Not only does my child have a consistent nap and feeding schedule, but Kathy and Shannon make the effort to provide helpful suggestions as you navigate all of the changes a baby goes through from clothing sizes, diaper sizes, feeding, teething, etc. Also, they take the children outside each day and share photo updates so you can see what they are learning! The personal touches and socializing for both children and parents is unparalleled. Our child has created new friendships, my husband and I have met other new parents to hang out with. Our child truly enjoys each day at Tiny Tots and is thriving. Thanks again Kathy and Shannon for all that you do!

My son Jack is now in his second year at the Teddy Bear Club (he started when he was 2 years old)…read more It has been an amazing experience for him and our family. The teachers, the curriculum and the facility are positively amazing. I cannot say enough about how pleased we are with our experience. We live a decent distance away from the school and Jack's mom drives him from our home on the South Shore to Newton... To those of you from the area, I hope this points out just how great we think the school is, that we'd travel that far. We look forward to Jack's third year with the school next year!

The school itself... pristine... locked/gated/beautiful grounds and play areas. The place is safe, the teachers are AMAZING... they care and they know what they are doing. The activities, learning plan, etc.... WOW! The families... the sense of unity in the various families who attend this school... WOW! I really cant express how amazing this place is. My daughter is learning so much from the curriculum and it is effortless. The encouragement, professional staff, cleanliness, lesson plans, overall environment... it just cant be matched. You want to be part of this place and it is well worth the money.

TSNS is an amazing preschool. When we began our preschool search, I had a picture in my mind of…read morewhat it would look like. TSNS was nothing like what I pictured. I had never heard of a Certified Nature Explore school before. I quickly realized how priceless it was to have my kids spend so much of their day outside, exploring their world and cultivating curiosity. You will not find a "cookie cutter" approach to education here. The teachers are amazing, know the children so well and are able to assist them in learning by encouraging curiosity and exploration. Play is incorporated into everything they do and the kids quickly develop a joy of learning. My boys have loved it! As parents, the community has been priceless to us. The toddler/pre-k year's are so tough...It's nice to have wonderful people to go through it with. We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend TSNS.

They provide a loving, warm comprehensive environment for all of the children in their care. Unlike some daycare centers, where the management remains aloof and detached from the children and staff, the BITC Management team are constantly moving through the center, providing support and supervision. I was particularly happy with the fact that their two playgrounds are directly attached to the building and completely enclosed. Choosing a daycare can be an anxiety provoking decision for a parent, we are happy in our knowledge that we made the right choice with BITC.

Deb the director is super responsive and has been flexible to work with our family's changing schedule.

Those introduced to Artisan stay on from infancy through preschool to ensure their child is well cared-for for EEC Certified educators and the peace of mind that comes from a safe and cleanly environment.

My child made a great start at the Coop.

I really appreciate of teachers by supporting my child to enhance her language and independency as well.

Children's Co-op is an amazing preschool. When my daughter started in September, she had never…read morebeen left with anyone but me, her father, or her grandmother. Needless to say, I was quite nervous about leaving her for the first time ever. And as it turned out, the nervousness was needless as well. The wonderful thing about a co-op preschool is that parents take an active role in the running of it. Everyday a different parent helps out in the classroom. This provides an excellent opportunity to view your child in the classroom environment. You get to know and play with your child's classmates. You get to see the teachers in action. And your child gets the pleasure of showing you all that they do in school every day. But you don't have to worry about it being some huge time commitment. Since there are 14 - 16 kids in the class it works out to about once a month that a parent has to help out in class. And if you trade off with your partner, that means just one half day every other month you'd need to be there. Besides the co-op structure, other features I love about the Children's Coo-op: * low student/teacher ratio (in the younger class it's 14 students with 2 full-time teachers, 1 part-time teacher, and 1 parent helper), and the teachers are all wonderful * play-based curriculum - they're NAEYC accredited * great facilities - sunny rooms, fun playground * location location location - right in Newton Center, across the street from Starbucks, down the street from the T, ample free parking * flexible schedule - in addition to the normal school hours, 9 - 12 every morning (except Wednesdays for the younger class) they have early drop off and late stay day options My daughter loves school. So I love it.

From really creative classroom curriculum to outstanding communication between administration, teachers, and parents, we have confidence that our son is in the place that is best for him. We also have confidence that the Beginnings team is doing everything the right way in regards to keeping the whole community safe and healthy.

The teachers are well-trained to scaffold the most important dimensions of early learning: social-emotional development and self-help skills. Pre-academic tasks are weaved through play and conversation and children are quick to adopt a growth mindset, which is one of the most necessary indicators of future success. I highly recommend Beginnings for any parent or educator looking for a truly special, unique school that will give them or their children the tools needed to thrive.
