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.

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.

Basically everything that the other reviewer posted is true. We had a similar experience. Some…read moreteachers are great. Ms. Lorraine on the other hand, not so much. She physically restrained my daughter and would not let her come to me, until she talked with me. My daughter was screaming, crying and begging to get to me. I had to yell at Ms. Lorraine to release her. Ever since that incident my daughter was abused. We pulled her from the facility. Mind you this facility touts itself as a place that helps kids with IEPs and behavioral issues. They are not. They are abusive to those children that fall into that category. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!

I never actually used their services. If I could give no stars I would. I've been on waiting lists…read morefor day care for a while now. After some of the things I've read recently, I'm glad I didn't use their services. The only way this business allows you to be on the waiting list is if you pay them a registration fee and first week tuition. I finally heard from another childcare institution that was able to take my child, and when I reached out and let the director know, after multiple emails they stated that they will not return almost $400 that I sent to them just to be on a waiting list. I could understand the registration fee, but the week of tuition should have been returned. I will never recommend a place that won't return someone's hard earned money, especially during a time like this.

The teachers at Country Village immediately recognized our daughter's strengths, helped her catch up academically, and rebuilt the confidence that had been damaged at her previous school. Since transferring, our daughter has developed a genuine love of learning, proudly shares her accomplishments, and has made remarkable progress in her handwriting, math skills, and self-confidence. Every child deserves a teacher who truly sees and believes in them. Claire and her team have made an incredible difference in our daughter's life, and we couldn't recommend Country Village Montessori more highly.

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.
