I can't say enough of about CBE ELC! My daughter has been attending for almost three years now, and…read moremy son has been there since last September. The entire staff and environment there is warm, friendly and attentive. My kids love going to school each morning and adore their teachers! The teachers are so nurturing and really do treat the children as their own. The facility is clean, spacious, sunny and well-maintained. I feel very involved with the daily HiMama email communication/updates and pictures, it's greatly comforting and appreciated! At ELC there is a focus on learning through play, and the teachers create fun, engaging activities that are developmentally appropriate. My children have really blossomed since starting and we could not be happier. If you have any doubt about where to send your children, please don't hesitate in contacting Susan, the director CBE ELC!

I am beyond grateful for Applewild Deven. We just graduated our 3rd boy from Pre-K and are…read moreheartbroken to leave. To be able to wholeheartedly trust the folks at AW to care, educate and nurture my boys while I'm at work is such a gift. The teachers and directors are such loving, smart, helpful and fun people and it's felt like a little family the last few years. The friendships my boys have built here have been beautiful to watch. The teachers bring the kids outside in all weather and all the adventures and play become an opportunity to learn, build, grow and spark curiosity. I cannot say enough good things- we are beyond grateful for this wonderful place and amazing people!

I WAS very very excited about this school- it seemed to have the perfect balance of structure and…read moreplay; outside and inside; natural materials for play; kind and calm teachers etc. BUT we were completely BLINDSIDED when they gave us a 2-week notice and kicked our little 5 year old boy out of school! Granted, we did have two virtual meetings to talk about his behavior- he was having potty talk, throwing toys sometimes and blowing raspberries/ making fart sounds with his friends (which the teachers said he was spitting on kids!!). When we met, I offered them suggestions about what works at home when he is giving us trouble but mid-sentence I was interrupted and persuaded time and time again that he needs an evaluation. I am sorry Applewild, five year old boys are just like that sometimes. I am very disappointed and heartbroken over their course of action. The director seems to be heartless. The teacher was so timid she didn't stick up for our son. The assistant teacher's main objective was making sure we got him evaluated. Which, we are right now...and he's doing great (he is above average!). They are not finding ANYTHING wrong. During his evaluation, the specialist told me that this is not the first time THIS YEAR that Applewild has kicked out children! Mid year- March! So now we are left scrambling for a new school, my son has anxiety about starting a new school, we have to get evaluations done just to prove Applewild wrong...so much stress! In conclusion, if you have a daughter, she will love this school. I would have loved it. If you have a child that needs firm rules and can get excited around other children, then Applewild will probably find your child to be "behavioral." I am deeply, deeply saddened by Applewild's approach. I have never in my life written a Yelp review- I am a very understanding person. This experience has rattled me to my core though. Something has to change with this school and they certainly should never try to persuade parents that something is wrong with their child. Shame on you, Applewild.

Our child recently completed his time at Acorn (he started as an infant), and we could not have…read morebeen happier with his care there! We were apprehensive about sending him to daycare, but it was immediately clear that he was in a safe, loving environment. Everyone on the team was genuinely happy to see him each day. They showed interest in the things that were important to him and incorporated his interests into his learning and development. From a logistics standpoint, staff were communicative, responsive, and attentive. The team handled our child's multiple food allergies professionally and confidently. We received detailed, personal updates daily. Even teachers and staff that weren't in his classroom knew our child and supported his growth and learning. They were flexible and supportive when we needed to change his schedule for several months to accommodate a family emergency, and were open to amenable to our preferences with big milestones (e.g., potty training). I'm not the type to write reviews, but I couldn't let my child leave Acorn without offering the kind of input I wish I'd had when we were first researching daycare options. Highly recommend this lovely team.

Professional childcare educators do not apply to this Center! They are unprofessional and do not…read morefollow best practice procedures. To begin with, I applied here as an infant teacher and later found out that teachers were not following safety procedures such as hand washing with the children and leaving teachers out of ratio. As a child care professional, I have always washed children's hands after their diaper changes even in the infant classroom. Also, when I worked with one of the floating staff, she placed a one year old in a time out! When these concerns were brought to the head teacher and office, we did not see eye to eye. The owners and director blamed me for "gossiping." Which is completely opposite for what I was doing. Next, they do not take the infants outside! I tried to stress with the staff how important it is to get these children outside for fresh air. The children were bored. There were not many activities for them to keep busy. In conclusion, I was out sick one day and I sent a message an hour before my shift. The office gave me a hard time because I did not message them two hours before. I was unable to send them a message out there specific time, but made sure I messaged them as soon as I could. I was let go in an unprofessional manner and was not given any warnings before the day that they let me go. A week or two before my dismissal date I asked the head teacher and office how things were going overall with me and everybody said that I was doing a great job. Beware and do your research before accepting a job at this establishment.

The Learning Experience is so much less than what it portrays itself to be…read more Being someone that has exponential experience in this industry both as a parent and as an employee, I have never in all of my years seen such staff turnover the way TLE of Littleton experiences, leaving families and children no time to even learn the name of their "teacher" before that teacher is suddenly " no longer with the company" or they get removed from their classroom to accommodate other rooms on a last minute whim! Not to mention that more than 80% of the staff are brought on to the company with little to know experience in childcare at all and do not have the proper safety qualifications to be in a classroom. The Learning Experience prides itself on its curriculum and enrichment program, yet NONE of it is actually being applied in classrooms and with students. The Center Directors (Lynn Wheeler) daily motto is to "Roll the Dice" and "Fake it til you make it!" Constantly putting up a facade and a rushed together presentation for families, cooperate and the franchise owners any time they make an in person visit. This company is constantly trying to convince the families, the staff and the public of how well they have their company established yet everything is completely falling apart behind the scenes. Staff members are overworked, underpaid, forced to work over time hours because of lack of staffing, the Center Director does not clearly communicate with staff and holds favoritism with particular staff members. The Learning Experience is certainly an unforgettable experience and one that I personally would never wish to remember. A company that has no regard for other peoples well-being, a company consumed with selfish administrators and leaders, with no regard to acknowledge the efforts, sacrifices and willingness put forth by staff members and no regard for the parents that are oblivious to the reality of what is the disgraceful TLE of Littleton MA.
