The assistant director and director are the absolute best, beyond caring and understanding and I am so relieved to know that my child's utmost needs are being met at that facility. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable learning for their child. The curriculum is amazing for all ages and I have noticed my child's educational progression soar since he has been attending.

Mr. Jeff and Ms. Dacey were also wonderful providers. I would recommend this center without hesitation to anyone looking for a home away from home for their little one.

A special shoutout to Becky, the Executive Director, whose passion for early childhood education is palpable. Her leadership sets the tone for a positive atmosphere that truly stands out.

We highly recommend KinderCare at Riv to parents seeking quality childcare for their little ones.

My son has gone here for several years, and i was shocked to read the other review- but honestly…read moretypically people only review when angry. My son started this daycare as a painfully shy young kid, and he has grown so much. He loves the teachers and the kids there so much, they are super responsive with us; and I love him going there as well. We also had him picked up there for his preschool regularly and was great we were able to do that. Before sending my son here we had him going in Tyngsboro, MA (which was obviously a long drive there and back) because of how picky i was with daycares- but have nothing bad to say and honestly only praise with this one. Both myself, my son and my husband will be very sad when he will be full time in school and unable to come here regularly and hope my infant will be able to come here as well.

This is not a rant, this is a lengthy letter describing a factual recent event and should be read…read morethoroughly by parents who are contemplating this school as an option. To each their own, but here is my experience: The school is ran by teachers you'll never meet, and most if not all, seem to not be actual teachers with degrees but parents filling in to help, operated by a woman who will insult your child to your face while on the front steps of the school. They will give up on your child because of their inability to discipline or educate, that was made clear right away, when I was told they don't discipline. I was concerNed to hear this when the words came out of the woman's mouth (a few months back) but since meetings or proper discussions aren't a practice of theirs (always rushed with the door barely opened) I thought, this is a temporary babysitting space my daughter seems 2 enjoy, while we wait for our school of choice to have openings. Apparently my 4 year old took out her lunch instead of her snack so this means she has cognitive issues. Careful this place is dangerous, anyone who is NOT medically trained, who does not hold a degree in psychology or a phd, has NO RIGHT TO THROW MEDICAL LABLES ON YOUR CHILD because they simply claim to speak from experience. I have been a mother for 18 years, I am however not a trained professional in psychiatry, psychology, you won't see me labeling your child's physical or mental condition... Three kids, ranging from ages 18 to 4 and I have NEVER had a "teacher, school director" handle herself the way she did yesterday; this woman was seething with rage, like an old poodle! Throwing out a diagnosis of my child, while on the front steps of the school, a rushed conversation at pick up/drop off, while other parents are dropping off their kids... (Meeting like these are handled in a professional setting/manner in private, with supporting documents/notes to go over) & If you dare challenge the woman's un-educated diagnosis be prepared to get kicked off the property with the door slammed to your face while your child is still in the school! (don't worry I immediately removed my child from the erratic woman's grip, forcing myself back into the school, while this woman is screaming for the cops to be called, scaring the children, my child and Honestly everyone else)... As an expert parent however, having sent my three kids to several different schools over the years, what I can tell you with certainty is they have no idea how to educate children and clearly the tired director with twenty years experience should go on a leave of absence, she has no business being with small children. As for curriculum, the kids' daily activities are done on scrap paper, with writings on the back, looks like they tear paper out of old books or folders (not school related) and give to the kids to scribble On. Mind you it costs $255 a week. Your kids clothes and personal belongings will always be lost, misplaced or given to another child; we are out a sleeping bag, two pairs of shoes and at least 10 sweaters, I don't have the money to replace these items. When you ask for these items you will be told to wait phtisies, as you are never allowed in the school, for them to hand you over a bunch of items not one being your childs. Super shady. Back to my main point, they don't know how to discipline or teach toddlers, they will just tell you your child is the issue if your child is rambunctious, a toddler. Your 3 1/2, 4 year old child is the issue. Here's the kicker, they will not tell you anything to lead up to these claims or diagnosis. Over the last 8 months I was told twice (at pick up on these lovely front steps, with the door half open, her wretched head sticking out) that my child was a bit "tough" today... but that's it. So Let this sink in, you could be told your child has abnormal behaviors and these should be assessed, out of the blue, while standing on the front steps of this dump whole, with other parents around, and if you dare ask questions or offer tips or challenge the behavioral diagnosis, you will be kicked off the property, door slammed in your face... My daughter is now 4, she attends two other programs (gym and play group) and these two other businesses could not believe what was said by this woman about my typical 4 year old, shocked but mostly astonished as to how this was brought up to me. This school is a dump whole, and I am riddled with guilt for leaving my baby in their care over the last 8 months! I can't stress this enough, if it doesn't feel right, even though "it must be" and your child seems happy, pull your kid out or investigate.. do your due diligence. Because she's my third, I assumed she was ok even though the school didn't seem amazing or ideal, I ignored the little red flags. Shame on me. Shame on this school for being opened

