We are new parents getting ready for our little one to start at Celebree this December, and…read morehonestly, we already feel so good about our choice. Everyone we've talked to has been super warm, helpful, and patient with all our questions. The place feels clean, organized, and really inviting and you can tell they put a lot of care into creating a nurturing learning environment. What also made our decision easier is that my niece goes to a Celebree in another state and absolutely loves it there. Seeing how happy she's been made us feel even more confident about choosing Celebree for our kid. I especially appreciate how attentive they have been during the onboarding process; checking in regularly, walking us through each step, and making sure our little one's transition will be as smooth as possible. So far, everything has been great and we're really excited for our kid to start!

Choosing a childcare center as a parent is never easy, and as a parent of a child on the autism…read morespectrum, it can feel especially overwhelming. We have toured many centers over the years and often left feeling uneasy or unsure. Celebree School of Newton was the first place where that anxiety simply wasn't there. From the moment we walked in, the environment felt warm, lively, and genuinely welcoming. What immediately stood out was how hands-on everyone was. The owners and director were not standing on the sidelines. They were actively engaging with the children, getting down to their level, playing, laughing, offering high fives, and making real connections. Seeing leadership interact with my child so naturally made a huge impression on me. The biggest moment for us came during the tour. My child, who normally clings tightly to me in new environments, stayed behind in the classroom with teachers and another child while I walked the building. That has never happened before, and it spoke volumes. Since starting, drop-offs have been surprisingly smooth. My child is comfortable, settled, and confident enough that he barely notices when I leave. The onboarding process was thoughtful and thorough. The staff took time to truly get to know my child, his personality, his needs, and what helps him feel regulated and happy. They allowed him space to explore, move, and be himself, including time in the gym to run and release energy. That flexibility and patience are exactly what we were hoping for. Safety is another major strength. The building is secure, with cameras and controlled access, and the tall fencing around the campus is a huge reassurance for families with children who like to wander. Knowing that outdoor walks and movement can happen safely within the campus makes a big difference. The location is also a bonus. Having the YMCA and Excel Gymnastics right next door is incredibly convenient and offers great options for activities as our child grows. For a parent who has spent years feeling tense during daycare tours, Celebree has been a refreshing change. The teachers are experienced, attentive, and calm, and it shows in how the children respond to them. This has been a positive, confidence-building experience for both my child and me, and I'm truly grateful we found this school! It is worth every penny!

I could not imagine a more warm welcome to a new place for our son, who runs into school every morning and talks about how much he loves his teachers and friends every night. From really creative classroom curriculum to outstanding communication between administration, teachers, and parents, we have confidence that our son is in the place that is best for him. We also have confidence that the Beginnings team is doing everything the right way in regards to keeping the whole community safe and healthy. I highly recommend Beginnings School to other families looking for an engaging and fun place dedicated to thoughtfully educating your children.

The teachers are well-trained to scaffold the most important dimensions of early learning: social-emotional development and self-help skills. Pre-academic tasks are weaved through play and conversation and children are quick to adopt a growth mindset, which is one of the most necessary indicators of future success. I highly recommend Beginnings for any parent or educator looking for a truly special, unique school that will give them or their children the tools needed to thrive.

An absolutely wonderful learning experience!! My daughter started attending Music Together classes…read morewhen she was 8 months old. She is 17 months now and has shown so much growth! She can independently sing many of the words in each song and this has carried over to finishing rhymes in sentences when reading books. Her language development has taken off and she repeats many of the concepts at home that she hears in class, such as numbers, colors and patterns. She loves the teachers and interacting with other children, both older and younger than she is. As a parent and early childhood educator, I am very particular when it comes to high quality curriculum and music. Music Together delivers both, as well as caring and nurturing teachers. We look forward to attending classes for many years to come!

My daughter is now almost 2 1/2 and she can't wait to go to music class each week---and, frankly, neither can I. It is impossible not to have fun there! She knows so many of the songs and she (and my husband and I) sing them together in the car and at home. A woman I work with heard me humming one day and said "Music Together? I took my kids there and my grandchildren go now too!" People just love this program and I can see why. The teachers are wonderful. We have had a chance (with make ups and summer classes) to be in class with all three teachers at this location. Each one of them has a different style, but what is a constant is that they all clearly love being around children and they are all talented musicians. They make the songs come alive with dances and props. The children learn the songs quickly because the activities that illustrate the songs are fun and stick with them. Even the babies in the class react to the songs! It's really something to watch their little faces as their moms and dads and caregivers and their big brothers and sisters dance and sing. Last night, my daughter sang me a song we are just learning this semester called "Tomorrow's Now Today." She got 75% of the words and she was dead on with the melody. It was amazing. Give it a try. Music Together will be the best 45 minutes of your week!
