We've sent two boys through Mrs. Perry's Preschool in the last 3 years (one of them is still…read moreattending and will be there again next year). 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.

I have to agree with Liza's review. My biggest regret is not taking my son out of here earlier. It…read moretook almost the entire summer for him to build back the self confidence the female teacher absolutely destroyed. I'm not angry- but want to flag if your kid has issues sitting still, has a mind of his own, or is 0.01% neurodivergent, don't do it. Differences are not encouraged and this place dramatically favors the kids who are most likely to excel (initially) in the tony school districts that surround it. My son is almost 9 and he still talks about what a nightmare his last few months at this place was, but does have good memories of his first year here with the male teacher. My husband wanted to give his last "report card" back to them and I wish we did. Our son has done nothing but thrive in our school district since.

I waited 2 years to write this and I've had 3 other families tell me what a horrible experience they also had. They told me my kid was the hardest kid they have had in 30 years -- and if that's the case I'd be FLOORED. No behavioral issues. No acting out. Nothing. Bad behaviors have emerged with other kids during their time there. They have no concept of what age appropriate behavior is. The man is nice but the woman is a nightmare. Steer clear. I wouldn't send my younger there if they paid me.

I first would like to start off with the good: some staff who have been teaching at the center,…read morehave been teacher's here for years. The bad: staff members are condescending, non-supportive and lack empathy for children. My child was the only child of color at the center and they didn't recognize Black History Month or Juneteenth but celebrated all other holidays. When I brought this to their attention, Heather, the assistant director's response was: " oh, we will be mindful of that next time." This place truly is non representative of a diverse culture, and the world we live in. I was appauled to know that one of the teachers, whom have been there for over 10+ years made a racist statement to another staff, only for this staff member to notify me. What makes matters worse, is that the owner minimizes the parents concerns and makes excuses for her staff's behavior. If you love your child, and want them to feel included, especially children of color AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. - Victoria B.

He continues to learn new things all the time, and has developed friendships and social skills even at a young age.

Additionally, the secure new app is fantastic in keeping parents updated throughout the day on what the kids are up to - we love having everything at our fingertips and seeing pictures and videos of his smiling face every day! I'd highly recommend this center for child care!!

There are a few good teachers in the Children's House, but beyond that, very little has been positive. Ms Manviya is great!

We have since removed our enrollment due to these ongoing issues.

But the second she transitioned into the toddler room, everything fell apart. She came home with undocumented bite marks -- yes, bite marks that no one noticed or cared to report. She was sent home in soiled diapers almost every single day. The staff used the wrong diapers, wrong wipes, and even applied diaper rash cream when I had specifically instructed them to use coconut oil. That was never authorized. It felt like my directions as a parent were ignored. The turnover is out of control -- teachers come and go constantly because they are clearly underpaid and unsupported. The director changes so often that there is no leadership or accountability. The classrooms are dirty, the toys are old, and kids are always sick because the place is not properly cleaned. And if that wasn't enough, their billing practices are a complete disaster. Despite my child being on a voucher, they suddenly decided I owed them $4,000 because they didn't process payments correctly for months. Then they had the nerve to demand I pay it all at once, as if their incompetence was somehow my fault. At the end of the day, I pulled my daughter out because I could no longer trust them to keep her safe, clean, or cared for. I put her in an at-home daycare and the difference is night and day -- she is calmer, happier, and thriving. Guidepost Montessori in Marlborough is nothing more than a glorified, overpriced daycare that fails children and families. They are disorganized, careless, and completely unprofessional. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Save yourself the stress, the money, and the heartache -- your child deserves so much better.

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.

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.

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.

I sent my child to this school for two years on the recommendation of friends. Since then we have all withdrawn our children and are very disappointed.

Their policies are extremely rigid in terms of withdrawing your child or changing your schedule, and they will try to rip you off at every corner. .

My oldest son started preschool here at 2.9 and had a very hard time adjusting as he had been at home with me before that- the teachers were warm, supporting and so wonderful with him. He soon loved it and went all the way through Pre-K there. My younger son is now following in his footsteps. We actually lived in Natick and travelled to Framingham to go to this school. All of the teachers and directors are warm, loving and have the childrens best interest at heart. I have recommended this school to many people. It is a nurturing place for kids to learn, it reminds me of preschools of 20 years ago - a classic nursery school.
