My son did not go to preschool in the village. He did get an excellent education before there was…read moreeven kindergarten in Amherst public schools.. But when he attended first grade through sixth grade, he had the same education as private school kids. The Amherst schools are excellent. I can only attest to grades one through six but my son is a radiologist and an assistant professor at Stanford. In addition, he has earned a PhD from Oxford, England in bio medical engineering. He is a Fullbright scholar. And I would say that the Angerst school system compares to any other schools in New Hampshire probably New England, public or private.

First thing I will say about this daycare is that the teachers are wonderful. I always felt like…read morethey were giving my son the love and attention he needed and deserved. The Director on the other hand is an awful human. My son had been at this daycare since June 2022 and in January 2023 we were told that his spot was only 'temporary" and would end Feb 8, 2023. The Director swears that we had the conversation and that she told me this was happening and that the witness to our conversation was her daughter slash Co- Director. Not a very credible third party. She also told me jokingly that she should really start putting this in writing because parents always seem to be surprised when she tells them their child's spot is temporary. My son had a very difficult transition into daycare and my argument was why would I have put him through such a difficult transition knowing it would only be temporary?! Clearly we did not know. During our final conversation, after her telling me I needed to be "respectful to the staff" until his last day which blew me away since I was nothing but respectful to her staff, she told me over and over again how much they did for my son and how accommodating they were to him when he started. Now being an Elementary School Guidance Counselor myself, I said to her "if you are working with children, you SHOULD be doing everything that you can to accommodate any child's needs?" If that is not your. mindset then you have no business working with children. In conclusion, if you do choose this child care for your child, make sure you have it in writing that his or her spot is permanent.

The mom and daughter team have provided one of their rooms to allow the play date kiddos to explore and play for a 1.5-2 he allotment. I love the cleanliness and layout of the classrooms. The bathrooms are perfect, especially my BBB potty training; toilets are scaled down to their size. We have a few daycare learning center places we hold play dates in the local area and this location definitely scales up there! Clean, spacious, friendly staff. Looks like a great option for daycare/preschool; they accommodate 6weeks to 5years. Love how the center is sectioned away from the busy street being on the backside of the shared business building. Parking has never been an inside too. Thanks for sharing you space with the local moms and tots!

We loved TLT! Unfortunately, we had to pull our kids out at the beginning of the pandemic because I…read moream high risk but our two kids (2yo & 3yo at the time) LOVED it here! They do great activities with the kids and all of their employees are wonderful. It's unfortunate that someone gave a 1 star review just because of the fact that TLT charged a fee during Covid. They send out a very honest explanation and at the time were not being offered any special help /programs from the government as other businesses were. They were faced with a very difficult decision and instead of shutting down their doors and leaving tons of parents scrambling, they stayed opened and very transparent of their decision to charge. I was not thrilled about paying either but to me it was worth it and they really didn't have any other options. As far as the other woman that posted a bad review. It sounds like you're not going to be a "good fit" anywhere. If your child requires alone time, that's going to involve another staff member to supervise this child so that he/she can be alone. Not to mention a free space to do this in. Sounds like you should consider an at home nanny service instead of expecting a daycare to conform to your very specific, high level needs. I looked at her profile and she's given 1-2 stars to 4 other area day cares. At some point, you've got stop and think, "maybe it's not them....maybe it's me" I find the need to point this out because I don't think it's fair to TLT or inquiring parents looking at the ratings to base your decisions off two reviews that really aren't relavent to how wonderful this place truly is. Bottom line, our kids loved it here. The staff is incredibly generous and truly cared for our children. I've never felt more comfortable leaving my kids with anyone else than I have here so THANK YOU ALL!!

This is the one place which offers a huge amount and variety of field trips from taking the kids to Boston Commons to the Musical theaters in Beverly and farms for petting.

