I was welcomed in by Julio and immediately I had a bad in my hand and was warming up on the tee. Everyone was very welcoming and I was given a lot of guidance how to swing a baseball bat properly again haha. When it was time for the company softball game, it was like I never stopped playing ball. Thank you Julio and the rest of The Dugout Team! -Kyle

I cannot say enough great things about The Dugout and, specifically, my daughter's coach, Julio. We…read morehad previously gone to another establishment for one-on-one coaching, but the difference in quality was night and day. In just one session with Julio, my daughter learned more than she had in six sessions at the other place! His ability to teach and connect is remarkable. He breaks down fundamentals and techniques, helping my daughter grow as an athlete. In every session, he fosters a supportive environment where she feels encouraged to push herself. Coach Julio has made an incredible impact on my daughter's growth as a player, passion for the sport and overall confidence. I am so thankful to find a place where my child is supported, challenged, and inspired.

I have been here before but did not write a review yet. So I bought a new metal bat and I wanted to…read morebreak it in real good. So me and my friends come go up to Middleton from Chelsea, because indoor cages are in our area are hard to come by. So they do lessons for kids but not sure about adults. They have a decent size for a shop has everything you need for baseball from batting gloves to socks. Now the cages are not bad at all better than most places. They only have 5 and 1 of them is a home run derby kind where you can see the distance of your ball where it lands. The cages are operated per token, 1 token 12 pitches with options for baseball or softball. Slowest pitch is 40 mph and fastest is 70 mph and a softball slow pitch option also. So I was confused on how to get the cages to operate, so there is a machine that gives you the tokens. It's a black machine that's by the entrance where you see the wall of shoe boxes. There is a paper that's on there that shows you how much dollar amount you put in to how many tokens you get. Overall this place is one of my favorite places to go to. They need one closer to the city because it's an awesome place because here baseball never dies even thru the winter.

We did however end up on a team w a handful of Reading people who joined together and decided to leave together. This left our team at a disadvantage and was upsetting for us and our players. I'm not sure what happened, but it could have been handled better on behalf of those families. Not the fault of EI, but our experience suffered some bc of it. We would try EI again for sure and hope that the people on our team have a more team- oriented attitude!! "

My son just finished his first season playing for the A's. It was the best baseball experience of…read morehis life. Not only did he have a wonderful experience with his young team but the coaches really focused on healthy player development, teamwork and the importance of a "team" and fixed the bad habits learned young. My son has also been to many of the vacation camps that they offer and has a BLAST. These guys all focus on cultivating the player's strengths, working on the player's weaknesses in a calm manner, cultivating the love of baseball, while raising the bar and transforming these young players into competitive athletes! Additionally, the communication between management, coaches and parents completely open and transparent.

The A's Baseball Center is a great baseball training center with 4 tunnels, pitching machines, and…read moremovable pitchers mounds. They took the old defunct Extra Innings Woburn and renovated the space with new cages, indoor turf and lighting. The facility is extremely well lit, which is a major plus, as many of the indoor baseball businesses in the area have poor lighting. It is easy to book tunnel time online and their rates are competitive. The owners take a no frills approach to the business. There is no pro shop or vending machines to speak of. The owners love of the game is apparent in everything they do, from running the center to coaching kids in their AAU program. They also feature many quality instructors with impressive credentials. The A's proprietors, Brian and Scott Blumsack also run an AAU program out of the Woburn location. There are 7 teams from 10u to 18u. The program started 2 years ago in this location. They play in highly competitive tournaments throughout the summer and are very involved in the development of their players. If your child has the talent, they can help them get to the next level.

I am sure it will be very busy as people get ready for baseball season. So, take advantage now before the crowds show up. We plan to.

I have my daughter at this daycare and have since she was an infant. She is now almost 4. I felt…read morethe need to write this review because I feel like the reviews on here are the exception, not the rule. 1. My little one has loved all her teachers and has had pretty much the same kids in her school throughout so they must be doing something right. One of her teachers, Ms Diane would lay with her to help her get to sleep because she was having trouble for a while. That is literally the only break she (Ms Diane) had all day and she sacrificed her alone time to give my daughter piece of mind. 2. My girl had an issue with another boy in the class that kept biting her and eventually hit her (in the span of a few days). The day care and Sarah immediately dealt with it and separated them as well as putting measures in place with the little boy to make sure their parents dealt with the issues (I wasn't privy to the exact measures as there are privacy issues but I do know they did more than just separate their classes). 3. To the response about working parents (I am a director at a 50Mil Dollar company). Yes, it is hard that you need to keep your little one home for 24 hours after a fever but they do that to protect the other kids and if they didn't do this, you would end up with a daycare that has kids getting sick more often and can't come in anyway. The minute you get one child with of hand, foot and mouth or anything contagious they use a system to help clean the classrooms. 4. I literally toured over 8 daycares before sending my girl here and NONE of them had what Goddard did. There are very few part-time kids here but those that are feel just as welcome...how do I know? My daughter and I have play dates with a part time little boy and his mom and I have asked her. 5. Kids fall, they are learning to walk and learning how to play nice. Kids get bruises and bumps. This will happen at all daycares, it's how the daycare deals with it that matters...and Goddard does it well. And you child will have diaper rash, they cannot possibly change a diaper every time a child pees, there are just too many kids but Goddard has a rule about how often the diapers should be changed. 6. Ok, they do a few things that annoy me like putting her sippy cup upside down in her bag, encouraging me to stop her thumb sucking when i don't think she ready and some other small things but overall this is a great school with staff that really care.

Both of my children went through the Goddard School from their infant and toddler years right…read morethrough Pre-K. We were with them through first steps, first solids, first words, navigating a pandemic, potty training, having a sibling, losing teeth, learning to ride a bike and write their name, making friends and becoming self-assured and self-sufficient 5 year olds that were ready to make a seamless transition to Kindergarten. Not only is the facility and outdoor play spaces beautiful, but the school follows a curriculum that is shared each week and brings in outside companies, librarians and more to do specialized activities onsite as well. From bike days to pizza/pj fundraisers, apple pie making for Thanksgiving, to art shows, there was always something to look forward to. When we looked at many daycares when my first child was born, this school stood out leaps and bounds above the rest for having an educational plan in place, not just child care. I can't thank the Goddard School enough for the role they have played in such formative years for my children. The teachers care about the kids like family.
