As a new mom I was very nervous about sending him to daycare but Yelena and Alex, the owners, were so welcoming and eased all of my concerns. The daily report cards and frequent photo text messages help to keep me informed. But the real gem of Kids Club is the Infant Room teacher, Ms. Dani! She is absolutely amazing, so loving and so caring for each of her students! I highly recommend Kids Club to any family looking for quality care for their child/children!

We had our sons 6th birthday with Sports Zone 101 this past weekend and it was amazing. The staff…read morewas great with the kids and kept them engaged the entire time. They even helped the younger siblings keep up witht the activites so they weren't left out. They offered to help bring in anything we had for the party from the car, helped me serve food, beverages, and cake and helped me clean up at the end. They went above and beyond my expectations for the party. The only thing I think could be improved on is the timing between parties. The parties run back to back so there is no buffer between the party before you to get their stuff cleaned up so you can get your stuff set up. Other than that I would definitely have another party with them and recommend them to anyone looking to host a party for their kids!

It was actually hard to find the business in the first place. There is no name or direction to this business from the sign on the entrance. It is located on the back of the building. I contacted the business. No answering. It keeps going to voice mail. I had to chat on their website asking to call me immediately, and then i received a phone call. i was told that staff are arriving by 12:45pm. We finally got in, and the place was like a wearhouse. We had to hurry so much, which is not ideal for party hosts. Staff were trying to help, and kids had fun. That is why i am leaving 2 stars.

My daughter has been going to Odyssey for almost two years, and we've been very happy with the…read moreteachers and the program. We toured a lot of daycares in the vicinity, and Odyssey was the cleanest and best managed. We were impressed with their separate infant room, where my daughter started when she was 12 weeks old. We especially like the pedagogical approach--the school seems to focus on emotional and social development and not just rote memorization (memorizing letters). Now with the pandemic, Odyssey's protocols and precautions have been impressive. We at first considered keeping our daughter home to minimize risk (not possible if you need to get work done, it turns out), and even considered transitioning to an at-home daycare, but ultimately we stayed with Odyssey because they are such a well run operation that we really trust that they're following the best practices. Most importantly, my daughter loves going to school each morning!

Our son has attended Odyssey for the last three years, and it has been a wonderful experience…read more It's a wonderful facility that is staffed by great people. The teachers are always so positive, patient, and kind, and they genuinely care about the children in their care. Every day for the last three years, they have greeted our son with a smile in the morning when we drop him off. The teachers make every effort to make every day special and exciting. The use of the BrightWheel app keeps us connected to what our son is doing while he is at Odyssey. It's great to see pictures of him having fun with his friends during the day. As a working parent, it's a relief to know your child is loved and cared for during the day when you're not together. Odyssey's program strikes a nice balance between educational activities and letting kids be kids. We're confident our son is ready for Kindergarten as a result of his time at Odyssey, but he has also had a ton a fun there and made many friends. We also sent our son when Odyssey reopened after the COVID-19 shutdown, and we felt comfortable doing so because of the care and effort the team at Odyssey put into planning their reopening. I would never believe a five-year-old would willingly wear a face mask, but somehow, they made it happen. I can't speak highly enough of Ms. Amanda and her staff, and we'll miss Odyssey when our son heads off to school.

We just finished up our time at TARTTs because we are moving and to say we are sad is a massive…read moreunderstatement. Our son had the best experience there!! The administrators and staff were all so kind. He loved them. When we started looking other daycares in our new town we were always disappointed - the facilities at TARTTs are so clean, bright and updated. The fact that they included all his meals and snacks was a perk we didn't even realize most places don't do! The app they use to communicate to parents makes everything so easy and they send through photos, videos and updates throughout the day. I cannot recommend TARTTs enough!

EDIT: I live in Dorchester, not San Fran (no idea why Yelp thinks I'm in CA)…read more Our oldest is turning 7 this summer, and our youngest is graduating out of Tartt's, so we have almost 7 years of experience with Tartt's. What that means is that for 6.5 of those 7 years, our kids went to the old facility at 1010 Mass Ave. If you're familiar with 1010 Mass Ave, you know that neither the physical building, nor the location scream "idyllic daycare center" ... and neither of those aspects of life at Tartt's was idyllic. What kept us fiercely loyal to Tartt's was the teachers and staff. Their dedication, their attention to the kids, and most importantly, *their* love for *our* children was what made the physical surroundings of the old location irrelevant. Now imagine that, but swap in a top notch physical facility and a quieter/cleaner streetscape! My only regret is that they didn't move into 56 Wareham years ago...

A Heartfelt Thank You to Rock and Roll Daycare Northpoint - Especially Toddler B!…read more My son began his daycare journey at about 2 years and 2 months old at Rock and Roll Daycare Northpoint, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very start, I loved the music-based curriculum. Music has always been a key part of how my son learns, so I wanted to ensure that continued in the classroom. As a mom who was fortunate enough to stay home with him and have a nanny for his first two years, the decision to enroll him in daycare wasn't an easy one. But, in a way, my son made that decision for me. He would watch the daycare kids playing and walking around, looking so eager to join them. That's when I knew he was ready. When I visited the facility, it was nice enough, but what truly made all the difference were the incredible teachers--especially Ms. Mae in the Toddler B classroom. From day one, she made me feel like I was leaving my child with a family member. She took the time to explain his day in detail, planned activities that helped him adjust smoothly, and showed such warmth and care that he quickly adapted to school life. Because of Ms. Mae's love and dedication, my son had a wonderful first school experience, and I am forever grateful for that. Our daycare journey was excellent because of her, and I wholeheartedly recommend Rock and Roll Daycare Northpoint--especially the Toddler B classroom!

