We recently moved to the area, and finding the right school for our son Kai was one of our biggest…read morepriorities. From the very beginning, the team at eBridge Montessori made us feel welcomed and supported -- even conducting a virtual tour and handling the admissions process remotely while we were still preparing for the move. That flexibility and care really stood out to us. Now that Kai is attending, we can truly see the difference eBridge is making. He's become so much more independent, confident, and socially engaged -- and he absolutely adores his teachers and classmates. The teachers are incredibly nurturing and seem to intuitively understand what each child needs to thrive. We also love how they involve us as parents, offering guidance and resources to help us bring Montessori principles into our home as well. It feels like we're learning and growing right alongside him. eBridge has already helped us feel like part of a real community here. They are living their mission of being a "bridge" -- not just between children and learning, but between schools and families. We were even able to start Kai with half days during his transition, which we greatly appreciated, and he'll be moving to full days in January. And we're already planning for our younger daughter, Vera, to join when she's ready! We couldn't be happier or more grateful. If you're looking for a warm, thoughtful, and truly child-centered school -- eBridge is right for you!

Our son was only 20 weeks old when he started at eBridge. He is now 4 1/2 and he still loves it…read more Our 2 year old daughter also began as an infant. Both kids are very happy there. The teachers and staff are warm and very caring. The school treats staff well, and so they stay on for years. My son still sees a teacher he had as an infant on a regular basis. The staff and program focus on what's best for the kids, and ask for a level of engagement from parents that may be greater than a regular daycare or preschool. Nothing is mandatory, but it does encourage a level of interaction that has truly bred a nice community. I'm so happy we found eBridge and can be a part of this special place.

My kids enjoy the art and music enrichment classes in addition to their daily activities. They are well fed and the kids enjoy the food. My older son is learning a lot in preschool/pre-K to prepare him for Kindergarten. The school is clean which makes me feel comfortable and secure. I am happy to send my kids there and would recommend to other families.

Every day, we know she is safe, well cared for, and having the time of her life! The teachers are incredibly patient, kind, and thoughtful, and they are always coming up with new crafts, activities, and creative curricular themes for the kids. We also really appreciate that the daycare is very affordable for the area, and the extended-hours options have been especially convenient for our family. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

Our daughter started here when she was of age for the preschool classroom after leaving a…read moretumultuous situation at our prior daycare. She was barely 3 and instantly comfortable, and we never looked back. Ms. Annie and the teachers here are incredibly caring and create a supportive environment for the kids to learn. I recall that these kids really helped each other work through things to problem solve leading up to kindergarten. The school is not just a school or daycare, but a little community. We are still friends with families we crossed paths with until this day. And in fact, we still go back to visit because my daughter had such a positive experience in her 3 years here! Community-wise, Annie really creates that for the families. Every year, there's an annual apple picking event for all the families. There are also family playdates after the day is over, and I recall we even went to the zoo one year. We miss our time here, but I'm forever grateful to have found WSDC. I never doubted for a second that our daughter was in safe hands.

The kids learn and grow in a nurturing and safe place w loving and supportive teachers/staff! . The teacher/student ratio is one of the highest (if not the highest) in the area! . The program and curriculum are well run! Not to mention that the nice and highly educated founder/owner, Nancy, has both MD and MBA degrees (and yes, a Harvard graduate too). Where can you find someone of such high calibers and top credentials to run a nursing school for your kid? Being a parent, I have the privilege of knowing and interacting with Nancy, who is always prompt and professional in answering my questions, addressing my concerns and helps out above and beyond. 120% recommended!

First and foremost, the most important thing we wanted for our children was to find a nurturing and…read moreloving environment. They would be spending more of their waking hours at daycare than home! From the moment we walked in, we could feel the warmth and professionalism of the teachers who fully immersed the children in Mandarin. On a practical level, this school also has the best teacher to student ratios in the area, which helps provide more individual attention to each student. But what makes this place exceptional is the experience and dedication of the lead teacher and owner (mother and daughter team). Through our interactions with them over the years, it became clear of their deep understanding of how young children learn and grow. It doesn't hurt that the owner is Harvard educated!