Make sure you get it in writing first. They told us Drop off time we had in mind would not matter at all! Now they are kicking my child out due to drop off time that they set and we followed along with not taking a nap (WHICH IS NOT REQUIRED BY THE WAY) There was a time my daughter was not fed anything inside of her lunch box and I Contacted useless Kaitlynn and she never responded. So I decided to contact the owners and they respond 4 days later stating that they didn't think it was important enough to respond because it wasn't that serious! I guess feeding my daughter in their supervision was not that important to them! New Director (Kaitlynn Strand) is as useless as they come. Owner and her husband are just as useless and arrogant/ ignorant. These clowns sent me an email 9/10/25 after I sign my daughter out and leave the parking lot that after 9/12/25, Mia is no longer allowed in the facility because she does not take naps. No other child was targeted but mine! My daughters last day there I was told by the arrogant husband that I do not know how to run a business. Clearly not knowing that I run 2 businesses. He must think he is the only businessman in Windham, NH I will reporting this to every department possible because what they are doing are so wrong in so many levels! Side note: Would love to give huge thanks to Miss Leah, Miss Danielle and the other 2 staff for giving unconditional love to Mia! I noticed it from a mile away and I thank you for that! I hope you reach your furthest point in your careers and not with this joke of a facility. As for Miss Mia, it is a shame you share the same name as my daughter. You are a complete joke along with your director and bosses. Thank you (sarcastically) for being 2 faced. When Mia's mom asked you how are things with new time drop off etc you said everything is perfect. Then go to your director and bosses complaining. Thank you for setting this all up! I Hope karma hits you in the worst way possible! Your bosses you cry to about my daughter told me everything! You would complain Mia wouldn't nap because you didn't get time to be on your phone!

Our family has had nothing but the best experience at Apple Blossoms since our twin started…read moreattending at just four months old. Choosing childcare is such an important decision, and while every family's experience is different, we are fortunate that ours has been nothing short of outstanding. Apple Blossoms has been an incredible partner in our children's growth. Over the years, we have watched our daughters thrive in ways that amaze us--growing in manners, responsibility, independence, vocabulary, communication, and overall positive behavior both at school and at home. Each teacher we've had the pleasure of working with has treated our girls with warmth, respect, and the kind of care you would hope for in a childcare setting. As twins, they've also been celebrated as individuals with their own cubbies, folders, and needs. They have never been treated as a "unit," but as two unique children whose differences are embraced and nurtured. The discipline and structure at Apple Blossoms have been exceptional. Our girls are great listeners, follow directions well, and when told "no," they don't tantrum but instead move on respectfully. These are skills that will serve them for life. They are also excellent eaters, make smart food choices, and benefit from the movement and outdoor play that is prioritized whenever the weather is safe. I especially appreciate the emphasis on fresh air, something I hope will mean even more snow play opportunities now that they are more independent. Academically, they have exceeded our expectations. After their very first month of Pre-K, they are already on the fast track to word identification and reading. Educators outside of Apple Blossoms have commented on how advanced their writing, spatial awareness, color use, and artwork are compared to typical kindergarten and even first-grade levels. Potty training was also a very positive experience for our family. After a short three-day introduction method at home, the classroom team was more than willing to adopt our practices. Both of our girls were completely potty trained in their early twos, and the school respected our choice to use pull-ups only at nap time, which made the transition between home and school seamless. Communication has been a strong point since the very beginning. When it comes to matters specifically related to our children, teachers have always been proactive and thoughtful in keeping us informed. Those one-on-one updates at drop-off and pick-up have given us confidence and peace of mind from the infant room through Pre-K. We personally value the face-to-face interactions we receive most of all. While the app is useful for quick notes, we don't expect teachers to be tied to their phones during the day while they are educating our children and we truly appreciate the personal updates we receive in conversation. We also encourage our daughters to share the "peaks and valleys" of their day, which helps us follow up thoughtfully if needed-- though, more often than not, they only report happy experiences aside from the occasional playground dispute. What has improved over time is the broader communication around classroom or school-wide changes and updates, which feels clearer and more consistent now than in earlier years. The program also recognizes holidays, cultural observances, and disability awareness days, making learning both educational and fun while fostering inclusion. Activities have been age-appropriate yet enriching, from classroom lessons to nature walks and field trips. Finally, the convenience of Apple Blossoms cannot be overstated. Their extended hours (6:30 AM-5:30 PM) are a lifeline for public service families like ours, and their commitment to staying open during inclement weather whenever safely possible shows their dedication to supporting essential workers. We are truly grateful for the foundation Apple Blossoms has built for our daughters. From academics to social development, independence, and beyond, they are thriving. We recommend Apple Blossoms without reservation.
