I enrolled my child in this school because it was presented as a strong, welcoming community…read more Unfortunately, that was not my experience. Despite the image portrayed in marketing materials and on review sites, I found very little sense of genuine family community and very poor academics. There appeared to be significant cliques, gossip, and social divisions among both parents and staff. I also observed what seemed to be political alliances among teachers and administrators, which contributed to an uncomfortable environment. Academically, I was disappointed with what was delivered for the tuition cost. My child learned significantly less in kindergarten than my other child has learned at their current school during the same timeframe. For the amount families invest, I expected a much stronger educational program and greater academic rigor. In my experience, other private schools and even some local Catholic schools provide a stronger academic foundation. The school promised stem and robotics for young students and that never Was provided. neasc has been notified of all of this yet continues accrediting the school. I was also troubled by concerns regarding professionalism. Teachers were filming a 5-year-old child and sharing the footage with other parents, which raised serious concerns about privacy and judgment. Additionally, there appeared to be ongoing challenges with teacher retention, resulting in staffing changes and classrooms being reassigned when teachers unexpectedly left. This created unnecessary disruption and inconsistency for students. The school has a beautiful campus and tremendous potential, but the overall organization felt disjointed. Too many things seemed to be handled on the spot rather than through well-established systems and planning. Frequent staffing changes, inconsistent communication, and a lack of clear structure contributed to the feeling that the school was poorly managed. Horrible horrible leadership. I also noticed that Google reviews are no longer available for the school. While I cannot speak to the reason, I believe prospective families should carefully research the school and speak directly with both current and former families before making a significant financial commitment. I would also encourage families to look beyond ratings on sites such as Niche. In my experience, those ratings did not accurately reflect what we encountered. When negative reviews are posted, it can appear that positive reviews quickly follow, making it difficult for prospective families to get a balanced picture of the school's strengths and weaknesses. As a result, I found the online portrayal of the school to be misleading compared to our actual experience.

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.

Sadly we are moving out of state due to our work but would have surely continued with them if we were still living in the neighborhood. The teachers and the management staff are very accommodative of our child's needs and also kept us aware of his activities at the center through their online app. They posted plenty of pictures each day of my son eating and playing with his friends, which was such a huge relief to me as a parent! Overall, it was an amazing experience and would definitely recommend TLE Abington to any parents who are looking for a safe and reliable day care center for their children.

He comes home crying that his teacher is mean and I stressed this concern to her supervisor. 1 day later and as revenge the school literally reported my family because my son had the tiniest bruise on his hip. we grabbed him from running out of time out to put him back in. If you were to see the picture of the bruise...its so small you would ask where it is!!!Call child services on people who deserve to have it called on them. you don't go trying to ruin families and children's lives because someone complained about how there son is being taken Care of at school in the first place. i Considered taking him out for weeks before this and I knew I should have!

We call it a school because it is truly more than a daycare - they are caring for the children but also developing them as empathetic and smart learners! In these unique (pandemic) times, Little Steps really has made sure all state policies are followed. We have felt completely comfortable sending the children in. It is also worth noting that the classrooms are spotless, drop off/pick up is easy, and communication via the tadpoles app is very clear.

Mr. Hodes (President) lacks knowledge and experience in how to appropriately interact with families from other backgrounds, other than his own (white). In 10th grade, my son got into a physical altercation with another child. This was an isolated incident. I do not instill violence in my children. There was a "zero tolerance" policy in place. So they suspended him and naturally I was enraged by their inability to be open to another approach/ perspective. I emailed and met in person about my concerns. I researched and provided reputable resources to support my concerns. Additionally, my son has always struggled academically, due to being formally diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. He just had a most recent psychological testing by my district that further supported key components that should have urged them to reevaluate their policy. After all that time, energy and effort, it amounted to nothing. Instead, Mr Hodes personalized my advocacy and embraced his ego and privilege of being a white! How typical! Later that same year, I came across him at my sons basketball game. He looked me right in my face with disgust and couldn't maintain his professionalism, especially given his title. He is a non entity, so I found humor in it and was satisfied seeing him for who he really is. Then Mariann Hogan was my son's guidance counselor! What a joke! I have my MSW and basic skills to create a healthy experience under the scope of a guidance counselor was not present. Each year, a new academic support plan was to be developed. I was only able to get two plans out of four years (freshman and sophomore year). Half the time the teachers didn't adhere to the whole purpose of the academic plan. The worst of it all is senior year, during the most critical time of the college application process, she takes three weeks off. There was no one to take her place so my son had the crucial support he needed. This was an extremely stressful time, which should make sense to the average school personnel. To no surprise, my son backed out of the idea of college. Mrs Hogan sent a very strong message with her careless absence and lack to interpersonal skills to have built an appropriate relationship with my son. The whole school needs to get revamped and embrace Critical Race Theory. Culturally, so lost!
