After about 5 minutes of massage, my baby would want to sit and wiggle and crawl, and Becky was knowledgeable enough to show me variations on how to massage his wiggly body. She was thorough in her teaching and provided diagrams so we could keep learning at home. I still use the foot massaging methods on him each morning - it's become part of our routine. I recommend The Mindful Child to every mama + babe!

We have really enjoyed being introduced to the Montessori educational philosophy through Sudbury Montessori. The teachers send home photos at the end of each week so we can see our childrens' days in action. They have a lot of opportunities to be creative during the day - our daughter loves painting and gets to do a lot of that. We've also been impressed with their sanitation and organization during COVID-19. We have never once felt vulnerable or exposed thanks to the precautions they've taken and the communication around it. The kids' schedule involves a lot of outside play time and exploring, which is so important to us and not something that every pre-school does. The staff makes themselves available at drop-off and pick-up for any questions, and they're also just a quick phone call away. All in all we are pleased with this sweet little school and would recommend them.

Our family has had an incredible experience at Fitzgerald Community School, and we cannot imagine…read morebeing part of a more supportive, nurturing, and inspiring community. One of the things that had initially drawn us to FCS (and what I believe makes them so special) is its amazing nature-based curriculum. We had sought out opportunities for education outside of the "traditional" classroom setting and FCS is exactly what we hoped it would be. The opportunities for children to learn through exploration, outdoor experiences, and have meaningful connections with nature, create a rich and engaging educational environment that is truly unique. After spending this past year amongst this community, it became apparent that we absolutely made the right decision for our daughter. The unwavering support, love, and kindness shown by the learning coaches and staff is something I imagine would be hard to find elsewhere. Every member of the community is deeply invested in the well-being and success of each child. They meet students where they are, recognizing and celebrating their individual strengths while providing thoughtful guidance and encouragement in areas where they need support. They also work continuously to foster relationships among the community (cross classroom learning, "Friendship Fridays", etc.); to help each child grow not only as learners, but also as compassionate and capable individuals. Our daughter has absolutely thrived at FCS this past year, both academically and socially. Her confidence, resilience and curiosity has flourished and that was in no small part to her being surrounded by people who truly care about her growth and happiness. We are endlessly grateful for this remarkable community and cannot recommend the Fitzgerald Community School enough, to any family seeking an educational environment where children are genuinely supported, challenged, and celebrated, each and every day. We look forward to many years ahead at FCS.

If you are looking for a nature-based, whole brain / body learning experience for your child, I…read morehighly recommend Fitz! My husband and I were looking for a nature-based preschool for our son in Central Mass. A friend recommended Fitz and we fell in love with the program. The school has before care, after care, summer camp and holiday programs. It's our one-stop support system since we came from out of state. The property backs up to a nature reserve, and the kids spend hours outside learning and playing. The class ratios are small, and the different age levels interact with one another. My son loves having an older reading buddy and playing with older and younger kids. I love that my child is getting fresh air, sunshine, and learning through play. One of my favorite parts of the school is the support we got as parents. The owner of the school is an experienced child education consultant. She regularly hosts parenting classes and community events. My child is strong willed and stubborn, and the school taught me how to work with his personality so that everyone in our family is happy and harmonious. One of the core values of Fitz is preserving childhood. In this day and age of stress and sensory overload, I'm so glad there's a place my child can go where he gets to learn and just be a kid. Developing curiosity, relationships, and critical thinking are some of the positive traits we've watched our child develop at Fitz. The only "negative" I can think of is that once you experience this education model it's hard to go back. Once we learned that most of the public schools have 15 minutes outside per day, we re-enrolled for kindergarten. The school currently runs to grade 5. I'm so glad we found it.

I am confident that my daughter always has a teacher and a role model when she needs it. We have enjoyed watching our daughters confidence grow and her interest expand.
