After relocating to Massachusetts nearly two years ago, we began searching for a preschool that was…read moreacademically strong, nurturing, and safe for our child. We quickly realized that Primrose School was the perfect fit. From day one, the entire staff has been kind, communicative, and genuinely caring not only towards our child, but to our entire family. That level of support has made a meaningful difference in our experience. We are incredibly grateful to be part of the Primrose community and can't thank the administrative staff, wonderful teachers, and support team members enough for making our family feel so welcome!

From September 2025 through June 2026, we repeatedly raised serious concerns about our child's…read moresafety and well-being. These included issues around bathroom privacy supervision, a classmate's aggressive and inappropriate language, and physical incidents that ultimately led us to withdraw both of our children. We escalated these concerns multiple times through emails, in-person conversations, and meetings with both teachers and leadership over many months. During this period, the classroom had a constant rotation of staff, with many different teachers covering the class. The lack of consistency was noticeable and directly impacted supervision and overall care. What ultimately drove our decision was not just the incidents themselves, but the pattern in how they were handled by leadership. Despite repeated escalation, we did not see meaningful follow-through. Issues we raised continued to arise, and we did not observe clear, lasting changes being put in place. Some of the responses we received minimized the seriousness of the concerns rather than addressing them head-on. When you are trusting a center with your children, that kind of response is deeply concerning and, in our view, unacceptable. Our experience started off positively, with several caring and dedicated teachers. However, over time we saw a clear decline in consistency, communication, and how more serious concerns were managed. By the end, we no longer felt comfortable keeping our children enrolled. Based on our experience, we would not recommend this center and would encourage families to look closely at other options.

My son and daughter both attended Little Sprout Academy in Sharon, one for 3 years and the other…read morefor 4 years. I highly recommend Little Sprout (LSA) for anyone looking for a daycare or preschool for your child. This is a wonderful school with loving and caring adults. From early on my children were getting hugs and affection from the teachers which made me feel great every time I dropped off. They were always genuinely happy to greet me and my children every morning and afternoon. My children received an excellent preschool education there - and grew tremendously both socially and academically. Both of them have made amazing friendships with students and connections with teachers. Highlights for my children have been the home cooked lunches and healthy snacks, outdoor play time, thematic play based units, exposure to different languages and cultures, tinkering table, plays and performances, and classroom jobs. Ina and Mark, the directors, know each child and family personally and create a wonderful space for children to learn and play. I am an educator myself and I can't say enough good things about the teachers and staff. Please go and take a tour and see for yourself what a special place it is.

I can't say enough good words about this day care . My son started there at 1 year old and now he…read moreis 4. This place made an amazing impact on his development and growth. The teachers and the owners really love each child and treat them with so much care and love. To be able to trust someone to take care of your child is really hard and I can say with my eyes closed that I can leave to work in the morning knowing my child in the best hands possible and well taken care of . There is not many places like that and if you are looking for loving environment for your child this is the place HANDS DOWN!!!!

I currently have two boys attending Blue Hill Montessori School, and I am thrilled with our…read moreexperiences there from start to finish! Our older son is in their Kindergarten program now in one classroom, and our younger son is in preschool in the other. My kids are not easy - they are loud and active, and the older has been diagnosed with Aspergers - but the teaching staff has been nothing but supportive, loving, and nurturing with them both, while instilling respect for the school rules and the peaceful classroom environment that they maintain. They have both grown and matured so much through their time here. There is a wealth of experience in the teachers (some have been at the school for 30 years!) which speaks to how invested they are in the school and its mission. As a bonus, I love some of the "extras" they teach to the traditional Montessori curriculum - Spanish, music, art and yoga have all been big hits with my kids. I'm glad that whatever awaits them in their future academic life, their first experience with it is one that they love and that has been so friendly and welcoming.

BHMS is really a special place. My oldest son was in Senora Estevez's class for two years…read more(including Kindergarten) and my younger son is in his first year in the same class. They have both thrived in the Montessori environment ... and have learned so much in such a short time. It is amazing to see such young kids making maps of the continents, Europe, the US and being able to identify small countries/states on a map (I think most kids are not exposed to a map of Europe until middle school!). The children have a weekly Spanish lesson, as well as music and yoga. I love the emphasis on a peaceful classroom, helping each other and showing respect to each other and the environment. In the afternoon Enrichment Program the younger children do amazing craft projects that they are always so proud of and the Friday afternoon baking projects are also a lot of fun. We have developed some wonderful friendships with the parents of our kids' classmates. It is great to meet parents that place the same emphasis on early childhood learning and the Montessori principles of independence, self- direction and respect for each other and the environment. The children also become very good friends and we continue to have regular "Kindergarten" reunions with my older son's classmates. I cannot recommend the school enough.

