My daughter went to OFLC Comm Ave from 18mo to 3.5yo. She thoroughly enjoyed her entire stay here…read more She had Ms. Zarida, Ms. Melisa and Ms. Mary as teachers and they helped her grow so much, I can't thank them enough. My daughter can write every letter in the alphabet, can spell her and her best friend's names, can count to 20, knows so many songs, and my home is full of her artworks. Most importantly, she loves reading a picture book at home now (which is huge if you need 20-30 mins to yourself in the evenings). (Thanks Melisa!) Another thing that makes this daycare very attractive (especially during covid) is that the classrooms and gym are very big and well ventilated (sq.ft per person is probably the highest among daycares in Brighton), and because it is a new location, everything is relatively new. One drawback is, they still hadn't returned to normal hours and hadn't gone back to serving lunch a year since reopening from lockdown. But they were very forgiving on late pick-ups, so that was nice.

My daughter was fully prepared for Kindergarten, if not OVERLY prepared! Please don't let the one star review keep you from considering this wonderful school. The teacher referred to who had the degree in accounting, was fantastic and was one of my daughter's favorite teachers. During my daughter's first year at Puckihuddle, the staff observed that my daughter was very sensitive to loud music, noises, and singing. They were very receptive and told me right away about what they had observed, recommended that I have her evaluated by her doctor and even provided her with ear muffs to wear when there was music playing, etc. and allowed her to be in a quieter area when she was overwhelmed by the sounds. The issue ended up resolving itself as she got a little older, but I had such peace of mind knowing that they had so quickly observed the issue and worked to help her with it.

It's been a wonderful experience both for the boys and for us. Mrs. Perry taught in the Norwood school system for decades and her experience definitely shows. From the physical layout of the school to the curriculum, everything is very organized. The entire staff of teachers are amazing. They are able to perfectly blend learning with the social aspects of preschool. Mrs. Casey, Mrs O'Keefe and Mrs Shaw are all great at handling the day to day challenges that can arise with kids this age and we trust them completely. I can't overstate that - we have complete trust in all the teachers. Pick up and drop off are done by lining up the cars in the driveway and waiting until the staff come to the gate before you take your kids out of the car. This way there are never vehicles moving at the same time as the children. In the morning, parents walk the children up to the gate where the staff take them inside and in the afternoon, the staff keep the children inside the gate until the parents walk up to get them. When the first group of parents leave, the second group of cars can pull up to drop off or pick up. Very safe, very efficient. The 3 year old classes are Tuesday and Thursday, 4 year old classes are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 9am to 1pm. The kids have a snack in the morning and eat lunch at school. During the school year they will do arts and crafts projects that will help them learn every letter and number. They read stories and sing songs, and generally learn to socialize with classmates and follow directions from their teachers. There is usually at least one​ field trip a year, which is great for the parents and the kids. There are plenty of activities for indoor play including a train table, a play kitchen, dolls, a lego activity table and more. When the weather is nice enough to play outside, there is a playground and a grassy/astroturf area surrounded by a concrete track for the kids to ride bigwgeels around. I just can't say enough good things about Mrs Perry's Preschool and highly recommend checking it out.

As I have worked here I have gained a lot of valuable skills as how to be a stronger educator and teacher in my future careers as a teacher that I will cherish and keep with me for my teaching Journey. I loved each child equally and individually and wish all children at this school the best of luck in transforming into Kindergarteners when they go to the public school level of Education. My hope is that they do well. You all were super great to work with thanks for the experience Goddard of Medfield!

I had a really bad experience with The Goddard school Medfield, I am sure I might have liked it…read moreonce my kid had joined the school but it really didn't happen due to the poor communication from the school and how they handled the situation. I would not recommend The Goddard, Medfield. I paid a non-refundable (don't know if any daycare really does that but they do) monthly deposit to enroll my kid in the Goddard, Medfield and unfortunately, the pandemic hit. I understand the center is closed and the joining date is being moved but it has been more than 2 years now and I still haven't got a proper joining date for my kid. Every time I try to follow up on the joining date the only word they said was they were fully booked and gave a date after ~ 6 months, well if you call closer to that date they say that you were late in calling and we don't have any availability and gave me another date after ~5-6 months. The one comment I didn't like from the head of the school was you paid your deposit and it is your responsibility to follow up and find a date, if you are late in calling us it is your fault. I know the issue started with the pandemic but the real issue was the communication from the school on enrolling my kid, every time I call I get a new date of joining and I had to scramble to find another place for my kid which could be really tricky. I lost my non-refundable deposit but I finally, took the decision that I am not going to have my kid join this school because I am worried about what other issues they might have internally if their communication and leadership are like this and I am not risking that with my kid.
