Although it was a sweet smooth process getting my son enrolled in the school and the staff was so…read morefriendly, it quickly took a turn for the worse. My son struggles with some social emotional skills in especially new environments and as a first-time parent I am still learning and navigating my new life as a mother. However, I feel that Latoya could've done a better job as a director in immediately providing me with strategics and possible solutions on the situation rather than making me feel like a failure as a parent. Not even a hour after dropping of my son, I received a rushed call to pick my son up. When I got there, I had asked Latoya if I could speak to her privately about my son to which she stated he had to be present. I disagreed because it is inappropriate and unprofessional and yet she still protested against my request until she finally gave in. Once we were in a private room, her attitude and demeanor changed to a judgmental, insensitive and unprofessional woman. I felt belittled and disrespected on so many levels because I feel like if she had a calmer, collected, empathic and understanding first initial approach with me things wouldn't have escalated the way it did. She raised her voice on multiple occasions and even raised her finger to point at me which I found offensive. She falsely accused me of justifying my son's behavior without understanding that he may have mental health disorder that prevent him from expressing his words correctly to strangers he does not yet know well . She failed to comprehend that as a mother I am my sons biggest and only advocate and was trying to understand what was going on. My encounter with her has been the worse experience ever. I am quite shocked myself because everything was so good and smooth in the beginning. Overall, I feel like the situation could've been handled better by expressing empathy, patience and professionalism with a calm and collected tone of voice. In the end, you have to be sensitive and gentle with people because you don't really know what's going on in their lives and it's not okay to belittle others. I wish she would've provided alternative solutions and other options rather than guilt tripping me. When I emailed her stating I was leaving a negative review, she quickly stated she had all this information and informative resources that will better assist me on my situation. However, I've been waiting ever since, and she continues to neglect the matter. Luckily, I found a backup plan and have a strong support system and all the resources I need. The learning Experience definitely lacks well trained staff members and could benefit more with additional training and a stronger resourceful leader who isn't riding a high horse.

I was really nervous dropping off my toddler for the first time and the director, Latoya, helped me…read moreget through the anxiety very well!!! She reassured me, first, that my feelings were normal and she allowed me the time to work through them by being able to drop in, not too often as I had to let go, and sending me photos of my little one having a great time. She is very professional, pleasant, knowledgeable, and kind. She is also quite patient, I was that parent that called a lot and she has not ever turned me away but, she listened and gave reassurance and advice where needed. I give her 100 stars!!!

Mr. Hodes (President) lacks knowledge and experience in how to appropriately interact with families from other backgrounds, other than his own (white). In 10th grade, my son got into a physical altercation with another child. This was an isolated incident. I do not instill violence in my children. There was a "zero tolerance" policy in place. So they suspended him and naturally I was enraged by their inability to be open to another approach/ perspective. I emailed and met in person about my concerns. I researched and provided reputable resources to support my concerns. Additionally, my son has always struggled academically, due to being formally diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. He just had a most recent psychological testing by my district that further supported key components that should have urged them to reevaluate their policy. After all that time, energy and effort, it amounted to nothing. Instead, Mr Hodes personalized my advocacy and embraced his ego and privilege of being a white! How typical! Later that same year, I came across him at my sons basketball game. He looked me right in my face with disgust and couldn't maintain his professionalism, especially given his title. He is a non entity, so I found humor in it and was satisfied seeing him for who he really is. Then Mariann Hogan was my son's guidance counselor! What a joke! I have my MSW and basic skills to create a healthy experience under the scope of a guidance counselor was not present. Each year, a new academic support plan was to be developed. I was only able to get two plans out of four years (freshman and sophomore year). Half the time the teachers didn't adhere to the whole purpose of the academic plan. The worst of it all is senior year, during the most critical time of the college application process, she takes three weeks off. There was no one to take her place so my son had the crucial support he needed. This was an extremely stressful time, which should make sense to the average school personnel. To no surprise, my son backed out of the idea of college. Mrs Hogan sent a very strong message with her careless absence and lack to interpersonal skills to have built an appropriate relationship with my son. The whole school needs to get revamped and embrace Critical Race Theory. Culturally, so lost!

Who really reads the whole thing anyhow??!!! She still fails to leave out that my son attended 4 days not 2 weeks as she claims in her insulting letter! She also leaves out how her school recommended my son stay for a 3rd year bc he wasn't ready for kindergarten even though he was eligible! She is greedy and wanted more students which equaled more $$$ and took advantage of the fact that I trusted them and wanted what was best for my son!!! She could have given me a heads up that my son would not have benefited from a 3rd year in her school his new class was filled w/ babies!! Nothing wrong w/ it but not for him, however she was just going to sit back quiet and cash my checks all school year. An ethical person would have said something! Not her though. Also, when I emailed her about my change of heart she could have given me a heads up of the 700$$ charge!! I emailed her about reimbursement w/ no response for over a month!! Don't be fooled she may have followed her "handbook" but nothing she did was right!

