Amazing place. Amazing location…read more Amazing staff. I brought my two daughters and niece (ages 5 to 11) and they had something for everyone. Saule was incredibly helpful and nice! When my 5 yo acted up, she was super calm and understanding. She even helped us perfect her piece. Saule also expedited all the pieces for us because we live out of the area and were leaving in a couple of days. If I lived in the area I'd want a membership or discount because I'd be back and there's an $8 painter's fee (which adds up!). HIGHLY recommend!!!!

I have been taking classes at the Putnam Arts council for over a year now and have learned many…read moretechniques that has greatly improved my artwork. I was a true beginner and now feel much more confident and have taken drawing classes using charcoal, graphite, and pastels. I really enjoyed the painting class and learned a lot more about drawing and painting abstract, landscapes, and portraits. Learning all of these techniques from Jim Sparks, an accomplished artist and college level teacher has been an invaluable adventure. He works with all levels, classes are creatively interesting and very entertaining. His constructive criticism is spot on and completely helpful and provides much needed insight. Never did I feel uncomfortable, intimidated, or inferior to pick up a pencil during any of these classes. I would highly recommend this class if you have any interest in art and drawing. Even if you think you can't draw, guess again, Jim's classes will help develop you into a better artist and definitely inspire you to improve. So sign up!

I recently visited Camp Elmwood with my husband to ask for information about the program and…read moreunfortunately had a very disappointing experience. We went in person hoping to speak with someone directly about the camp and learn more about the program. When we arrived at the school the women at the door told us to call a number posted on the door so someone could come downstairs and speak with us. We were never even welcomed past the front steps and were left standing outside the entire time. After calling the number we were simply told the program was full. No one ever came downstairs to speak with us and no one took the time to explain the program or even mention the possibility of applying next year. The interaction felt very cold, dismissive, and unwelcoming. As someone who works in hospitality I understand how important first impressions and "moments of truth" are. Even if a program is full families should still be treated with kindness, professionalism, and respect. Unfortunately, the way we were treated made me feel very small and unwelcome. Based on this experience I would never want to send my child to a place where families are treated this way.

My child is just finishing their second year at St. James, and it is truly wonderful. I chose it…read moreinitially based on availability and their really nice playground space, since I didn't know anyone else who could recommend a nursery school. I am so happy with our choice- all the teachers genuinely care about the students, and are very well matched at each grade level. Since it's only 2s, 3s, and 4s, it's a small environment where everyone gets to know one another. They have music class each week and do lots of nice projects and activities. Honestly cannot day enough good things! If I HAD to find a negative, the school day for the 2 year olds is 9:00-11:15, which is age appropriate, but goes by very quickly if you are running errands, etc.

For example, The assistant director is also the lunch lady. The current director is the queen of gaslighting any general concern a parent may have and lastly the most disturbing of all, often classes of different age groups of children are combined making the ratio of teacher to student above the state level requirements. If you have children here, you should pop in unexpectedly and see for yourself.

I worked here for a few months in 2022 and I can honestly say it was the best job I ever had. The…read morepeople that worked with me, who were the teachers and teacher assistants, were some of the nicest people I ever met who I will never forget. The director, Cristina Bastone, was the most professional boss I ever had and she is the perfect example of what a professional workplace should look like and I have never worked at a job since the daycare center that was that professional. The teachers are patient and it is such a calming environment and I would recommend anyone who is looking for a daycare center in Brewster to please go with this one!

They went on to say my 2.5 year old son would first have to enroll (so money would need to be exchanged and contracts signed) and then (and only then) would he (and only he) be allowed into their business. I was informed that I would not under any circumstances be allowed through their doors: "We would show him around but you can't go in with him." This is not recommended behavior by any child care policy setting body in the US. It's sickening to think that this business actually thinks this is an acceptable way to introduce toddlers to day care. It's actually alarming and disgusting.

Keri, the director, is wonderful and very responsive. Excited to be a part of the TLE family for many years to come.
