I love the YMCA of Greater Providence. As a former employee, I can tell you that they treat their…read moreemployees great. The benefits are also great. I provide childcare for multiple families that have a membership at one of the branches, and it makes me extremely happy to hear how much they love the Y! Each branch is different, but also the same. They are different with what the location provides, but they are the same because of the atmosphere! The employees are friendly and so are the other members. If you want a happy, positive environment, the Y is where you should be!

My son attended Way to Grow for one year, beginning in August of 2021. What we like most about…read morethis daycare is that the staff and atmosphere are friendly and there is strong communication. Whereas in many places parents are not allowed to enter the building, we were invited to come in, talk, and even sit and play with the kids for a bit at pickup. There was nothing to hide, which is important for building trust. Our 2-year-old (at the time) had a difficult transition. He would cry and scream at drop-offs for 2 months straight. We were called in for a behavioral meeting in the beginning as well, which helped all parties understand the situation better. Sometimes they would call me to let me know what was happening, or I would call and check. After the transition period, he adjusted quite well and became a star student. He enjoyed spending time with the small group of friends and his teachers. As parents, we liked getting picture updates by text or Facebook every once in a while. The teacher would let us know how the day went when we picked him up. There were arts and crafts projects and the teachers tried to find activities that interested individual kids as well (in my son's case, electronics and lights). They even worked with us regarding medical issues that came up. In many cases, they knew more about his ailments than the clueless doctors. The less-than-ideal factors were that within 1 year, his main teacher changed 3 times. This was hard for him. However, each one was wonderful. Food was not included in tuition at that time, which means the extra stress of packing snacks and lunch in the morning. At some points, there was overcommunication, like several emails within a week. Ultimately, this is better than being under-informed. We highly recommend this daycare. Every family is different but it was a great fit for us.

Our son goes to Cozy and, holy smokes I'm so happy that he does! Everyone is caring, compassionate…read moreand patient. They make sure to not only listen to concerns, but to address them and to keep you involved and up-to-speed. Our son can sign, and says some words in Spanish -- all thanks to the incredible crew at Cozy Corner. It takes a village to raise a child and there is no doubt that Joanne and her team are an integral part of our village!

My son has been at Brown-Fox Point for nearly a year now. The teachers and program are…read moreexceptional. The school does have a number of rules and is very structured, which can be offputting at times, but trust that there is a reason for everything that is done at this school. I have seen my son learn to count, add and subtract, recognize and write letters. I've noticed his artwork become more colorful and his creativity soar. The school is more expensive than some others and with this year's winter weather, it was closed more than we would have liked. Alas, you can't put a price on a good quality education and we are proud of the thoughtful boy that we have thriving at BFP.

I can not say enough great things about CHBS. First, a great group of teachers. Second, wonderful…read moreenrichment experience in language, arts, music, and more. Prior to CHBS, my child was in other typical American preschool/k, and no one knew if the kids had BM, or a nap, no daily report, nothing. CHBS gives you a daily report of your children's day- about the nap, bathroom use, noticeable events, growth, etc. I have many books of our daily correspondence between us and CHBS which will be a treasure for me for years to come. I would highly recommend CHBS. Of note- I am from Japan and I can say with confidence they are so kichin to shiteru.

With my Japanese background, I always wanted my kids to grow up learning Japanese. With that said,…read moreit was very difficult for me to speak to my kids solely in Japanese when their dad doesn't speak the language. Enter Cedar Hill Bilingual School (CHBS). Once my kids started at CHBS, their Japanese language skill sky rocketed. My 4 year old went from somewhat understanding what I was saying to him in Japanese, to being able to speak to me in Japanese 100%. He also learned to read and write during his time there. I also have to say the quality of the teachers and program are top notch. You cannot find a better daycare than this one.

I really like this daycare! And that's saying a lot because we've had a lot of issues with daycare…read moreover the years. The director is pretty knowledgeable and has children of her own so she understands the pressure that parents are put under. The lead teacher Kristina in the three-year-old program is also very knowledgeable and goes out of her way to reach out to you if your child has had a hard time transitioning or mom or dad has had a hard time transitioning. It appears that a lot of their curriculum for the younger ages is really based off of routine. This is essential especially if you live in a household where routine may lack.