When I heard from a few that the director had been there for decades and that not only their grown children went to this school but now also their grandchildren, I had to see for myself. The great reviews are completely justified. The teachers and staff are professional educators that care and love these 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old children. They teach them so much, but never in a institutional way. The teachers are creative, they make learning fun and engaging. The kids learn through exploration and participation. Really, I can't say enough great things about the school. Now, our 2nd child is there and we all love it.

They go all the way up to kindergarten, and while touring, I could tell all the staff and kids were happy. This is important to me, as I want the best for my child. They have a chef! They introduce nutritional meals and plant a seed of understanding food groups at a young age, to instill healthy food choices as they grow. I LOVE THIS! I was talking to a neighbor mom who couldn't understand why they would have a chef, and to ME, it's important. Because cooking, prepping, rationing out snacks and meals, is tough sometimes. I run a business and manage an office, and my husband works starting his days at 630 at a glass contracting facility, so we are BUSY! Knowing my daughter can get the proper attention and great food, makes me feel VERY confident that I'm providing her with the best school. They have monitors and video cameras, which helps me feel the kids are safe. There's monitors in the front lobby. Everything was clean, everything was labeled, and it felt like they're managed very well. From sign language, to educational groups, to the hands on staff- I just feel this is the best center in town. I literally cried in the parking lot! My only complaint is the price. It's nearly double what other daycares nearby offer! Their full-time rate is 500$. I understand they offer a LOT and it's the best of the best, but 3-400 range would be more appropriate in my opinion. Worth the tour! the kids will thrive! This is our dream daycare!

I certainly was extra stressed with the process of getting twins acclimated to the daycare environment at 15 months (they were at home with a nanny before this), but everyone from the the teachers and staff and director helped make the process work. They girls have their primary teacher, but are constantly interacting with different groups of kids and teachers and staff. This has been wonderful in getting them accustomed to new people outside of the school environment. They used to be very shy about meeting new people but its a comfortable process being in new places now. The school also helps me as a first time mom with many questions I'll have about different things the kids experience. An added bonus that extends beyond the school environemnt!

Even…read morenow, two years later, they still ask to go back and visit in the summers--that's how much this place meant to them (and to us). The owners and staff are truly exceptional--warm, nurturing, and genuinely invested in every child. There's a genuine family feel at Family Tree, and we've formed lasting connections. As a school psychologist, I've been consistently impressed by the center's thoughtful curriculum and the way social-emotional learning is seamlessly woven into the day. The focus on school readiness--academically, socially, and emotionally--gave our kids such a strong foundation. They also loved the amazing crafts, engaging science projects, and hands-on learning experiences that sparked their curiosity and creativity. We're so grateful for the years we spent at Family Tree--they gave our children such a loving, enriching start. And we're not alone--every Family Tree family we've met has felt the same deep appreciation. If you're looking for a place to truly entrust with your child's care and early learning, I couldn't recommend Family Tree more highly.

Completely opposite experience with my son. Due to high staff turnover, my son was not able to receive the care and support that my daughter did. After a dozen evaluations recommended by leadership, my son was not diagnosed with any developmental deficiencies or behavioral problems and did not qualify for special needs or IEP programs. The frequency that I was contacted to complain about my son doing things that are age appropriate (bathroom accidents, sensory processing, not sitting still during circle time, etc) was astoundingly unnecessary, we chose to place him in a different childcare center as there is a pattern of toddler boys being terminated for similar and worse reasons.