Happy is an understatement! Since enrolling our daughter in OFLC-Allston 3 months ago, we have had…read morean AMAZING experience. The teachers and staff are all amazing.... Every single one. Sephora was the one who sold my partner and I (and my mother!) on OFLC and we were hesitant because (as all childcare in Boston) it was pricey but we decided that our peace of mind knowing our daughter was being well-cared for was worth every single penny. Dropping her off was hard as with every parent who has ever had to do it, but Sephora personally checked in on her three or four times during that first day and personally made sure she was okay. Our daughter had a hard time with the transition and made plenty of pouty faces at her dad and myself when we dropped her off but she now LOVES it. She is so happy and calm at drop-off. We place our daughter twice a week and when one of our scheduled days falls on a holiday, we can easily place her another day that week so we always get care for the paid amount. Her teacher, Miss Desiree is AMAZING! This teacher goes above and beyond for our daughter. EVERY TIME I come in and she sees I may be nervous about something, she asks me about it, notes my concern, tells me everything will be fine, then writes me personal messages about the baby's progress during the day. It is amazing! The baby loves her. I really can't say enough great things about her. AND about the center. They have even gotten her to NAP! I am convinced that Miss Desiree is a witch with magical baby powers. Leslie, the classroom aide is also so AMAZING and nurturing towards Reese. I can tell my daughter enjoys it when she is around and interacting with her, and she is so kind and warm and welcoming. Since starting, Reese is reaching and exceeding all of her developmental milestones. Her pediatrician is thrilled with how alert and active she is and I know that part of that is attributed to the way the center stimulates her. One of our most important requirements for our chosen care was that they require all staff and children to be vaccinated. Our Future Learning Center-Allston requires that all staff and students be up to date with their vaccines and it really gives us peace of mind to know that when she comes home feeling under the weather, it is nothing a little rest and snuggles won't fix, which is so important given the recent outbreak of measles in this country as of recently. The center is secure and locked down. Only registered family/friends can pick up your child, and you can only access the building by fingerprint registration. They also use their own app (Remini) to send us photo updates on our daughter throughout the day! I could write for days. Parents, sending your children to daycare is SO HARD! I know. But schedule a tour and I PROMISE you, you will see what we saw and now know to be true about this center. One of the best decisions I have made for my baby since her birth. Don't believe me? Check it out yourself!

Ok, so this review is based on my interactions with staff and our first day. I will update my…read morereview after some time. We first spoke to Julie out if the Marlboro location and in comparison to many other local daycares, her kindness and professionalism blew me away. She was knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions. She offered to set up a time for me to visit the Allston location where we will be sending our son, but I declined because I needed time to figure out when would be good. There was absolutely no attempt to hide the cost of the program, which was awesome because so many schools want to meet with you before they give you tuition cost. I met with Sephora in Allston and she is amazing. She is warm, welcoming, kind, and she didn't rush us out or pressure us. I felt like I had known her forever. I immediately fell in love with the space, which includes beautiful classrooms, a nice playground fenced in outside and a huge gym area. The place was clean and beautiful and during nap time, so peaceful. The teachers were so kind, smiling, not a single child upset, not even in the infant room. On our first day today, my son was ecstatic. It was his first day of school EVER and he has only been watched by family members and very rarely. He was so happy and he was following along with the other children eating breakfast and lunch. I couldn't be happier. And the school was so accommodating, in more ways than I can explain. They didn't even attempt to rush us out or anything when we first arrived. We stuck around to make sure he was ok and they didn't seem to mind at all. Even the parents were stopping to introduce themselves and tell us how awesome the school was. It's like a little community. On our way out we met the owner, Lee, who immediately recognized a new face and asked if this was Ben (my son). He wasn't in a rush at all and took the time to chat with us and ask us how things were going and how we felt so far. I imagine with three locations he is a pretty busy guy, but he clearly cares about his school as well as the staff and families. I know it's only the first day, but so far I am amazed and I recommend that others consider looking into this school. It is one of the most affordable schools in the area and they have a flexible schedule and offer fresh meals and snacks, included in tuition. I've been through this before as I have two girls who are 8, and while I feel I lucked out with great schools in the past, this one seems really special.
