In the 5 day program, the teacher, Cissy, did a fabulous job with her curriculum and making sure she was in line with what was necessary for kindergarten. The teachers and director were always welcoming to the parents and invited them into the classroom at any time. My daughter wasn't only academically ready for kindergarten, she was socially ready as well. She learned how to work with peers to solve a problem and the importance of taking turns and waiting. She enjoyed going to school each day. Cissy used creative ways of teaching to keep the attention of the class. She used a variety of hands on materials to demonstrate her lessons. I knew that my child was in great hands while at school. The class size was small which allowed the teacher to give individual attention to address each student and to assist students when they needed a little extra help. Cissy also encouraged the students to bring in items from home that went along with the lessons. She always showed a lot of enthusiasm when children brought something in. She made each child feel important and valued everything the children had to say. My daughter was more than ready for kindergarten after her 2 years of preschool at Jack and Jill. I would highly recommend this preschool to other parents. I can't imagine sending my daughter to any other preschool. Sending my daughter to Jack and Jill gave us a very positive first experience in sending her to school.

He was lucky enough to grow up here, attending from the baby room through his pre-k years. The teachers here did a phenomenal job getting him ready both socially and academically, making the transition feel seamless. What we loved most over the years was the consistency--they have low teacher turnover, so our son was able to form real, lasting bonds with the staff. On top of that, the facility is always clean and they take safety and security very seriously, which gave us total peace of mind every day. If you're looking for a daycare in Danvers that genuinely cares and sets your kid up for success, this is it!

We recently moved back to the city so we had to relocate her daycare as well. When we first looked for daycare on the North Shore we wanted a place that was safe, engaging, and gave us a good feeling about how they cared for the children. ABB Too exceeded our expectations. It was well organized and the teachers were experienced, caring, engaging and provided a one of a kind experience for our daughter. We are so appreciative and grateful for the growth and confidence that we saw in our daughter for the short time that she was there. If you are considering daycare on the North Shore, you should definitely visit ABB Too, you will quickly see why it's an excellent option.

In short, these folks are great. The most precious commodity we have is our kids. We want them to…read morebe in a place where they are safe, have fun and learn. Children's Early Learning Center of Danvers is that type of place. For context, and full disclosure We've had our son here from before when it was under previous ownership. We loved a lot of his teachers, but we also noticed that the quality of the school was going down. That was due to the previous ownership (Northeast Montessouri of Danvers). When the new owners were announced, We were happy if cautious. The sun rises and sets with our son. We wanted to suss them out and hoped we would have a chance to do it before they took over. Weeks before the new owners took over they were there available to talk to and discuss how they would be running the daycare. I found them to be super personable and I noticed that my son really liked them too. I also am a stickler for "The rules" aka the standard regulations and they are too. They officially took over on October 1...and it was like going from Black and White to an HDTV or when you see a movie in IMAX and they play the sound differences. (I can remember telling my wife it reminded me of when Dorothy pushes open the door after she lands in Oz and the movie goes for black and white to color) Immediately you noticed the difference. Proactive owners means proactive directors which means proactive staff. My son is happier than he was before (and I think everyone there knows he's a pretty happy kid baseline). he loves the owners and center director. The rooms are great and there is just a much more fun vibe there. (In our case a shout out also has to go to Ms Emily, our son's teacher, who is just awesome!) Look, we all HAVE to send our kids to daycare. With that in mind, the goal should then be to find a place you WANT to send your child. Children's Early Learning Center of Danvers is a place where you WANT to send you son or daughter.

In the second show for older children, others volunteered to demonstrate their new ventriloquial skills after choosing a puppet of their choice from the big drum case. Volunteers were encouraged to say their first name into the microphone and try moving the puppet's mouth three times as they said "One, Two, Three" with their new puppet voice. Special thanks to Mr. Jarod, the teacher who volunteered to be our HUMAN DUMMY! He wore our ventriloquist face mask, played the "ringy, dingy, thingy" and "sang" our "No Bully Zone" original song with Chelsea The Chimpanzee.
