I recently went on a tour of the program and although I liked what I saw, I did not like the…read moreattitude of the director. In my opinion, she was not very warm or welcoming to me. She kind of had a serious tone and wasn't helpful with giving me payment options and asking if I could afford it or not. She was very blunt about telling me the registration fee. It's like she was wearing a fake smile. Due to the impression that she left on me, I will not be enrolling my child. It sucks because kindercare has a great reputation and I want the best for my child but I do not want to have another interaction like that again with the director.

Words can't express how much we LOVE this KinderCare! The seasoned teachers and long-standing…read moreleadership are clear to see from first interaction. While I was nervous to start my son last July (mid pandemic), KinderCare always made me feel comfortable with the procedures in place to keep the kids safe! Now my 2 sons attend and the teachers could not care for them any better. Shout out to the infant teachers who have really raised two happy happy happy boys in those difficult months- both developmentally and mentally for me! Rose, Tia and Poli are the best! My toddler is always smiling on drop off with Janelle and Tracy. I have a demanding career in healthcare (what a time!!), and I know everyday they are so well taken care of and loved! The kids are thriving and LOVE coming to school. They are also so tired at the end of the day from the physical and educational stimulation that they sleep 12 hours straight (always helps!). I guess the only negative would be that the location might not be convenient for the work from home'rs, but I would recommend all my friends to this childcare without any hesitation, esp if it is convenient! Plus; they have an enclosed playground right on the square! Kids LOVE!

Finding a daycare you can fully trust is not easy, but A Place To Grow has truly exceeded our expectations.

After five incredible years with A Place To Grow, I can wholeheartedly say this has been one of the…read morebest decisions we've ever made for our family. From day one, it was clear that this wasn't just a daycare, it was a second home filled with warmth, care, and genuine love. The staff are exceptional, nurturing, patient, and truly invested in each child's well-being and development. Our children were not only safe and happy, but constantly growing, learning, and thriving. The balance between structured learning and play was perfect, and thanks to the strong foundation they built here, both of our kids transitioned into kindergarten with confidence and curiosity. We especially appreciated the consistent communication, thoughtful updates, and open-door approach of the teachers. We always felt informed and supported. Leaving APTG is bittersweet, it's hard to say goodbye to a place that has been so special to us. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be truly seen, supported, and celebrated, A Place to Grow is it. Erika Mom of Jake and Elin

I love the relationships the teachers have with their students. The teachers and office staff go above an beyond to touch-base and connect with families. Their classrooms are fun, lively and connected. I love the playroom, library and neighborhood walks, water play, arts/crafts/routines. Amazing daycare!

They go on daily buggy rides outside. They also have a tumble play room inside that the kids love. In the young toddler room the center provides breakfast and snack. You pack the lunch. Each child has a cubby to keep their extra clothes and diapers in. We were going to take my daughter out of daycare for the summer because my hubby is a school teacher. She just loves it so much and we didn't want to get her out of the routine so we just decreased the amount of days per week that she is there in the summer. We still receive a daily report of how much she ate, diaper changes, and what she did all day.

Every day he came home full of excitement, stories, and new things he'd learned -- from creative crafts to outdoor adventures. It was clear how much fun he was having and how safe and supported he felt. The staff were incredible -- patient, energetic, and truly engaged with the kids. We were so impressed by the thought and care put into every activity. Elliott made new friends, tried new things, and came home MORE CONFIDENT and happy each day. We're so grateful for this camp and can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you for creating such a positive and unforgettable summer for our child!

Chatterbox has been so amazing for my son! He was initially going to an in home daycare and I…read morewasn't sure how he would adjust to a larger setting. The owners and staff were very reassuring throughout his transition. I absolutely love that they give daily progress reports for things that he's done and eaten for the day which was different from his previous daycare. Even with him being 2 he's learning and progressing ahead of his age group. What I appreciated most about the staff and owners is their love and care for my son. When he came down with a respiratory infection they checked on him daily to ensure he was okay. I am elated to see other parents walking out happily with their children as well. Mrs. Vanessa and Chanelle (the owners) are HEAVEN SENT! I also get cute little pictures of him while he's there for those mommies that have separation anxiety

