My wife and I have two boys (4 and 1) who have attended Primrose since they were 4 months old. We…read morehave looked at more expensive options and less expensive options and are convinced that Primrose is the right place for our boys. I simply could not disagree more with the other reviewer. The education and development of my boys have been very impressive. The 4yr old was potty trained in just over 2 years. He can read, write and even speak limited Spanish at just over 4yrs. With the limited amount of time my wife and I have with him I firmly believe Primrose is to thank. This is despite some teacher turnover that occurred after a large competitor moved in down the street and actively attempted to recruit away their staff last year. Why did my sons development continue with little relative impact? The curriculum. It simply works. At this age it's the strong controls over what, when and how our children are taught that allows Primrose to be so successful at educating our children. That's not to takeaway from the excellent staff whom we do appreciate. In addition to the education there is also the social development. Our children are not only academically intelligent - they are also polite, caring, social and resilient. Their emotional development appears to be well beyond that of others their age. As I said earlier - with the limited amount of time we get to spend with our boys - I trust Primrose to help develop them into successful students and socially responsible children - and they haven't let me down.

I love that it is parent-directed care (I choose her schedule and routines to match home), I love that the naps are in quiet, dark rooms (and thus my daughter is a fantastic sleeper!), and I love that my daughter squeals with delight every time we walk through the doors to drop off. The teachers genuinely seem to like her too, and this means the world to me.

We had our infant in Kinderberry from March 2021 to July 2021, unfortunately we moved out of town…read moreso we had to switch daycares otherwise we would have never left. This place is the best, the staff are all very friendly and caring and the teachers care a lot about the kids and make sure they have a great time every day. They have an app you download and they fill it with pictures of the kids doing activities and eating/sleeping updates. They have the kids do art and send it home for the parents sometimes. They do outdoor time when weather permits, swim day, etc. Kinderberry has an advantage over other daycares because they have their own formula, food, diapers, wipes, etc so you don't need to drop that off each day for them, it's included in your tuition. It is pretty spendy, but you definitely get what you pay for so it's worth it. Highly recommend!

We have two children, ages 3 and almost 5, at Kinderberry Hill - Plymouth. The center is bright,…read moreclean, full of natural light, and newly remodeled. There are tons of amazing toys and materials to foster children's curiosity and development. Kinderberry's biggest strength, though, lies in its staff and teachers. Jodi, the center director, works well parents and teachers to make sure every child receives "whole child care." We're always greeted with smiles when we walk in the door. Our children have been nurtured with smiles, praise, and, when necessary, kind but firm corrective guidance. The teachers are patient, kind, positive people who truly love children. Kinderberry also has a wonderful nurse on site who has helped to keep our kids feeling well and taught them about some basic anatomy and health topics. Each day at Kinderberry is filled with fun for our children. They do group activities to learn to work together with their classmates and they have individual play time. Their rooms are filled with wonderful materials - toys, a sensory table that the teachers regularly change, imaginative play centers, a computer, reading nooks, etc. The teachers have led both of our children through age appropriate lessons on letters (recognizing and writing them, word families, etc.), reading and writing, numbers and basic math concepts (measurement, correspondence, etc.). Lessons for a week revolve around a theme, which keeps the kids engaged and excited to learn. Our kids usually come home with art projects they have made with their class or on their own at one of the centers. Kinderberry also offers some wonderful extras we haven't found elsewhere - weekly Fit for Kids (physical fitness program), Spanish, and Music plus a wonderful science curriculum once a month. In the summers they run outdoor classrooms ~once / week. The pre-K room goes on field trips about once per month to extend their learning outside of the center. My mom, a former elementary school principal, has been very impressed by this curriculum. Perhaps more importantly, our children have really grown socially at Kinderberry. The teachers have encouraged them both to make new friends and helped to set up situations to foster their relationships with their peers. We're hearing more and more about their friends at home and having more and more playdates which is really exciting as a parent. We highly recommend Kinderberry Hill - Plymouth to all families.

My son has attend BBLC for the past 4 years and I wish I would have found them sooner. We initially…read morestarted out with a part time nanny and found BBLC through word of mouth referral. I was hesitant to enroll him as I lost my first son in 2008 and was nervous about everything with this baby. Here is what I can tell you about this Center, why we chose it in 2013 and why we're going to be sad to leave when he goes to school this fall: 1.) This is not a typical daycare, your kids are their children. These women will be substitute parents. They will love, snuggle, teach, redirect, and clam your child when you cannot be there. You will almost never walk in the door and not see a child hanging on one of the staff members. The kids love them and they love really genuinely love your kids. They will be honest with you and work with you to ensure the best for your child. 2.) The environment is bright and fun! The kids are exposed to tons of projects in many different mediums. They work on letters, numbers, science, and how the world works around them. They celebrate and recognize your children and holidays, even bringing in recognizable characters like Santa for Christmas. They do a lot of special events for the kids throughout the year and even have Ms. Jean every Friday with her musical instruments and songs! 3.) Preschoolers work on school skills. Desiree teaches kindergarten skills such as letters, numbers, counting, name writing, cutting, coloring, etc. My son was writing his name, mom, & dad by the time he was three and when he attended preschool he already knew everything they were teaching. They work a full curriculum to keep the children busy and engaged. 4.) The children go outside, have water days in the summer, take walks to the nearby park, celebrate Earth Day, and even do Yoga on occasion to relax before nap. 5.) They let your kids be kids and don't stifle your little ones personality however big or small it might be--they will embrace your little human for who they are. 6.) Lastly, cost. Information is not available online but you can set up a visit. Pricing is better than any daycare center in the city. Full time rate cannot be beat and is nearly comparable to even some higher end in home centers except it's not an in home. Another mention is that they do open at 6 and are usually only closed for major holidays which is great if you don't have a flexible work schedule. I would say to only avoid this place if you don't want your child to be completely spoiled and loved during the hours you can't be there because the owner will be like a second grandmother and the teachers like an aunt.