We spent over $500 per month for nothing. This program is a joke. My kid says there is not learning…read moreand they just play with the classroom toys. Teachers dont even know how to politely respond to a simply hello how are you - they just dont respond and they are setting the standard for my son's education and others...plenty of times i say have a good evening and no response - this program gets state funding too and parents pay a lot -why do they have low grade teachers that dont even know how to smile? They are suppose to be learning history, computer, yoga classes etc- there is zero learning in those classes - those classes are really a joke. i wouldnt recommend this program to anyone.

We create a smooth learning track for the children thereby bringing out the POTENTIAL in each child. I am always happy to be part of SUCH A creative team. Parents are ALWAYS happy to trust their kids with us as they have experienced positive child development in their child since they started attending the school. I HIGHLY recommend Cadence Academy Preschool to you in case you want a SUCCESSFUL career.

Syncere is still very new to Cadence Academy, and has a bit of a tough time at drop off but the staff are soo amazing. They are patient, understanding, and they take pride in caring for our children. I couldn't be happier being apart of this team.

We've sent two boys through Mrs. Perry's Preschool in the last 3 years (one of them is still…read moreattending and will be there again next year). It's been a wonderful experience both for the boys and for us. Mrs. Perry taught in the Norwood school system for decades and her experience definitely shows. From the physical layout of the school to the curriculum, everything is very organized. The entire staff of teachers are amazing. They are able to perfectly blend learning with the social aspects of preschool. Mrs. Casey, Mrs O'Keefe and Mrs Shaw are all great at handling the day to day challenges that can arise with kids this age and we trust them completely. I can't overstate that - we have complete trust in all the teachers. Pick up and drop off are done by lining up the cars in the driveway and waiting until the staff come to the gate before you take your kids out of the car. This way there are never vehicles moving at the same time as the children. In the morning, parents walk the children up to the gate where the staff take them inside and in the afternoon, the staff keep the children inside the gate until the parents walk up to get them. When the first group of parents leave, the second group of cars can pull up to drop off or pick up. Very safe, very efficient. The 3 year old classes are Tuesday and Thursday, 4 year old classes are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 9am to 1pm. The kids have a snack in the morning and eat lunch at school. During the school year they will do arts and crafts projects that will help them learn every letter and number. They read stories and sing songs, and generally learn to socialize with classmates and follow directions from their teachers. There is usually at least one​ field trip a year, which is great for the parents and the kids. There are plenty of activities for indoor play including a train table, a play kitchen, dolls, a lego activity table and more. When the weather is nice enough to play outside, there is a playground and a grassy/astroturf area surrounded by a concrete track for the kids to ride bigwgeels around. I just can't say enough good things about Mrs Perry's Preschool and highly recommend checking it out.

My children attended the bilingual Montessori School of Sharon and it is truly the best decision we…read morehave ever made. The head of school works tirelessly to provide a safe and loving environment for our children. In addition to the beautiful environment and dedicated staff, the school offers a curriculum like no other schools that we visited. My oldest started reading at 3.5 years and read at 2nd grade level prior to transitioning to private school. We are amazed with our daughter's math skills and how meticulous and kind she became. If you want to invest in a school that will support your child's development, visit the Bilingual Montessori School of Sharon. I highly recommend BMSS to every parent seeking school. Best investment ever for our children!

I relocated to another state and left the school with teary eyes-…read moreFrom the moment I entered BMSS, I knew it was the right school for my children. The warm and welcoming attitude of the administration and staff made us feel right at home. I was astonished by the progress that my children made during their first few months attending the school and onwards. BMSS offers a unique and enriched curriculum that not only aligned with my expectations but also suited the growth and development of my children. During their 4 years at BMSS, they achieved success academically, socially and emotionally. I can still see today the lasting impact that this environment made on them. Even more satisfactory was the progress of my autistic child. My husband and I were unaware of his condition until the Head of school kindly shared her observations with us. They literally changed the trajectory of his life. The Montessori education coupled with the school's tireless efforts towards my children's education was second to none. I would recommend the Bilingual Montessori School of Sharon to any parent seeking a remarkable environment for their children where they can acquire lifelong skills.
