I am blown away by the variety of activities the children are doing. Especially when at a very young age she would bring home little art projects. They have a weekly sports camp and the Tumblebus. My daughter has absolutely blossomed at the center and we are blown away by what she has learned at such a young age. If you are looking for quality childcare that won't break the bank take a tour! These ladies have put together a really special place.

I highly recommend The Concord Carousel Preschool. Our son graduated this past spring after three…read moreyears of attending. Our second child will be starting this autumn. There are four classrooms, two teachers per classroom - it makes for a nice, friendly community. The teachers are wonderful and provide a warm and nurturing environment that builds confidence and encourages exploration, creativity, and learning. Our son thrived here. I was concerned that three years of preschool was going to grow stale but that was absolutely not the case. The little 2.9 yr old child who started two days a week was very different from the 5 1/2 yr old, going four days a week, that graduated but I feel each classroom experience met this growth and change very nicely. The school is in the same building as The Council on Aging and the school and the council make the most of this unique set-up with the preschoolers performing for the Council on Aging community at various times throughout the year, and the members of Council on Aging helping the children pick out Mother's Day gifts from their gift shop. The children work hard to prepare and are so proud after their performance. The location also enables the children to take a weekly walk and trip to the library and other walks around town. With one stay-at-home parent, we only needed a true preschool experience, not daycare, but the preschool offers Stay and Play on Mondays and Wednesdays that extends the day to 2:30pm. I found this very useful if I needed extra time in the day. We also took advantage of Stay and Swim where the kids are bused to Beede for a swim lesson on Wednesdays. The children are learning art, science, and math every day through their activities and play. The teacher shared all that the children were learning in her weekly newsletter. Stand-outs from this last year alone - Learning about Concord's amazing authors and then taking a hike in the same woods they hiked; learning about the world's most talented artists, making art in the style of these artists, then capping it off with a field trip to the MFA; reinforcing the value of giving back and helping others from a month long dedicated service unit where the children do things like collect old towels for animal shelters, candy for soldiers, and actually go shopping to put together a holiday meal for a family in need. Each year they put out a yearbook for the school. I love that he will always have these books to remind him of his time in preschool. The graduation ceremony was a beautiful (tearful for mom) send-off to kindergarten and, after speaking with my son on his first few days in kindergarten, it is clear that Carousel Preschool helped prepare him for an easy transition to kindergarten. As you can tell from this review, we are big fans of this preschool. :^)

They share the playground with the Concord Children's Center. They offer an optional stay and play program, swim lessons at the Beede Center, and a summer program. The kids go on many fields trips (local businesses, Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, local farms, etc.) and walk to the library across the street on a weekly basis. Unsurprisingly, they have a close relationship with the Concord public school system, which allows them to really ease the transition to kindergarten (they even organize field trips to kindergarten) and provide valuable information about your kid's needs and strengths to their new school. We also liked that all teachers are experienced and mature individuals. You will not be leaving your kid with a 19-year-old. It's a well run, creative, and welcoming program.

It shows in the culture: access is inconsistent, accommodations are treated as optional, and disabled voices are pushed aside. Only selected few are spotlighted as a form of tokenism. These issues aren't new. The school has a long history of racism and ableism that continues to shape how deaf students, staff, and families are treated. When concerns are raised, they're dismissed instead of addressed with real accountability. Families deserve to know these patterns are ongoing. Deaf people, especially those who are also people of color, queer, deserve better than a school culture that refuses to change and apologize to those who they have caused harm to.

They regularly host fun, family-friendly events that make us feel like a real part of the community. We initially chose The Learning Experience because of the strong curriculum and the nurturing environment, and it has absolutely lived up to our expectations.
