This transition was tough for him and myself as he had a horrible ending to his last daycare. I initially got a gut feeling when I toured which is why I chose it.

The curriculum is amazing for all ages and I have noticed my child's educational progression soar since he has been attending.

I couldn't disagree more with the first reviewer. I'm actually so saddened to think someone else…read morecould read that one-star review and pass up on the chance to give their child the experience my daughter has had at TLE. Let me tell you my own story. At first, I had selected a DIFFERENT daycare in Chelmsford, closer to my work. It soon became a horrifying experience. The teachers were uncaring and grizzled. The facility was dirty. I observed so many bad things: for example, my infant crying and neglected under an activity gym as the older babies in the same room received more attention. I was traumatized. I sobbed every day in the parking lot of my workplace because of the things I was seeing and hearing. I was even thinking of quitting my (amazing) job -- because I had nowhere else to put my daughter. No family support. What was I going to do? I desperately reached out to the mama social networks and (an angel) mama recommended the TLE Billerica. She had loved it; and only left because she moved closer to the city. I am still so thankful for that recommendation. My daughter was only at the other nasty place for four days. On July 3, 2014, after an early release for the holiday, I toured the TLE Billerica, met the director Melody, and the staff -- and the rest is history. A beautiful, happy history. My daughter is almost two now. She's been at TLE full-time since she was 11 weeks. No place is perfect -- but TLE Billerica is very close to it. The facility is so secure. So clean. Most of the teachers I met two years ago are still there. But the real treasure has been how warm and caring the teachers and staff have been to my daughter. Our highest priority criterion isn't price, but frankly, the TLE is also half the price of daycares near Boston where we originally looked. It was several hundred dollars less expensive per month than the first daycare we used. I should also mention the convenient location and hours. My daughter has severe eczema but her skin is so well moisturized during the day by her teachers, she doesn't even scratch. She's never had a diaper rash. Rarely gets sick. She's happy -- and when I pick her up, I can tell she's had a good day. The last daycare? Every day, I could tell she was having a bad day. As a baby, she struggled with naps. TLE helped us build a sleep routine. As a toddler, she struggled with solid food. TLE helped build her appetite! She's a big girl now. At 21 months, she has ABC's, 123's and full songs figured out. Every time I've had a need or concern, the response has been tremendous. I couldn't ask for more from a center. The teachers and staff at TLE have become our family. I have a good relationship with so many of the other parents who also sing this center's praises. When my husband and I count our blessings, TLE is at the top of the list every year. They gave this scared, first time (working) mama reassurance, support and love. I'll always be grateful.

As a new mom, I greatly appreciate the human connection that all of the caregivers provide. Every day I am greeted with a smile and asked about how my daughter's night was. Beyond that, the caregivers are always happy to give me advice and support after a long night or fussy morning. I am thoroughly satisfied with her infant care, and am even more excited for her to progress through the childcare program. The layout of the building allows me a glimpse into the other early childhood classrooms, and I am constantly amazed by the variety of activities and teaching methods that I see on a daily basis. I also love that the program is part of 2nd Nature Academy. While we certainly don't want to rush our daughter's early childhood experience, we look forward to her continued education for many years to come.

After hearing such wonderful things about TNOTs I was excited to enroll my child. On day one, I was…read moreable To observe my child for a few hours. I was a nervous new mother so I thought I was being critical of the lack of warmth from caregivers and staff. Aside from Carol who greets you upon entry there was no comfort in leaving your child there. I questioned myself thinking I was protective and went along with it. Over time it didn't change. I came one day to pick my child up early to find a substitute teaching acting extremely inappropriate with the children scolding them In a way that felt like she was losing control. Other staff members appeared embarrassed when I witnessed it. When speaking with the director I was reassured she wouldn't work with the younger kids anymore because " it overwhelmed her " I quickly learn from that point on it wasn't the right place for my child. I think they paint a pretty picture of what they offer but within the walls of the preschool is quite different. Their expectations are extremely high for toddlers and pre k and sadly lack the nurturing piece. I found the staff to be young with a lot of turnover. I found the director Jillian to be young, naive and lacking real life experience to be in her role. Be careful of the pretty picture it presents. I am so sad that I didn't go with my gut on day one... a new mother novice decision. Luckily my child has no memory and I have found a place that is nurturing with experienced staff.

I fell in love with the beautiful classrooms and the educational philosophy. But the reality is that the administration makes it a miserable environment for teachers and parents, and therefor children as well. I had prepared my child mentally for attending CCG for over a year during the pandemic, and we were the schools biggest fans. If someone had told me somethin negative about the school, I would not have listened and would want to believe that it was a wonderful place. A place cannot be good for children if it treats children with disregard and families are met with hostility. There's nothing I can do to take back the immense stress that was caused to my family and child. Please look elsewhere, save your family the stress. I too read a bad review, but wanted to believe it was just one disgruntled person. It is not worth putting your child in the hands of an act. Go to the Groton Community School instead, or a small intimate daycare in a neighboring town, or get a nanny. Anything else but CCG.

Bright Horizons has taken care of my now 2-year old son since he was 8 months old and has treated him as if he were their own. My son has blossomed socially and developmentally.

They communicate with parents regularly - through the online app so you may see the everyday occurrences at the center and via email for community events and updates. They have handled the current Covid 19 pandemic with professionalism and courage. They adhere to all state guidelines and keep parents continually updated about the facility and the health of caregivers and children, all the while following the rules of HIPPA.
