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.

MJ (PreK-K teacher) has a way with children and can control a room with empathy and kindness. To walk in on a dozen 3-5 year olds all happily and calmly reading books is an amazing site. Also, Director Lynn is a gem! Leaving your Little is difficult already, Lynn provides comfort and professionalism that make the situation easier. We immediately felt part of the family. Will forever be grateful for our time there. Thank you MJ & Lynn!!! Sending all our love and thanks.

Management isn't so great with giving you a day off or even a sick day, you never really work 40 hours a week and get sent home once the children drop as well as always being watched and told what to do. Once state pulls in the upper staff members start running since they have staff that shouldn't be left alone with children. I don't really have nothing nice to say except ms.Darlene

Well Let's do it like this shall we?…read more If you are looking for a place to just dump your kid and have no interaction with the staff and then just show up and pick up your kid without giving a crap about what your kid did all day? Kids Inn just aint the place for you. If you are looking for a place to drop off your children; secure in the knowledge that not just the one "Care-Giver" but the "Entire Staff" will love your child, and you will look forward to seeing them all and more importantly, your children look forward to seeing them and their friends - Then Kids in IS for you... Let's face it... Nobody Likes the fact that Daycare is a necessity. And since it is so: it is nice that a huge burden is lifted from your life when You hear your Sons and Daughters talking about their day with joy... Knowing that at Kids Inn your Kids are learning while being loved... Knowing you pretty much see the same faces every day taking care of your kids... Kids Inn is not just a Day-Care for us.. They are our extended Family that Our children Love. CJ and Miranda our 2 oldest children started with Kids Inn In 2006/2007 and have since moved on now in 6th and 3rd grade. In 2010 Our middle daughter was attending her last year we welcomed our Youngest to the world. It was at this time that Kids Inn began taking Newborns and Infants. Thus - It is hope that we proudly proclaimed her to be the first to go from Newborn and finally attend Ms. Donna's Kindergarten class.. Be Prepared for Kids Inn and it's staff to become a positive influence on not only your children's lives - but through them - a positive influence on your's as well... Ok - So - Now that Ms. Darlene is probably reduced to tears I'll end this review by just saying Kids Inn is the best Daycare in the area.

She was recently…read moreout for the month of April because of Covid and just went back, and she is honestly thriving there. The school goes to great lengths to keep everyone safe, and they are doing a great job. I think possibly because of the reduced class sizes, or new lesson structures, our daughter is doing better than ever. She is coming home telling us all kinds of stories and making lots of connections to what she learned that day. She loves going to school everyday and usually cries when we pick her up, because she doesn't want to leave. The staff are friendly and good at their jobs, from the directors to teachers. I love getting pictures and updates throughout the day through the tadpole app. I don't know what we'd do if she couldn't go back to daycare, we are very grateful that Goddard is open and working as hard as they can to keep everyone healthy and safe in these crazy times.

As a new mom, I greatly appreciate the human connection that all of the caregivers provide. Every day I am greeted with a smile and asked about how my daughter's night was. Beyond that, the caregivers are always happy to give me advice and support after a long night or fussy morning. I am thoroughly satisfied with her infant care, and am even more excited for her to progress through the childcare program. The layout of the building allows me a glimpse into the other early childhood classrooms, and I am constantly amazed by the variety of activities and teaching methods that I see on a daily basis. I also love that the program is part of 2nd Nature Academy. While we certainly don't want to rush our daughter's early childhood experience, we look forward to her continued education for many years to come.

After hearing such wonderful things about TNOTs I was excited to enroll my child. On day one, I was…read moreable To observe my child for a few hours. I was a nervous new mother so I thought I was being critical of the lack of warmth from caregivers and staff. Aside from Carol who greets you upon entry there was no comfort in leaving your child there. I questioned myself thinking I was protective and went along with it. Over time it didn't change. I came one day to pick my child up early to find a substitute teaching acting extremely inappropriate with the children scolding them In a way that felt like she was losing control. Other staff members appeared embarrassed when I witnessed it. When speaking with the director I was reassured she wouldn't work with the younger kids anymore because " it overwhelmed her " I quickly learn from that point on it wasn't the right place for my child. I think they paint a pretty picture of what they offer but within the walls of the preschool is quite different. Their expectations are extremely high for toddlers and pre k and sadly lack the nurturing piece. I found the staff to be young with a lot of turnover. I found the director Jillian to be young, naive and lacking real life experience to be in her role. Be careful of the pretty picture it presents. I am so sad that I didn't go with my gut on day one... a new mother novice decision. Luckily my child has no memory and I have found a place that is nurturing with experienced staff.

The guys were prompt and efficient in diagnosing my issues with my well. Thank you, Kyle and Caleb, for doing so. My issues turns out that I wasn't getting the proper voltage from my house to the pump. Kyle and Caleb suggestion was to have the well pump rewired from the house to the pump. It was completely needed. Day 2: I had the electrician out and did an outstanding job getting this completed in a timely fashion however, it turns out that with the proper voltage supplied to the pump the pump was old and fried out. Day 3: Called Skillings & Sons again to come out and replace the pump. I had scheduled a 2:00 PM appointment as it was the soonest available. Great to find out the morning of Skillings & Sons Technician's finished a job earlier than expected so I got a call that they can arrive earlier to replace my pump. Technician's Kyle and Jason came in to replace the pump. Extremely professional kind and courteous were the technicians on both trips to my house. They completed the job in 3.5 to 4 hours and i was given specific instructions on how to get my water back to normal. All I can say is that I would Highly recommend Skillings & Sons. Honest, Professional, Efficient quality company. Thank You again Kyle, Jason, and Caleb.
