A child I love dearly had a terrible experience at this place. She was badly traumatized…read more The center's priority in the aftermath was clearly all about covering its own ass rather than the well being of the child. The child was too young to give much detail about what happened to her, but based on how long it took her to recover, I suspect that whatever happened to her was pretty bad. I say, avoid this place.

A Bright Beginning Too is an amazing daycare and preschool. We had our first daughter in this…read morepreschool from 3 months old to 1 year old. 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.

Both of my boys attended A Bright Beginning Too from a very young age, even as early as 5 months…read moreold. My hesitance to return to work and separate from my infant was quickly resolved after meeting the caring teachers at ABB. After 5 years of experience with this school I can confidently say that they provide a safe and loving environment. Not to mention the quality of education is unmatched. I've been told by our pediatrician that both of my boys are meeting their developmental milestones at an advanced rate, despite my oldest son experiencing a late start with his speech skills. His attentive teachers were quick to identify this milestone delay and offered various resources tailored to his needs. Thanks to ABB's dedicated staff my son was able to build a large vocabulary, read, and write by the age of 4! We couldn't have overcome this delay without ABBs skilled and diverse team. Their curriculum also enables children to exercise independence, kindness, and respect. I can't even count how many times I've been pleasantly surprised by my sons initiative to attempt self care tasks and display manners (unprompted!). ABB also prioritizes community involvement. Not only do they host multiple food drives/fundraisers, but my personal favorite is when the local fire department comes to introduce themselves to the kids and teach fire safety. My kids loved it too! ABB has continued to exceed my expectations despite COVID-19's relentless obstacles. The classrooms are always kept clean and organized. My children don't suffer from any food allergies but I do notice that ABB takes allergen exposure precautions very seriously. If ABB did any better of a job I wouldn't be able to get my kids to come home at the end of the day

I joined the waitlist for Northeast Montessori while I was three months pregnant, and when my baby…read morewas one month old, I was offered an infant spot for January. I immediately paid the required deposit on August 18. After submitting payment, I received no confirmation or acknowledgment -- not even an automated receipt -- which was concerning given that the payment form collected card details directly. From August 18 to November 1, I reached out multiple times seeking updates. I called the school twice and was advised both times to follow up by email. I sent three separate emails during that period and received no response. In those messages, I asked for confirmation of my deposit, a tour of the facility (as I had not yet seen the space), and an invoice for my records. The invoice was particularly important because I work in research and needed proper documentation to submit for my employer's childcare credit reimbursement. When I initially asked about scheduling a tour, I was told the floors were being waxed and that someone would follow up once tours resumed. However, no one ever reached back out. By November 1 -- just a month before returning to work -- and still with no communication, I sent a polite but direct email asking about the status of my child's enrollment and inquiring about the refund policy, since the contract stated deposits were nonrefundable. The reply I finally received was short and stated that the refund would be processed, citing personal circumstances as the reason for the lack of communication. While I empathize with anyone facing family health challenges, it's concerning that there appeared to be no administrative backup or system in place to maintain communication with parents -- particularly when planning infant care around a return-to-work schedule. As a solo parent who paid a significant deposit in good faith, this experience left me disappointed. Reliability, clear communication, and professionalism are essential when it comes to infant care, especially for working parents. I'm sharing this so future parents can use their time wisely and avoid being put in a position of having to scramble to find childcare just weeks before returning to work -- especially when you've done your part by being proactive and organized in securing a spot for your child.

my son went to the Northeastern Montessori school in revere MA for 3 years and I couldnt have been…read morehappier. i had initially taken him to another very known private school in the area and he cried every single day. we changed him to NEM and he stopped crying within 4 days. classes are small and the teachers are seasoned/experienced educators. there was not a day i felt uncomfortable leaving my little one there. my son loved all his teachers, specially Ms Kathy and Ms Totto. he walked in there every day like he owned the place. He would come home talking about things like Martin Luther King, Animals, continents, celebrations around the world etc, when he was in preschool which i thought it was awesome because you could tell they were not only playing but also learning. this is not something they do in all preschools As some of them just limit the children to playing. my son stills talks about going back. i was able to bond with other moms that I still see once in a while for birthdays and we all miss the school and the teachers. Another positive Is that they take very seriously keeping the students and teacher healthy. The school owner does not play around when it comes to mitigating any virus outbreaks. she is very strict with this policy which I liked. My only complain is the admin part of the school. I dont think they have a person dedicated to it 100% of the time so its a little bit of a challenge When you need something. you just have to insist and it will get done but you have to be on top of it. if you are considering this school, def give them a chance. its a small school that takes pride on caring and educating children, which at the end of the day its what matters.

I cannot recommend TeeTee's Daycare enough. I have sent both of my children to the center and they…read morehave received the best care. My first born started going there from the age of 8 months up until 4 and then I transitioned my second child to the center and he is now 2.5. They are caring, understanding, the facility is spotless, the children are always clean when picking them up, and are fed a healthy and home cooked meal everyday. They provide detailed evaluations of the children at certain milestones that help you gauge if your child needs help in certain areas which are really helpful. I always recommend Teetee's daycare to anyone looking for childcare. They are also extremely flexible! The pricing is below large centers however I personally believe my children are receiving a lot better care in this home based daycare center. I could not be more happy with them and have all the trust in sending my children there.

He loves getting dropped off everyday, is provided breakfast and lunch, and we have total peace of mind that he is safe and learning! My favorite part about Rosario's is the curriculum she has implemented for the toddler age kids. They sing, dance, paint, color, read and build on a regular basis. Rosario also teaches practical life skills like teeth brushing, cleaning up, and work on potty training. The ratio is also amazing as Rosario has assistant staff members to help with everyone! Rosario's Family Daycare is the best thing that has happened to us as parents. We feel so lucky to have a slot!

Few things Ive experienced with this the care…read more As you walk in you see the smaller kids. So the doors are opened and closed when the children and parents are entering. So winter time it doesn't seem like a good idea cause the children were all sick when my son attended the school. You can walk in with your shoes or sneakers on. They do not provide shoe protectors to avoid germs. When I went to pick up my son there were another child's pacifier in my son's mouth. Next day he got sick at 3 months. He's currently 6 months and haven't gotten better because the doctors couldn't give him medication. When I asked the director if my son get tummy time(3 months) she said he's too young for tummy time and that it will strain his muscle. Didn't make sense to me because the doctors made note that the baby do tummy time when he's awake so he can develop his motor skills. The director said that she didn't know that. That was a red flag for me. As I mentioned my son is 6 months now and still struggling to sit up. He has no interest in rolling over. For the little time I have with him I work on these areas as the day care has lack in encouraging him to reach these milestones. The other teachers love my son and of courses care for his well being. But I feel like the curriculum is a bit out dated.
