The facility has two spacious, child-oriented classrooms to enhance self-direction, organizational, and fine-motor skills. Treetops is located in beautiful Fiskdale, MA on over 1 acre of land for discovering, gardening, exploration, and developing gross-motor skills. In 2008, Treetops celebrates our 35th year in the tri-community area, and continues the mission of providing a "prepared environment," possessing certain order and allowing children to learn at their own capacity in a non-competitive atmosphere. The many different areas of the classroom (listed on right) help teach academics as well as social skills. Together we build a peaceful classroom where harmony, kindness, and acceptance are encouraged.

We recently moved to the area, and finding the right school for our son Kai was one of our biggest…read morepriorities. From the very beginning, the team at eBridge Montessori made us feel welcomed and supported -- even conducting a virtual tour and handling the admissions process remotely while we were still preparing for the move. That flexibility and care really stood out to us. Now that Kai is attending, we can truly see the difference eBridge is making. He's become so much more independent, confident, and socially engaged -- and he absolutely adores his teachers and classmates. The teachers are incredibly nurturing and seem to intuitively understand what each child needs to thrive. We also love how they involve us as parents, offering guidance and resources to help us bring Montessori principles into our home as well. It feels like we're learning and growing right alongside him. eBridge has already helped us feel like part of a real community here. They are living their mission of being a "bridge" -- not just between children and learning, but between schools and families. We were even able to start Kai with half days during his transition, which we greatly appreciated, and he'll be moving to full days in January. And we're already planning for our younger daughter, Vera, to join when she's ready! We couldn't be happier or more grateful. If you're looking for a warm, thoughtful, and truly child-centered school -- eBridge is right for you!

The teachers and staff are warm and very caring. The school treats staff well, and so they stay on for years. My son still sees a teacher he had as an infant on a regular basis. The staff and program focus on what's best for the kids, and ask for a level of engagement from parents that may be greater than a regular daycare or preschool. Nothing is mandatory, but it does encourage a level of interaction that has truly bred a nice community. I'm so happy we found eBridge and can be a part of this special place.

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.

I feel obligated to leave a review because their 5 star rating on yelp was one of the big factors…read morein us choosing this daycare. We had a really hard, frustrating and short lived experience with this school. My son (4) joined in June '21 because we'd moved too far from the daycare he'd been at since 18months. At first sight, the school seemed like a good fit. The owner, Dipak, gave us a tour and he seemed nice. We didn't meet the teacher prior to enrolling because I'd heard such amazing things about other Goddard locations. The problems started Day 1. I called to speak with the teacher reiterate that my son shouldn't take naps, and that he needs encouragement with the potty. His teacher was incredibly rude to me. Told me that all the children nap, basically tough luck. We communicated this with the director, Beth, (who as an aside, Is a super sweet caring lady we really liked, if only everyone else there was like that), and we worked out that we would send in a little bag of toys every day to have my son play with during nap time. We don't think it worked, he was never tired at the end of the day, and more than once he told us his teacher told him not to tell us he slept. (Who knows what's true with a 4 year old but when he wouldn't even fall asleep during a car ride at 9 pm, we felt pretty confident he was napping.) Next was the TV- we asked him what his favorite part of the day was and he excitedly told us "when we watched the episode of Peep and the Big Wide World." I was shocked, I'd never heard of a school playing show for the kid. I was told it's just during transition times and said it was fine but obviously a surprise and not our preference. Then a few weeks later my son started telling us "How come you don't let me watch shows at school?" Or "Miss Ornela lets the other kids watch shows but not me." He started regressing in potty training and still to this day tells us about how mean the teachers were when he had accidents. At a pick up, my partner asked if he had an accident and in front of our son, his teacher very harshly and abruptly said "it's not an accident, this kid simply isn't potty trained." He came home one time in tears so hungry, telling me that the teacher wouldn't let him eat his snacks (he still had snacks in his lunchbox). I personally saw how the staff spoke to the children at pick up and got a weird vibe. Lots of harsh commands, short tempers, something was off. And we tried to communicate all or most of these issues with management. Beth certainly tried her best to help, but the owner never did. And nothing every changed. He only lasted the summer here before we moved him to a Montessori school in the next town. Just 2.5 weeks in, he's falling asleep at 7:30, loving going to school, has had no accidents at school, is eager to go every morning, and even had some good speech progression (his new teacher helped him finally say Fs). The saddest part for us is he keeps telling us how awesome it is that "the teachers at the new school are actually nice."
