Special thanks to the children who joined us in the first show to play tambourines, maracas, and drumsticks. In the second show for older children, others volunteered to demonstrate their new ventriloquial skills after choosing a puppet of their choice from the big drum case. Volunteers were encouraged to say their first name into the microphone and try moving the puppet's mouth three times as they said "One, Two, Three" with their new puppet voice. Special thanks to Mr. Jarod, the teacher who volunteered to be our HUMAN DUMMY! He wore our ventriloquist face mask, played the "ringy, dingy, thingy" and "sang" our "No Bully Zone" original song with Chelsea The Chimpanzee. (No, they did not sing at the same time... we're not that good!)

We have been at this daycare for 2 years and have had a wonderful experience. It is a loving and…read morecaring environment. They do "homework" in daycare to ensure they are advancing academically for their age. If there is a concern, such as speech, Lisa will have a discussion to allow you to take the next step. The weekly rate of the daycare is very affordable and includes snack and lunch. Our daughter loves going to this daycare and has made many friends and is right where she should be developmentally. I would highly recommend this facility.

Over the past two years our daughter has grown in leaps and bounds through a high quality education and a variety of friendships with classmates.

The teachers are all so caring and attentive and they keep her so stimulated which is even better. She seemed to sleep so much at her old daycare and I wondered if she was doing anything at all during the day for her development. I can see what she is doing at daycare through pictures which are emailed two to three times a week which is very nice. The daily logs are emailed at the end of the day so there is no need for all the paper. Most of all, the facility is brand new and so clean! I had to go back to the daycare after all the kids had gone home and I could not believe how spotless it was. Definitely 2 thumbs up!

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.

As a parent, there is no where else I would have wanted my kids to develop their educations. When they went on to elementary school (in another town), I was asked (by their teachers) where they went to preschool/pre-K. I was told that they were more prepared than most of the other children in their class. Amazing! As a teacher/administrator, there is no where else I would want to work. I am the music teacher (for all 3 locations) and the after school and vacation program director. The home-like atmosphere provided at LTS is true and organic. While still professional, the teachers and administrators at LTS are intelligent, loving, kind, generous, honest, trustworthy, dependable, fun and just plain old nice! The 3 locations are all different and amazing in their own right. The programs offered at each location are well-planned, consistent, engaging and constructive.

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!

With a membership here, you get access to several locations in the north shore and they're all technically your "home" location. I've only used the gym here but the equipment is TOP NOTCH! They just finished a renovation and everything is pretty much brand new. They also have a turf area and a punching bag you can use (though you can't use it if a class is going on). Not to mention, the building (including the locker rooms) is very clean. Outside of that, they have open pickleball, open swim and several leagues that go on throughout the year. Also, this location has a little cafe where you can hang out and get a drink if needed! You definitely get your bang for your buck here. If you're on the fence, go in for a tour just to see how amazing this place is!
