She was recently…read moreout for the month of April because of Covid and just went back, and she is honestly thriving there. The school goes to great lengths to keep everyone safe, and they are doing a great job. I think possibly because of the reduced class sizes, or new lesson structures, our daughter is doing better than ever. She is coming home telling us all kinds of stories and making lots of connections to what she learned that day. She loves going to school everyday and usually cries when we pick her up, because she doesn't want to leave. The staff are friendly and good at their jobs, from the directors to teachers. I love getting pictures and updates throughout the day through the tadpole app. I don't know what we'd do if she couldn't go back to daycare, we are very grateful that Goddard is open and working as hard as they can to keep everyone healthy and safe in these crazy times.

At Meetinghouse he was included and celebrated and came home everyday full of stories about friends and things he'd learned. He loved his teachers and we want to highlight Ms. Maciolek and Ms. Snow in the young children classroom for their dedication and incredible care. They are so good at what they do. They brought calm and thoughtfulness. Our child talked about them with respect and about what they taught him. Mrs. Lancaster and Ms. Abby instantly connected with our child and made him feel part of a great culture. And Mrs. Smith is outstanding in how she runs the school and the tone she sets. We couldn't be happier and feel so proud how how our child learned to be part of a great group. Thank you!!!

My son has gone here for several years, and i was shocked to read the other review- but honestly…read moretypically people only review when angry. My son started this daycare as a painfully shy young kid, and he has grown so much. He loves the teachers and the kids there so much, they are super responsive with us; and I love him going there as well. We also had him picked up there for his preschool regularly and was great we were able to do that. Before sending my son here we had him going in Tyngsboro, MA (which was obviously a long drive there and back) because of how picky i was with daycares- but have nothing bad to say and honestly only praise with this one. Both myself, my son and my husband will be very sad when he will be full time in school and unable to come here regularly and hope my infant will be able to come here as well.

This is not a rant, this is a lengthy letter describing a factual recent event and should be read…read morethoroughly by parents who are contemplating this school as an option. To each their own, but here is my experience: The school is ran by teachers you'll never meet, and most if not all, seem to not be actual teachers with degrees but parents filling in to help, operated by a woman who will insult your child to your face while on the front steps of the school. They will give up on your child because of their inability to discipline or educate, that was made clear right away, when I was told they don't discipline. I was concerNed to hear this when the words came out of the woman's mouth (a few months back) but since meetings or proper discussions aren't a practice of theirs (always rushed with the door barely opened) I thought, this is a temporary babysitting space my daughter seems 2 enjoy, while we wait for our school of choice to have openings. Apparently my 4 year old took out her lunch instead of her snack so this means she has cognitive issues. Careful this place is dangerous, anyone who is NOT medically trained, who does not hold a degree in psychology or a phd, has NO RIGHT TO THROW MEDICAL LABLES ON YOUR CHILD because they simply claim to speak from experience. I have been a mother for 18 years, I am however not a trained professional in psychiatry, psychology, you won't see me labeling your child's physical or mental condition... Three kids, ranging from ages 18 to 4 and I have NEVER had a "teacher, school director" handle herself the way she did yesterday; this woman was seething with rage, like an old poodle! Throwing out a diagnosis of my child, while on the front steps of the school, a rushed conversation at pick up/drop off, while other parents are dropping off their kids... (Meeting like these are handled in a professional setting/manner in private, with supporting documents/notes to go over) & If you dare challenge the woman's un-educated diagnosis be prepared to get kicked off the property with the door slammed to your face while your child is still in the school! (don't worry I immediately removed my child from the erratic woman's grip, forcing myself back into the school, while this woman is screaming for the cops to be called, scaring the children, my child and Honestly everyone else)... As an expert parent however, having sent my three kids to several different schools over the years, what I can tell you with certainty is they have no idea how to educate children and clearly the tired director with twenty years experience should go on a leave of absence, she has no business being with small children. As for curriculum, the kids' daily activities are done on scrap paper, with writings on the back, looks like they tear paper out of old books or folders (not school related) and give to the kids to scribble On. Mind you it costs $255 a week. Your kids clothes and personal belongings will always be lost, misplaced or given to another child; we are out a sleeping bag, two pairs of shoes and at least 10 sweaters, I don't have the money to replace these items. When you ask for these items you will be told to wait phtisies, as you are never allowed in the school, for them to hand you over a bunch of items not one being your childs. Super shady. Back to my main point, they don't know how to discipline or teach toddlers, they will just tell you your child is the issue if your child is rambunctious, a toddler. Your 3 1/2, 4 year old child is the issue. Here's the kicker, they will not tell you anything to lead up to these claims or diagnosis. Over the last 8 months I was told twice (at pick up on these lovely front steps, with the door half open, her wretched head sticking out) that my child was a bit "tough" today... but that's it. So Let this sink in, you could be told your child has abnormal behaviors and these should be assessed, out of the blue, while standing on the front steps of this dump whole, with other parents around, and if you dare ask questions or offer tips or challenge the behavioral diagnosis, you will be kicked off the property, door slammed in your face... My daughter is now 4, she attends two other programs (gym and play group) and these two other businesses could not believe what was said by this woman about my typical 4 year old, shocked but mostly astonished as to how this was brought up to me. This school is a dump whole, and I am riddled with guilt for leaving my baby in their care over the last 8 months! I can't stress this enough, if it doesn't feel right, even though "it must be" and your child seems happy, pull your kid out or investigate.. do your due diligence. Because she's my third, I assumed she was ok even though the school didn't seem amazing or ideal, I ignored the little red flags. Shame on me. Shame on this school for being opened

