My profile does not provide my entire name. I can assure you I went through the ridiculous car line…read morefor years. My child had Cathy in the toddler program and Kay the following year. I included pics of the daily progress paper your staff handed out at the end of the day to ensure you that we went to this glorified daycare. It's too bad the school has such a high turn over that they don't know who attends the school and perhaps they all pretend to not remember people. But they will sure kept our money and deposit without a problem when we refused to send our child back the following semester after paying in full. At the end of the day HOMS gets visits from other Montessori people because it is not up to par with the rest of their programs the state has to offer. This school offers the bare minimum of what other real Montessori schools offer.

I would recommend Cadence to anyone! My son went through Pre-K here, and we loved it so much that…read morewe decided to enroll our daughter in the toddler class. All of the teachers and staff are so understanding and really work with your child to make them feel comfortable. When my daughter started last September, she was extremely timid and shy. Thanks to the patience and care of Ms. Michelle and Ms. Jen, she now loves going to class and playing with the other children. As an anxious parent, I was nervous to send her anywhere, but Cadence has completely put my mind at ease. They keep me updated throughout the day with diaper changes, meals, any concerns, and even photos of what they did. It's wonderful to see how cared for and happy she is every day.

Excellent daycare. My son has been in their program for over a year…read more Teachers are excellent and take amazing care of the kids. They always give extra effort and attention. Health and safety is taken very seriously there. They clean the toys and surfaces constantly to prevent as much illness as possible. We could not have made a better decision enrolling in their programs.

A good choice for fitness, sport, and youth services…read more Our family has been patrons of the Foxborough YMCA for a since it opened decades ago. This location has grown in a positive way adding services families and singles both appreciate. The gym is well fitted out with almost every piece of equipment one might need, and it is well maintained. Staff are always present to provide assistance, insure sanitation, and ensure the equipment is functional. The pool lad a number of lanes for swimmers in addition to an are for family swims. A track, basketball court, and exercise studios are present indoors. The later are often used for classes. Many services are available for children including care while parents work out, youth leagues, birthday party facilities, etc. There has also been a popular adult set of leagues. Annual membership is quite reasonable and the are options for various groups including single parents. There are also options for day use or bringing guests. We love this Y and will definitely continue with our membership.

Came here for a quick workout and sauna because it's the closest Y to the Wrentham Outlet Mall,…read morewhere I dropped off my friend for her shopping expedition. What amazed me: 1. The staff member working in the fitness area (moderately sized but very nice quality equipment and lots of natural light) was actually DOING SOMETHING, i.e. walking around and putting stuff back in their proper places! Never seen that at any other Y I've been to, where staff just stand around, fiddle with their phones, and generally just use up oxygen---unless they are personal trainers working with a paying client. Not only that, the guy actually noticed that I was new and came up to me, introduced himself and offered help if I ever needed any! Absolutely flabberghasting staff behavior for a YMCA, lol! If only every Y were like this. 2. The fairly new, spacious, and coed sauna next to the pool area (there are no longer single sex saunas in the locker rooms, I was told) was actually heated to a decent temperature (190F according to the thermometer hanging on the wall at chest level) AND had two levels of seating so you could actually get a decent sweat on, as opposed to some Ys that for some boneheaded reason have only a single low bench which is completely useless because duh, heat RISES so why in the hell would you want to be sitting so low when it's already maxed out at some wimpy 150F? (Cough cough, Melrose and Framingham YMCAs.) The disadvantage of a poolside sauna though is that it's a pain to go back and forth back to the locker room shower for a cold rinse every 10-15 minutes, as opposed to a locker room sauna---but this is not a fatal flaw. 3. The treadmills were by a brand called Matrix I had never seen before and I got on one hoping that it wouldn't totally suck like the Precor treadmills---happily, it did not, though I was disappointed at how tiny the screens were after being spoiled by the huge 24" screens of the Life Fitness treadmills at my home Y in Cambridge. BUT it had one beautiful feature the big fancy LF treadmills lacked: a built in cooling fan at the top of the console, which was absolutely delightful! Wish this feature were standard on EVERY piece of gym cardio equipment, lol. Only a few minior gripes about this place: - Almost all the stationary bikes were the geriatric recumbent kind. No Keiser bikes, which are the only ones with decent ergonomics and that actually feel like you're pedaling a real bike. - Kettlebells are few and max out at 22kg, which is barely enough for one handed swings and presses, but much too light for loaded carries or two handed swings. - Oh and it'd be nice if they had some hanging boxing bags, or at least one. This is one of the things that sets the Cambridge Y apart: an abundance of free-hanging real boxing bags, not the useless water-base standing bags. This gym appears to have neither. Overall though, this is a very good Y and I will be sure to return next time I'm in the area!

Our daughter goes to the Barnyard twice a week (toddler) and she LOVES it! She consistently has the…read moresame teachers, who are always patient and very caring. They take lots of pictures, so we get to see some of what she's up to. Her language and social skills have improved so much since she began attending- sure, she's a toddler, but these are leaps. They have lots of activities; you need to check their Facebook page or you might miss out. They have a fun bus and baby animals that visit. The price is okay- expensive but decent for a daycare center. The only problem with them is that they close at 5.

The reviews above really blew me away. Given that they were both left the same day, I am guessing…read morethey are the same set of parents. My 2.5 year old son has been at Barnyard since he was six months old. My nearly 7 month old daughter has been there for a month. We absolutely LOVE barnyard. So far, my son has been in the infant room, toddler 1, and toddler 2. The teachers are just that- teachers. They not only care for the physical needs of my children, but the emotional needs too. The two primary infant room teachers are incredible care takers who provide so much love and affection, as well as daily engagement. They are more than just babysitters as we experienced elsewhere. They plan activities and work on helping the kids hit their milestones. In the toddler rooms, the teachers are amazing too. They have a wonderful curriculum in place and really foster an environment of play based learning. My son has thrived so much there. Each day, he comes home talking about what he did with his toddler friends and he is always learning about new concepts and mastering new skills due to the daily activities. We actually moved my son to Barnyard after a poor experience elsewhere and were blown away by the professionalism and care we found at Barnyard. Barnyard is an extremely well loved school in town and has truly earned its wonderful reputation.
