This is a review for the large playground across the school driveway, near the baseball and soccer…read morefields. The playground includes two sets of swings, three slides, a dome shaped jungle gym, plus other structures for bigger kids and young ones too. It's a large playground and worth our short drive from Hudson. The ground is covered in wood chips which seems to be the popular ground cover. People have been generally friendly, so I'd recommend that you check it out if you want a new place for your young ones to play.

Town is getting better. I think the town government has their own self interests. The school…read moresystem is too politically correct and teaches to the state tests not reality. Hudson did have an excellent school system in the 1990's but had gone down hill steadily since. Teachers teach their political views to children. Police force is large but some reason are busy with traffic offenses. Fire dept too small and can't even operate all of their own equipment because they are understaffed and town will not let them hire more firefighters to correct the issues. Eversource is really in control of the town government.

The care he has received in the infant, toddler and now preschool classroom has been exceptional. He has grown so much due to the talented teachers, the hardworking administrators, the wonderful physical space and the creative approach to a child's first school experience. I highly recommend WoodsEdge to any family who seeks a family atmosphere in a bucolic setting with truly outstanding caregivers.

Woodsedge has been absolutely wonderful. Our daughter just transitioned into the toddler room, and…read morehad such a positive experience while in the infants. Her teachers always provide us with great communication. We love getting the daily reports through the Tadpoles app, and the pictures they send make our day! They always make a point to tell us about her day at pick up, and do a great job letting us know what she needs for school. Most importantly, Our daughter is happy to be at Woodesdge. She walks herself up the stairs every morning, and always has a smile for her teachers. She's made friends in class, and says their names all the time at home! Woodsedge has gone through a lot of transitions recently, but we are happier than ever. We highly recommend it to any parents in search of care for their little one.

They have a great curriculum, amazing caring teachers, friendly and helpful directors, a clean and safe building... everything you could ask for! We are sent emails each week with the curriculum and activities that the children will be working on throughout the week. Even in the infant classroom, they're working on specific activities that address motor skills, language (including learning sign language), literacy, math, STEM, art, and social skills. We get alerts through the app whenever she has a meal, a nap, or a diaper change and pictures throughout the day showing us know what is happening in the classroom. She lights up when she sees her teacher in the morning which makes leaving her for the day so much easier. I really couldn't ask for a better place and group of people to help take care of my little girl!

I have a lot of experience with Hudson Children's Center, as my 3 year old has been attending for…read morealmost a year, and my 13 year old attended when he was in daycare and pre-school. There are some key points that set Hudson Children's Center apart from other daycare centers and pre-schools: 1. A good portion of the day is spent outdoors, in their large backyard filled with picnic tables, swing sets, and climbing structures. 2. The staff are caring and engaged, meaning you won't find them preoccupied with their phones. 3. There is a major focus on daily art projects and creativity. 4. There is a beautiful inground pool in the backyard. During summer, any potty-trained child is able to participate in daily free-swim in their floaties with staff in and around the pool, keeping good care of safety. 5. Also in summer, a dedicated swimming instructor provides private swimming lessons for every child whose parents opt to sign them up for lessons. The extra charge for private lessons is a major bargain. The core staff are Robin and June who have worked at the center for many years. They set the tone for peace, calm, care, and creativity. Every weekday morning, I bring my daughter to pre-school. I interact with the staff and the children. I feel welcome and comfortable. I know my daughter is well-liked and well-cared for. I know that every day, she is being enriched with creative projects and fun learning by her teacher, Wendy, and a great team. Every afternoon, when my wife comes home with our daughter, I see that our daughter is happy. She's had a great day at Hudson Children's Center. My daughter's pre-school class is diverse, which is important to my family. The center has a private, online group for parents. Almost daily, teachers share with us photos of our children participating in enriching activities, including gym time, programs with their dedicated music teacher, field trips, and general play/silly time. I feel like the team encourages my daughter's creativity and individualism. Even at 3, she likes to choose her clothes. Sometimes she'll opt to wear a costume. When she arrives at the center with me during the morning, she is met with enthusiastic and supportive staff members who notice her, notice what she's wearing, and compliment her. Depending on your work schedule, one negative might be that the center is only open until 5 pm, so you must arrive before then to pick up your child. Honestly, children are at daycare for so many hours during the day... They may arrive as early as 7:30 am... The 5 pm pickup time makes some sense. In my experience, after 5 pm, children are longing for their parent pickup and hoping the next person that arrives is their parent to pick them up. Of course, the "early" pickup time won't work for everyone's work and personal situation. I recommended Hudson Children's Center without reservation. To summarize, my daughter is well-cared for. Her creativity is fostered. The education is enriching. The swimming pool and swimming lessons are a huge bonus and value. The staff are engaged, creative, and caring.
