As first-time parents, we were a bit anxious about sending our child to daycare. We didn't know…read moremuch about what options were available, so our search began with us casting a wide net. With little prior knowledge of the traditional Montessori curriculum, our initial search expanded the spectrum. After a few facility tours, it was clear that we preferred the Montessori curriculum and style of learning over the traditional curriculum. What sold us further and made our decision easy was the day we visited the new Guidepost Montessori in Bridgewater. Sylvia Chen, assistant head of school, greeted us personally to provide a tour, answer our numerous questions, and help us through the application process. Our warm exchange and the beautiful facility spoke volumes for what we could expect from Guidepost. So much so that my husband and I agreed to submit our application for enrollment as soon as we left the school that day. Fast forward four months and my maternity leave was nearing its end. Sylvia and Jennifer Tisdale, head of school, both made it a point to reach out ahead of time to ensure our son's first day was well planned for. When we arrived for new student orientation our son's guides were prepared to meet us, and it was evident that great care had been given as his name was already visible noted around the classroom. Guidepost's gradual entry for new students allowed us, as well as our son, to adjust easily into our new environment. From the start, we have always felt like our son's needs were well attended to and cared for. The Nido guides are fantastic and are invested in getting to know you and your child. They always have our son's best interests in mind and keep us updated on his progress and needs. One thing we love about Guidepost is their consistent communication. Each day, we look forward to receiving photos and daily tracking notes from Ms. Perrone. While we cannot be with him during the day, this detailed level of communication makes us confident that our son is well cared for. In just the few months that our son has been attending, we have seen so much progress with him developmentally. He is reaching milestones early and becoming more independent each week. He is excited to go to school each day. It is amazing to see his growth and I know it is because of the support he is receiving from his guides. We couldn't be happier with our choice. Guidepost in Bridgewater has exceeded all our expectations.

We joined at the…read morebeginning of the school year, and we are so happy to see how our child is learning and developing at school. I can see how much the teachers care for our child - they provide me with daily updates via the portal, take time to speak with me at pickup and dropoff, address my questions and requests, and call me if they have any concerns. I see how much the teachers genuinely care for my child and the other children in the class. It is great to see my child also enjoy and connect with the teachers. I love the crafts and development activities the teachers do throughout the week - and appreciate the pictures we receive of our child participating in class activities. The parent portal and video cameras (extra cost) in the class are great because we get to check in on a regular basis to see how our child and class is going. Also, the infant head teachers are well qualified with degrees in early childhood education which is good to see at the infant age. The school offers great hours, a coverage calendar for daycare kids that is very friendly for working parents, and reasonable tuition costs. I do think there are administration opportunities of improvement for parents and teachers to connect - mixers, parent days with the kids, etc. Sometimes school emails and notifications are delayed. I also notice the grounds can be better kept. For example, the pumpkin decor from the fall is still up in January. Nevertheless, I have a sense of peace and calm when I drop off my child at AMS - Warren because I am happy with the staff, wonderful class teachers and know my child is happy, loved and safe.

Been here many times as I have a relative who resides in Fellowship. This restaurant, although…read moregreat in appearance, leaves a lot to be desired. There is little to be said for service as it is SO poor. Had to get up after 20 mins of sitting to ask if they knew they had customers ( party of 5.) Just to get silverware was a problem, no bread or anything on the table or offered, food arrives intermittently, not all at one, overcooked and forget an offering of a drink or refill. The staff is entirely DISORGANIZED, ITS LIKE YOUR NOT EVEN THERE. As far as dessert, always a poor selection, they bring coffee but no cream / sugar, you had to ask for that as well.. Had to get up and ask to have the table cleared of dinner dishes. This is not my first time here , I have had many visits but it's always the same. Totally disappointing but convenience is what has you coming back for the residents. Its is just a disgrace, plenty of employees there but I think the place needs a complete overhaul, with staff instructions on how to manage themselves when serving the public. Its a shame because it could be a lovely restaurant in a lovely place but is totally mismanaged.
