My daughter is new this year to South Boston Catholic Academy, and she absolutely loves it. The…read morecurriculum is the right speed for her and her classmates, the staff is just amazing, and the facilities provide structure, access to great amenities, and lots of opportunity for fun and learning. Without a doubt, we would recommend SBCA to any parents who want a collaborative, caring environment for their child.

Our twins attended TCC from the time they were 3 until 5. We researched several preschools in…read moreBoston, including some of the ultra elite. We chose TCC because by all measures TCC was on par with the ultra elite preschools (student teacher ratio, teacher qualifications), but the facility seemed much nicer, and they have a very large playground. It's also substantially less expensive. It's also very convenient as there is a parking garage with free 15 minute drop off parking, and the 43 bus stops right in front of the school. We couldn't be happier with our decision. The teachers were fantastic, and the community of families is very diverse and welcoming. A few of the teachers have been there for around 20 years, and one even teaches at a local university. All the families that wanted to transition to some of the elite private schools in the city had no problem. After finishing preschool at TCC our twins moved onto K2 at the Hurley School. We were very sad to leave TCC, but our kids were definitely ready for kindergarten.

She looks forward to going to school everyday and they make learning fun. Between the annual holiday shows the teachers and kids put on and the different fundraisers and raffles you really get a sense of community. The teachers have helped with everything from social skills to potty training. I would highly recommend this daycare.

We use Bright Horizons Seaport for our 20 month old daughter and we can not say enough good things…read moreabout this location. The staff are genuinely concerned with my daughters well-being and treat her like their own. The snacks and meals provided are not only healthy but delicious, and they allow you to also bring your own food if you would like. My daughter LOVES the fenced in secure outdoor play space and gets plenty of fresh air everyday, which is something I am a stickler for!! The entire center is top notch, and ALWAYS clean. Her teachers are truly special and help make dropping off your pride and joy a breeze. On top of everything else, they enable you to download an app on your phone that lets you see live daily monitoring (when they eat, when they get diaper changes, when they nap, and daily picture updates of the activities). I mean when I say this is the "Harvard" of daycares, I really mean it!!! If you want a top of the line experience choose Bright Horizons Seaport!!

The staff and director kept in contact with me and offered constant updates. I wish I remembered their names. I had no worries while I was at work and when I picked up Jace he seemed so happy and well rested. I can't wait to use them again! Even though they are in a busy area of seaport there is plenty of street parking nearby while you are dropping off your child.

We just finished up our time at TARTTs because we are moving and to say we are sad is a massive…read moreunderstatement. Our son had the best experience there!! The administrators and staff were all so kind. He loved them. When we started looking other daycares in our new town we were always disappointed - the facilities at TARTTs are so clean, bright and updated. The fact that they included all his meals and snacks was a perk we didn't even realize most places don't do! The app they use to communicate to parents makes everything so easy and they send through photos, videos and updates throughout the day. I cannot recommend TARTTs enough!

EDIT: I live in Dorchester, not San Fran (no idea why Yelp thinks I'm in CA)…read more Our oldest is turning 7 this summer, and our youngest is graduating out of Tartt's, so we have almost 7 years of experience with Tartt's. What that means is that for 6.5 of those 7 years, our kids went to the old facility at 1010 Mass Ave. If you're familiar with 1010 Mass Ave, you know that neither the physical building, nor the location scream "idyllic daycare center" ... and neither of those aspects of life at Tartt's was idyllic. What kept us fiercely loyal to Tartt's was the teachers and staff. Their dedication, their attention to the kids, and most importantly, *their* love for *our* children was what made the physical surroundings of the old location irrelevant. Now imagine that, but swap in a top notch physical facility and a quieter/cleaner streetscape! My only regret is that they didn't move into 56 Wareham years ago...