My 4 year old Twins Ian and Sam started attending OFLC back in September. They transferred there…read morefrom another school and the changes are amazing. When they started they barely could hold a pencil right never mind write letters. Since they have been there within a month they not only can hold a pencil right but write letters (and enjoy doing so)!! They love going to this school. They especially love the science lab (we do too) and the indoor playground/gym. Unlike their previous school, this school doesn't keep the kids outside when it's too cold (30 is the cutoff) and when it is too cold or rainy they still get to spend their energy in a warm setting in their indoor playground which is the equivalent of those indoor playgrounds with safe and fun climbing structures. Another positive about this school is that the directors And teachers listen when you have a concern and make Sure it's addressed. Oh and meals are included although I tend to send my twins in with extra food because they are going through a growth spurt and are picky eaters. While this school is double what we used to pay it's absolutely worth it. My kids have flourished there and it makes going to work easier. Thank you OFLC for a job well done!

We've been happily sending our son to OFLC since he was four months old! He's now almost 2. Every…read moreteacher and staff member we've met has been warm, professional and engaging. The directors know every parent and child by name, and the teachers send frequent photos, videos, and other updates throughout the day. The kids spend lots of time outside and bring home fun art projects on a daily basis. They have taken the COVID-19 pandemic very seriously and have added appropriate protocols to keep everyone feeling healthy and safe. The family coordinator has helped me change our schedule numerous times without even a blip. I can't recommend this center highly enough, they're just awesome.

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.

After several months of quarantine, I really wanted my 5 year old to have a fun summer camp…read moreexperience and with the Covid case numbers going down in our area, I decided to sign him up for a few weeks of the summer fun program at Meadowbrook Child Garden. It had come highly recommended by some parents of precious students, but I also wanted to be sure it would be a safe place for him to be now with Covid-19 procedures in place. Dr Fernandez is very open and clear about their protocols and what is expected from the children as far as contact between kids, mask wearing, and hygiene, which was very reassuring and made me feel comfortable sending my son. They also have a large outdoor space where they spend a significant amount of time in the summer months. My son absolutely loved his time there and always had something fun to tell me about when I picked him up. He enjoyed the weekly themes and the crafts and activities that go along with each week's theme. My son had clearly made a genuine connection with many of the staff and other kids there in just three short weeks, which I believe reflects greatly on the caring nature of the staff and nurturing atmosphere that they create.

Jill and her team are the very best! They provide a loving and nurturing environment that we feel so lucky our kiddos are a part of. They have a school-wide curriculum with age appropriate activities for each classroom and lots of fun themed days/weeks... the last several years they have had an annual Art Show and Trunk or Treat for families, which has been so nice to feel involved in our kiddos' school community. Communication has always been great and we've never felt badly reaching out about the tiniest things ("did we leave the baby's milk cup?".... "did she finally stop crying after I left?"...). Most importantly, the teachers are all amazing and truly have gotten to know our kids and feel like family to us. They are kind, approachable, and consistently work wonderfully with both of our children and their individual needs and we feel so grateful for that! We feel so lucky that BCC is where our kids began their childcare/education and are so happy it is where they will be until they transition off to Kindergarten.

While Bedford Children's Center has amazing and dedicated teachers who truly go above and beyond…read morefor the children, the program, as far as I know, is not designed for children with special needs. Children requiring different routines and attention can sometimes disrupt the schedule and sleep of other children. The director often reprimands the teachers very harshly in front of anyone, which is unprofessional and uncomfortable to witness. I strongly suggest she reconsider her approach and treat the teachers the ones who make parents feel confident and happy with the respect they deserve. As a parent, I want the best for my children while I work a place that can provide comfort and proper rest. We pay a lot of money to ensure our children's routine and sleep are respected, so it is disappointing when these are disrupted. Please do not misinterpret my words, and I apologize in advance, but there are many parents who are not happy with the disruption to our children's routines, especially when there are other centers designed to meet the needs of these children. The teachers are truly the heart of the center and the only reason I would recommend it.
