We've been a Wee Care family for a year and a half and feel so fortunate to have stumbled upon this…read moredaycare. We relocated to the area and were interviewing nannies without any luck. A neighbor suggested Wee Care and we originally intended daycare to be only a temporary solution. But we were so amazed at the loving environment, the caliber of the childcare providers and educators and the quality of the curriculum for all age groups that we decided to move to full time, permanent care for our baby. Then we also moved our preschooler into their program full time (we moved her out of another local program and into Wee Care). It's been the best decision our family ever could have made. The school follows a curriculum that integrates art, science, music & movement, technology, creative play and social skills. Our daughter is now full time in Pre-K at Wee Care and we are so amazed at what she's learning each and every week. We feel she will be more than prepared to begin Kindergarten next year. The school also does a fantastic job creating a close knit community with events for families (a Halloween party, holiday pot luck, end of year party, etc.). There are also fun special events for the kids throughout the year. The quality of both the childcare and education at Wee Care is second to none. There is usually a wait list to get in here, and it's very clear why!!

I can't count the number of times I came in to find 4 or 5 yr olds roaming the halls without adult supervision. I came early once and witnessed one teacher screaming at literal toddlers. The communication was laughable. We would send in baby food with strict instructions to only feed him that and find out that they were giving him other food that he had never had before. They would keep him in a swing to sleep and not transfer him to a crib. They got aggressive whenever we asked simple questions. Would not recommend.

After searching the area for what we considered the type of learning environment we wanted our child in we were very disappointed...Then one day my wife called and said "I've found the place! You have to see it..." and it was Goddard School in Northboro. It was worth every penny. My child was immersed in a social and educational environment that had her more than prepared for what "big kid school" had waiting for her. Goddard has excellent structure. They have detailed weekly themes and plans and daily reports that can be as involved as you need. How much your child ate...bathroom trips...sleeping...you name it. They have a great classroom setup divided by age...from wee little babies all the way to the big kids on their way to school in a year. They even have transitional periods for the kids to adjust to new rooms and they try their best to send kids up in small groups together. How great is it when your child makes great friends at such a young age. The place was always clean. The bathrooms were clean...The outdoor play areas were varied and exciting for the kids. Next time you see an open house step in an check it out. Your child will some day thank you for it... It sure beats sitting them in front of a tv for 4 years until they start school... Nothing is better than a child rolling into kindergarten reading and writing and doing math! Goddard had safe, isolated computers in every room for the kids to learn PC skills and play learning games on. Putt Putt saves the Zoo will forever be synonymous with computer time for my child. Your results may vary...but the odds are greatly improved with Goddard School.

At Goddard School in Northborough, they have a patient, positive and encouraging approach to the children. The entire school works as a team, a well structured unit, if you will. It's very refreshing to see! I have peace of mind knowing my child is safe and well cared. In the same token my child is actively learning and enriching his mind. My only wish is enrolling my child here sooner. Thank you Dipak, Beth, Ms. Sylvia, Ms. Katie and the rest of the team for shining bright with the children! You're all amazing and wonderful child educators! Our family is forever grateful.

I completely trust the teachers here and my daughter is truly happy when she's there. They have also recently started a private Facebook page where they post videos and pictures of them throughout the day. Just another way they go above and beyond to make parents feel even more happy and comfortable while their child is at school. In regards to the comment below about the allergy- I'm not buying it. If a child had a deadly allergy to peanuts and 911 was not called, an epi-pen was not administered, and no actions were taken in a "life & death situation", then how would the child have survived that? There's no way something like that would happen in this school with the teachers they have there. Absolutely no way.

There is times when I was picking up my child and the teachers are all on there phones and ignoring all of the children right Infront of me. Children would be fighting over a toy and the teachers would be chatting away just ignoring the whole situation. Not having proper ratios for teacher to children. There is a huge turn over rate for teachers, I know something was weird when all the great teachers left the facility and were replaced. The state that the school is a Montessori school, but I hardly ever saw anything of that matter. The school randomly decided to close for a whole week for the week of fourth of July. They gave the parents a months notice. I reached out to the director about how I was not able to get this time off. Being a single mother. She didn't care and was super rude to me. There is no structure in this facility and its sad because it use to be a great day care. Please do not send your children here.

It's a very warm and inviting environment, and you can feel the care that is put into running the facility and giving the children the most enriching experience possible. We love the curriculum, and I continue to be amazed at what they learn and the fun projects they bring home for us. We want our boys to feel like they have a second home there, and we can tell from their behavior that they are very happy and comfortable at school.

All staff has been working in the center for a long time I believe on my tour the director said the newest staff member is going on their 3rd year being there. My child gets curriculum based activities throughout every day and the teachers and directors help my child at her own pace and help her understand the activity and project and unit in ways she can understand. This is also a small center and it is very warm and welcoming the center makes me feel that going to work with my child at this center is like her second home. In the infant room my child took her first steps and really enjoyed the sensory play they do. In toddlers she really loved the playground and the activities that the teachers put together. Before my child went to the preschool room the preschool teachers would see her and me at pick up and drop off and talk to us letting my daughter get use to them on her terms in her own way before being in their classroom the infant and toddler teachers make sure to come say hi to us and talk to her about how big she is getting. This made me feel very happy to be able to know that my child is in awesome and loving hands and that each teacher cares for my child even when she isn't in their classroom. The curriculum is very unique they teach the children the unit and the younger friends work on learning their colors and shapes while the older friends are learning Spanish and their letters. This center also provides breakfast, lunch and snack which is an amazing thing because I know my child will get all of her nutritions she needs for the day. Each playground is fun and exciting and the photos I get throughout the day warm my heart on hard days at work. I know when my child comes home tired and wood chips and paint all over that she had a FANTASTIC day.

She explained the resources available to us through early intervention and private providers, going above and beyond her responsibilities. She helped us navigate the complex process of getting the right support for our son, and her staff was always available to provide input to his providers. As first-time parents, having advocates who knew our child so well was invaluable. The daily updates through their app brought us peace of mind, and over the two and a half years our son attended, we accumulated over 3,000 photos. The transparency and communication were wonderful--we always felt informed about what was happening while our child was in their care. Suzie and the teachers never hesitated to make time for conversations, and our son was always excited to go to school to see his friends and teachers. What more could you ask for? We would not hesitate to send another child to Kiddie Time!

We are also grateful to the other teachers who roate in and out to help, Ms Emily, Ms Karina, Ms Ivonne all make Charlottes day.