We took our 1 year old son here for about a year before we had to move. This place is incredible!…read more The staff are so sweet and very good at what they do. My son loved it! If you are looking for a daycare for any age, please choose this place. it's a hidden gem and so so worth it. Very clean and professional! We cried when we had to say goodbye. So glad that we found them!

To anyone considering sending their children to Sunkissed Acorns:…read more Both my girls attended Sunkissed Acorns from 3 months of age and we couldn't possibly recommend them enough. Mabel, Carla, Kelly, Mancy, Ping, and the whole staff at Sunkissed Acorns are incredibly warm, caring, and thoughtful people. In the early days, they helped kids (and parents) adjust to the daycare drop-off routine and progress through the rapidly advancing developmental phases. Whether it was letting us know when to get bigger diapers, help introducing foods, or reinforcing potty training they were with us every step of the way. In the later years, they taught our girls excellent socialization skills like how to play in groups, manage their belongings, and clean up their messes. On the academics side, they taught our girls letters, numbers, arts, science, and even a bit of Chinese! When COVID-19 took us all by surprise and they were temporarily closed like many others, their communication was clear and consistent throughout. As soon as things were ready to open back up, they implemented thoughtful procedures to maximize hygiene and minimize risk to families and staff. In summary, we absolutely recommend Sunkissed Acorns to any families looking for a safe, diverse, and enriching early education environment.

Highly recommend!

The teachers are so kind, careful, thoughtful, and creative, and they really care about each child. The teachers treat my kids like their own. Teachers provide detailed daily updates with photos, what my kids ate that day, how long they napped for, and when they used the potty. We also receive weekly lesson reports summarizing what the children have learned over the week or past 2 weeks, which helps us to reinforce at home what they learn at school. The director, Shirley, is always coming up with educational programming for our kids (like field trips, piano lessons, music lessons, dance lessons etc) and pre-Covid, they had a spectacular Chinese New year and graduation programs where the kids learn dances and songs and perform for the parents. Shirley also is very health-conscious and thoughtful about the best way to keep children, staff, and families safe. My daughter also has many food allergies, and Sunshine staff have always accommodated us very well (breakfast, lunch and snacks are provided--I cannot say enough what a life-saver this is) and the staff have always been very careful with what she can or cannot eat. I cannot recommend Sunshine enough. We love it here.

I rarely post reviews on websites like these though Tartt's is deserving of getting the good word…read moreout. I have two children in the program - one who is a 1 year old, another who is almost three. Previously, we had sent our eldest to Bright Horizons, which has a great, structured program. When we transitioned to Tartt's, I was blown away in the differences in how the centers are run. The teachers and all the staff at Tartts are genuinely excited to be there, engage with the children, and care about every aspect of your child's day. You notice the difference once you immediately walk in to the center from how you and your children are greeted, welcomed, etc. A great indication of the culture is the stability and retention of the staff - which, at Bright Horizons, seemed to turnover all the time and rarely does at Tartts. I think that is a testament to the business being multi-generational family owned vs. a large corporate enterprise that's based on churn and burn. Don't get me wrong, BH does a great job and this is no knock on them. The team has done a phenomenal job of navigating COVID and maintaining safety protocols - I feel completely comfortable sending our kids there. Separately, they have been completely fair and transparent in billing and costs, including pausing any payments while the daycare centers were closed and providing plenty of notice around reopening dates in case our family's needs changed. When we found out Tartts was reopening, we immediately came back to Boston after staying near family in the Carolinas for a few months. It was important for us to give our children an engaging, rewarding, and educational experience during the day with two parents working from home that we could not replicate on our own!

We have had our young children attend Tartt's at both locations in Boston's South End over the past…read more3 years. They are FANTASTIC. The facilities are clean and world class, the teachers are kind, understanding and effective, and we could not be happier with their program. They utilize a great technology platform that keeps us abreast throughout the day on our child's activities, what they eat, when they go to the bathroom, etc. Our children are now moving on to pre-K and K in a great place, very prepared, and we are forever grateful.