This location isn't currently open. Regardless, I can't recommend this company. We had our kiddo…read morethere (he started a little after 12 months), and there was a range in the quality of teachers like at most other daycare. I did notice some teachers in the older kids' classrooms sharply yelling/screaming at kids from time to time (not what I wanted for our kiddo, but he wasn't in that room, so it was a "cross that bridge when we get to it" situation). The problem was the purposeful lack of communication and withholding of information. The director and company knew their lease was up. They knew their new space wasn't finished yet (literally not built, and no occupancy permit). They knew in January it wasn't going to be ready and ended up asking for lease extensions for about 4 months. They never told parents about this tenuous situation; it was always just, "oh, we'll be moving in [insert new month]." Not a word that construction wasn't even going on at the new place because BUILDING PERMITS hadn't been issued, and that they had no other backup plan. Well, the lease extensions ran out entirely and the building owner told them they had no more extensions and had to vacate. Did they tell parents? No. They waited until there was just 2 weeks before abruptly telling parents their only Pittsburgh location was closing. Oh, but we could request to be put into one of their suburban locations, the closest of which was 30 minutes+ each way with traffic (and at least 45 minutes driving near the end of the day because of rush hour). So, at least 2 hours each day of driving to/from daycare; out and back, out and back. Even getting a straight answer from them about which suburban location they'd place my son at was a nightmare. We had no other option, because they purposefully waited so long to tell us parents what they had known for months. We did the 2 hour drive for two weeks to see if it would work, while frantically searching for other daycares with open slots. The suburban location also treated anyone from the city like a second class citizen. Suburban staff acted like the Pittsburgh kids weren't their problem, they were just taking up space; it really seemed like there had been no planning or communication about the Pittsburgh kids coming. NO PLAN for parents to sign kids in and out; wouldn't let us use the electronic sign-in/sign-out system the suburban parents got to use, wouldn't give us door codes like we had at the other location and like they had for their suburban parents (until Pittsburgh parents repeatedly complained), no bins for kids to store stuff like extra clothes (and they literally had empty bins in my son's room; I heard a Pittsburgh teacher politely ask if they could use them for our kids since they were empty, and she was VERY FIRMLY shot down, "No. You CANNOT use them." No explanation.), not enough hooks, etc. for coats/hats/mittens, and they crammed all the Pittsburgh kids into one classroom regardless of age: infants, one year olds, and older toddlers all in the same room. Napping was a nightmare. I felt so bad for the Pittsburgh teachers. All in all, I wouldn't trust this company or the Pittsburgh Director (Maggie) again. The two stars is only because we had one excellent teacher who we really liked and miss. Hilarious note: the company employee's five star post was posted AFTER they closed this location.

From a parent's perspective... the director / leadership at this place with Maggie is the worst…read moreI've ever seen and I've brought three children through this facility over the past 5 years. Her communication is absolutely horrendous and extremely unprofessional. An alleged abuse incident involving my child and his behavioral tech occurred at the facility and was reported to DHS by daycare staff. Yet, Maggie - the director - never called us to tell us this happened. We only found out because DHS called us to come to our HOME and investigate. When we questioned Maggie about it she said, "I didn't want to bother you with it". Are you kidding me?!?!? Whether this report was unfounded or not, we - the parents - should have been notified. That's communication 101. This is just one example of her poor communication but I have an entire list. *Also... people who have been accused of child abuse work here. Leadership will tell you it's unfounded / retaliation between disgruntled teachers and maybe that's truebut I wouldn't risk it if I were you.

Let me start off by saying this is the best daycare in the brookline area. Ms. Tina and Ms. Linda…read moreis what I consider top tier. My child has been attending since the day they opened their doors, she is treated like family from the time she arrives until I pick her up. I've never experienced an issue, the communication is number 1. They even do quality care checks to make sure your child is thriving at home. They make it so easy that all you have to do is drop your child off. They provide nutritional food choices, diapers and wipes. If your looking for a nice clean quality daycare please look into them. I promise you won't be disappointed.

The teacher Christina Willson is extremely rude she yelled at me for "knocking on the door to loud"…read moreafter I was out there waiting to pick my kids up for over 10mins. I knocked regularly the first time then 10mins later knocked a littler harder to make sure they heard me. We also had an incident where my kids (2 boys age 3 and 5) came home in the same diappers/pull ups they had on when they were dropped off. They were their 8.5 hrs and wasn't changed once! The teacher has now been doing petty things ever since I asked her about my kids being in the same diappers. She calls and says they need picked up for "rashes" (we went to the doctor and was confirmed it wasn't a rash) ect. Just very unprofessional on how they treat the parents and some child neglect happening there. Wouldn't take your children there!!!
