My COVID-era kiddos were a bit behind in their language when they started but have come along SO well in this short time. They are genuinely so excited on school days and I love knowing they are getting to socialize with other kids, get messy, and play outside in the well-stocked playground -- all of which they don't get to do much at home with their nanny. My husband and I can't wait to move them to full-time students as room opens up, even though we have a 30 minute drive to Concord each way. The commute is worth it when you know your kids are in good hands.

After a bad experience at another Montessori school in the Hollis area that failed to recognize our…read moredaughter's potential or provide the foundational skills she needed, we are so grateful to have found Country Village Montessori. The teachers at Country Village immediately recognized our daughter's potential, helped her catch up academically, and rebuilt the confidence that had been damaged at her previous school. We were thrilled to discover that art and creativity are a part of the inspiring schoolwork at Country Village Montessori so our daughter could come home every day proud of something that she created! 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.

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!

Worst experience! It started out as a good experience when my son started going there at 4 Mos old…read morebut when he got older we started to realize the lack of care they really provided. My son started being bullied by the upper classroom kids and it was my son that was being blamed at 3 years old. We were being threatened by the director of the school that if we didnt test our son for autism or language issues then he'd be kicked out. So he was tested and passed with flying colors. Then we werent told by his classroom teachers that anything wrong was happening until the director basically told us he isn't allowed to come back because hes disruptive (at 3 years old!). We had witnessed the kids bullying our son on the playground and our son being blamed for it when we didnt make it known to the teacher we were there to see it. Come to find out later there was favoritism happening- the kids who were bullying my son was a teachers nephew so he gets to stay and my son was told to leave. The director was threatening and rude everytime we interacted with her. She doesnt care about the students one bit. The original director was kind when we first started there but once Bree stepped in, everything went downhill. No daycare should ever be run that way. You should feel comforted that you child is loved and cared for, not bullied out. I heard from a few other parents that they witness the same treatment. How sad. Very much do not recommend this place if you care for your child at all.

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..