I am so proud to be the first to review Ms. Donna's. My daughter has been going here for the past…read more3 years, and she loves it. She is very shy, but Ms. Donna with her 40 years of experience knows exactly how to deal with the kids, even the teachers are great. The studio is small, but it has a family feel; Most of the teachers are past students, and the recitals, costumes, and dances are high end and full of personality. I love this dance studio and recommend it to anyone.

Happy is an understatement! Since enrolling our daughter in OFLC-Allston 3 months ago, we have had…read morean AMAZING experience. The teachers and staff are all amazing.... Every single one. Sephora was the one who sold my partner and I (and my mother!) on OFLC and we were hesitant because (as all childcare in Boston) it was pricey but we decided that our peace of mind knowing our daughter was being well-cared for was worth every single penny. Dropping her off was hard as with every parent who has ever had to do it, but Sephora personally checked in on her three or four times during that first day and personally made sure she was okay. Our daughter had a hard time with the transition and made plenty of pouty faces at her dad and myself when we dropped her off but she now LOVES it. She is so happy and calm at drop-off. We place our daughter twice a week and when one of our scheduled days falls on a holiday, we can easily place her another day that week so we always get care for the paid amount. Her teacher, Miss Desiree is AMAZING! This teacher goes above and beyond for our daughter. EVERY TIME I come in and she sees I may be nervous about something, she asks me about it, notes my concern, tells me everything will be fine, then writes me personal messages about the baby's progress during the day. It is amazing! The baby loves her. I really can't say enough great things about her. AND about the center. They have even gotten her to NAP! I am convinced that Miss Desiree is a witch with magical baby powers. Leslie, the classroom aide is also so AMAZING and nurturing towards Reese. I can tell my daughter enjoys it when she is around and interacting with her, and she is so kind and warm and welcoming. Since starting, Reese is reaching and exceeding all of her developmental milestones. Her pediatrician is thrilled with how alert and active she is and I know that part of that is attributed to the way the center stimulates her. One of our most important requirements for our chosen care was that they require all staff and children to be vaccinated. Our Future Learning Center-Allston requires that all staff and students be up to date with their vaccines and it really gives us peace of mind to know that when she comes home feeling under the weather, it is nothing a little rest and snuggles won't fix, which is so important given the recent outbreak of measles in this country as of recently. The center is secure and locked down. Only registered family/friends can pick up your child, and you can only access the building by fingerprint registration. They also use their own app (Remini) to send us photo updates on our daughter throughout the day! I could write for days. Parents, sending your children to daycare is SO HARD! I know. But schedule a tour and I PROMISE you, you will see what we saw and now know to be true about this center. One of the best decisions I have made for my baby since her birth. Don't believe me? Check it out yourself!

Ok, so this review is based on my interactions with staff and our first day. I will update my…read morereview after some time. We first spoke to Julie out if the Marlboro location and in comparison to many other local daycares, her kindness and professionalism blew me away. She was knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions. She offered to set up a time for me to visit the Allston location where we will be sending our son, but I declined because I needed time to figure out when would be good. There was absolutely no attempt to hide the cost of the program, which was awesome because so many schools want to meet with you before they give you tuition cost. I met with Sephora in Allston and she is amazing. She is warm, welcoming, kind, and she didn't rush us out or pressure us. I felt like I had known her forever. I immediately fell in love with the space, which includes beautiful classrooms, a nice playground fenced in outside and a huge gym area. The place was clean and beautiful and during nap time, so peaceful. The teachers were so kind, smiling, not a single child upset, not even in the infant room. On our first day today, my son was ecstatic. It was his first day of school EVER and he has only been watched by family members and very rarely. He was so happy and he was following along with the other children eating breakfast and lunch. I couldn't be happier. And the school was so accommodating, in more ways than I can explain. They didn't even attempt to rush us out or anything when we first arrived. We stuck around to make sure he was ok and they didn't seem to mind at all. Even the parents were stopping to introduce themselves and tell us how awesome the school was. It's like a little community. On our way out we met the owner, Lee, who immediately recognized a new face and asked if this was Ben (my son). He wasn't in a rush at all and took the time to chat with us and ask us how things were going and how we felt so far. I imagine with three locations he is a pretty busy guy, but he clearly cares about his school as well as the staff and families. I know it's only the first day, but so far I am amazed and I recommend that others consider looking into this school. It is one of the most affordable schools in the area and they have a flexible schedule and offer fresh meals and snacks, included in tuition. I've been through this before as I have two girls who are 8, and while I feel I lucked out with great schools in the past, this one seems really special.
