilities are excellent. If you're on the fence, check it out- I believe tours go year round. Also worth visiting is the elementary program where not only academia (like math/ reading etc) is taught, but yoga, breath work and organic gardening are practiced. Cannot recommend enough.

I found Libby's daycare through references and was very nervous and apprehensive to put my daughter in someone else's care. When she was only 6 weeks old, I had to go back to work full time. Libby was absolutely amazing and put all my fears to rest! She is so caring and has a way with children, truly gifted! I don't know how she does it but she is an angel! Now my daughter is starting preschool and every morning asks me if she can go to the daycare instead. She really misses it. If I ever have another child in the future, which I hope I will, I will definitely bring them to Funland Daycare and I recommend any parents looking for daycare to bring your child to Libbys!

NOT SAFE FOR TODDLERS During the tour in May of 2023,…read moreeverything seemed calm and put together. I witness the toddlers quietly enjoying a snack and they all seemed fairly happy. During the registration process, the director was very slow to respond. A week before our son's first day, I still didn't know who his teachers would be, what he should bring to school (lunch, snacks, bedding, lovey), or which classroom he would be in. This was all very unsettling. When I walked in on his second day, it was complete chaos in the front area. Pre-k children were running all over the place playing while the toddlers (some as young as just 15 mo) were mixed in with Pre-K and looked completely scared. Come to find out that it is illegal to mix those groups together or at the very least, you need a special license. By the third day, I still wasn't told who my son's teachers were so I opted to pick him up early. I was horrified to see that a pre-k teacher (who didn't know my son or my son's name) had given him a twizzler as a snack and was sitting in front of a tv screen watching Finding Nemo. My son was only 17 mo old at the time. Candy is considered a choking hazard and we don't allow screens for him at all. No one asked our permission for him to watch the movie and no one knew of his dietary restrictions because no one had introduced me to his teachers. Not to mention the fact that this goes against all the marketing materials that you're given. The place is a hot mess. The marketing materials that they give you are a complete lie. The turn over for the toddler rooms is higher than average and from what I witness, it's NOT SAFE. The director is extremely disorganized, doesn't know what her teachers do on a day to day basis and provides little to no communication with parents. Needless to say, WE REMOVED OUR SON FROM THEIR CARE AFTER THE THIRD DAY. Of course I reached out to the 1800 number and explained my story. Again, I was given false promises. I was told: -That I could enroll my son at a different location, at the same price as Knoweldge Beginnings, Westwood. That never happend. -I was told that I would be speaking to the district VP about how Knowledge Beginnings was being run. That never happened. Essentially, all promises made to me over the phone by the district manager were never upheld. That pales in comparison to how little Knowledge Beginnings cares for their toddlers and doesn't not offer the care that is described in their marketing materials. From one concerned parent to another, do not take your children there.

I have two children, ages 4.5 and 16mos, who have both attended the Westwood Knowledge Beginnings…read moresince they were 3 months old. It has been a great experience for them overall. Our girls have thrived in that environment, much due to the nurturing staff and just the right balance of academic focus and self-directed play. Our eldest child is quite prepared for kindergarten at this point but still has another year before she starts in public school! The staff is quite experienced, many of them having worked at the center for 5+ years and who also bring their own children to the location. Maryellen and Stacey, the Director and Associate Director respectively, are attentive to the needs of the children and their families while continuously guiding the staff toward excellence; recently demonstrated through achieving National accreditation. Some perceived drawbacks to this center might be: the location - Rt 1 can be quite busy and the parking lot is not huge, but the location was quite convenient for us and we've rarely had a problem with parking. Snacks are provided but lunches are not included in the cost of tuition- this suits our picky eaters! And the center has recently partnered with a company called Smart Lunches to provide meals for purchase. We absolutely recommend this center to families seeking a caring place where their children will blossom and grow.

We are grateful to have found such a strong and supportive community of teachers, administrators, and local families. The staff are creative, caring, and highly attentive, consistently designing thoughtful, developmentally appropriate activities and programs. The center operates year-round from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., eliminating the need for additional aftercare or summer programs. Tuition is transparent, with no hidden fees, and includes a full meal plan and three additional enrichment activities. Although our child can be a picky eater at home, he has become much more willing to try new foods at daycare. GQCC also offers a large playground and is conveniently located near a highway exit. Our child receives Early Intervention services, and the staff have been exceptional in collaborating with EI providers and expanding strategies to support regulation and sensory development. Teachers are always accessible for check-ins, and we regularly receive photos and updates about daily activities. GQCC is a wonderful center with caring, attentive, and professional staff. We highly recommend it.

The teachers and administrators are all very kind and supportive. The girls learn a lot and are always safe. They have made lots of friends and are constantly talking about all the fun activities they do at the center. Both of our girls started when they were just a few months old. Eila is now almost 4 and Maebh is 19 months old. The pandemic has been challenging but the center staff got us all through it so far safely and my daughter Eila was able to quickly make up ground in her language skills after staying home for several months when the pandemic first hit. Now she's talkative as ever and even is writing her own name. Maebh is strong-willed and loving and she enjoys spending time with other kids and her teachers. I would recommend GQCCC to any families or teachers.