For more than two years, our family has trusted Primrose School at Bedford Hills with our child,…read moreand we could not be happier with our experience. From the leadership team to the teachers and support staff, every person we have interacted with has demonstrated a genuine commitment to the children and families they serve. Most importantly, they have done an exceptional job helping our child learn, grow, and thrive. We have seen tremendous development academically, socially, and emotionally, and we credit much of that growth to the caring and nurturing environment the school provides. Primrose has created a culture that balances education, compassion, and community. The teachers truly get to know each child and are invested in their success. It is clear that they care deeply about creating a positive experience for both the children and their families. As parents, there is tremendous peace of mind in knowing our child is spending each day in a safe, engaging, and supportive environment. The communication is excellent, the curriculum is thoughtfully designed, and the sense of community is something special. If you are looking for high quality early childhood education and care, I would strongly encourage you to visit Primrose School of Bedford. It has been an outstanding experience for our family, and we are incredibly grateful for the impact they have had on our child's development.

Worst experience! It started out as a good experience when my son started going there at 4 Mos old…read morebut when he got older we started to realize the lack of care they really provided. My son started being bullied by the upper classroom kids and it was my son that was being blamed at 3 years old. We were being threatened by the director of the school that if we didnt test our son for autism or language issues then he'd be kicked out. So he was tested and passed with flying colors. Then we werent told by his classroom teachers that anything wrong was happening until the director basically told us he isn't allowed to come back because hes disruptive (at 3 years old!). We had witnessed the kids bullying our son on the playground and our son being blamed for it when we didnt make it known to the teacher we were there to see it. Come to find out later there was favoritism happening- the kids who were bullying my son was a teachers nephew so he gets to stay and my son was told to leave. The director was threatening and rude everytime we interacted with her. She doesnt care about the students one bit. The original director was kind when we first started there but once Bree stepped in, everything went downhill. No daycare should ever be run that way. You should feel comforted that you child is loved and cared for, not bullied out. I heard from a few other parents that they witness the same treatment. How sad. Very much do not recommend this place if you care for your child at all.

With out us parents she wouldn't have a business in the 1st place. She provides a safe, nurturing and fun place for the children to grow and learn. The owner see's more than we do as parents but if you bring an issue to her attention right away, she's right there on top of it and makes any necessary changes. Having teachers come and go is not always ideal, but it makes me feel better to know that my child is being treated with the upmost respect. I've had the opportunity to witness teachers act one way in front of parents and the owner, but then totally different when they don't think anyone is watching!! I'm grateful RainbowLand has an open door policy! Just because someone has an "educated degree" - doesn't mean they are above everybody else. The state does require education but experience is also very important. As is the nature motherly or fatherly instinct. Things are different in the real world than that they are of a lab school setting!! I would recommend RainbowLand to anyone! They go out of their way to make everyone feel welcomed and a part of a family. I wouldn't have my children any place else!!
