As a single…read moremom, she needed her daughter to have structure and a warm environment where she could interact with other kids her age. She chose the academy and is thrilled.

Our child has been attending Greenwood for the past two years, and we absolutely love this school…read more The teachers are warm, nurturing and passionately dedicated to their work and the children. The school is run according to authentic Montessori principles, and takes its pedagogy very seriously. There is a wonderful sense of peace and tranquility, as the children are lovingly encouraged to become independent learners. The school grounds are beautiful, including a real wildlife pond with a swan family (and from which the occasional frog will visit). Pure magic! What a wonderful place for a child to start to experience the world and acquire the foundations for a lifetime of learning. This is an outstanding school.

At Greenwood Montessori School, all children are viewed as individuals and are exposed to meaningful learning experiences where they are allowed, with guidance from the teacher, to educate themselves at their own developmental level. Children in control of their own learning build confidence in themselves and are then willing and able to embrace life's opportunities and challenges and become successful in future endeavors.

Our daughter loved this place, as did we.

The teachers here are wonderful. Admin was always very responsive. If we didn't move away, we would have absolutely stayed here. The tuition price is pretty decent too compared to others in the area. Please check this place out if you're in need of a daycare - it did not disappoint! PS. My daughter would have probably still been struggling with her potty training if it wasn't for this place haha

With both of our little ones having experienced multiple classrooms--from Infants and Crawlers to Younger and Older Toddlers--we've had the pleasure of seeing firsthand the consistency and dedication of the entire staff. Every teacher we've encountered has been warm, nurturing, and genuinely invested in making each day fun, safe, and enriching for the kids. One of our favorite features is the splash pad during the summer, which is such a thoughtful and fun way to help the children beat the heat. The new, clean building is another standout--each classroom has its own door leading directly to a fenced-in outdoor playground, making outdoor play both easy and secure. We also really appreciate the rubberized matting on the playground, which adds an extra layer of safety and comfort for active little explorers. We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this community and highly recommend The Stork's Nest to any family looking for a loving, well-designed, and engaging early childhood environment. The friendly staff are an incredible perk! You can drop your kids off confidently knowing they are going to be loved and cared for like they are the teacher's own kids.

As a new mama, I cannot recommend the East Greenwich Cadence Academy more highly! They have the…read moremost profound sense of responsibility you could hope to find within a daycare facility. Not only are they unfailingly kind and patient, their team is deeply compassionate. As a worrier, I was incredibly anxious to leave my baby for the first time, but they were honest and forthright about their extensive safety measures and fastidious cleaning. And on the first (very emotionally charged day: for me, my daughter was thrilled to meet new people), they were more than understanding and encouraged me to stay as long as I needed. I am so grateful to this team and feel so fortunate that my baby is getting the love she deserves there!

All…read morethe staff, including the floats who help out, are passionate, professional, and incredibly caring. We highly recommend Ms. Kim and Ms. Anhthu in the Infant Room and Ms. Taylor in the Pre-K room. They are fantastic! The kids are involved in so many activities that involve art, culture, music, and outdoor time. Leadership in EG is also excellent. It's a well-run place! They have an online portal for communication and daily updates. They supply diapers and wipes and offer meals/snacks. It's certainly a great perk! Thank you all!

I have been a part of the co-op family here since 2007 when my oldest son entered the three year…read moreold program. "What is a cooperative preschool?" you may ask. As a family, a parent (or grandparent, guardian, etc) contributes time on one school day a month in your child's classroom and devotes at least two hours of time to the annual May Fair fund raiser. The result is a great family vibe that is a socially nurturing environment within a solid academic curriculum. My oldest (the only one in elementary school at this point) was super well-prepared, socially and academically, to enter kindergarten. Impressive for a half-day program. The session is chock full of good learning for these kids. I have my second child finishing up the four year old program here in May and my youngest entering the three year old program in the fall. I almost wish that I had more children just so I could hang out here more than the two years I have ahead. Yeah...I love it that much.

I would like to start by first saying TLE deserves more than five stars. Our son started two years…read moreago and it changed his life and our life as a family. The teachers and leadership are truly amazing and really really care about my son. The facility is so clean and very well lite so you can see when you go into each room not dark like some other establishments. The curriculum is above all else. My son learned Spanish, sign language, math, science and many more things. I honestly wish this school continued into K-5. Our son would be staying. The special bonds the kids made with each classroom as they went through the years is so special. Extra activities included water play days, prom for the class , petting zoo. What a special place Thank you TLE.

We have taken our children out of Early Learning Center, and I encourage you to do so too. This…read moreplace is absolutely terrible. We gave them a chance for a year, but day after day things seemed to get worse. They are severely understaffed which is immediately noticeable. The layout of the building is not designed for a daycare and there is a lot of confusion as to which room the kids of each age group belong in. The existing staff is just trying to make it through the day. They have little to no curriculum, and what structure they do have is impossible for the staff to follow, due to the lack of trained personnel. At times when I picked up my kids I would count 15-20 kids (ages 3-5) with one staff member. My daughter WAS in the process of being potty trained but ended up regressing due to the inability of the staff to maintain a bathroom schedule. Nearly every day I picked her up with a messy (and disgustingly full) diaper. I witnessed children fighting while staff sat inattentive on cellphones daily. Toys and play equipment are in poor repair and are borderline dangerous. The building is in horrible condition and definitely NOT up to code, with broken metal railings and exposed sharp edges. After a year of kindergarten our son was reading and writing full sentences. Now after a summer of their program, which is supposed to promote a learning environment, he is entering first grade and behind in his studies. Their summer program was pretty much sitting on iPads watching videos all day. The staff is only working with what they have, the director/owner is 100% at fault and should be jailed for the lies told and mismanagement of this facility. My heart goes out to the struggling staff and these poor children.

Miss Celina the director is very knowledgeable and always got back to me right away. Amazing program!

Ms. Lori and Ms. Michele took such good care of my son, I truly feel I could not repay them for piece of mind they gave me. After moving out of state, and now experiencing other daycare, I truly can appreciate how wonderful of a place storks Nest is! The teachers continually work each day in the same classroom so that the children see the same faces each day. They can tell you exactly how your child's day went from start to finish because they pay such great attention to the children in their class. My son came home with new words, songs and signs language daily (started daycare at 7 months, left storks nest at 19 months). Nothing in our new state has even compared to the care we got at Storks Nests!
