Our two-year-old daughter wakes up every day asking if she can go play at Monique's house. We really appreciate the open concept and independent learning that's encouraged at One Childhood- plus the outdoor space (including hobbit hole! and water tables) is hard to beat. The hours are great (7:30-5:30) and Monique and Howie are super flexible. Did I mention they have a chameleon the kids love? Monique and Howie also run a myriad of cultural activities for every holiday ranging from Christmas to Day of the Dead and Dwali. I'd be remiss if I didn't comment on the FOOD- it's unbelievable. I review the menus daily and while it all sounds good on paper, it looks and smells AMAZING! If you're considering sending your child here, I'd encourage you to pull the trigger- you won't regret it!

My son has been going to One Childhood ELC for a little over a year now. He has done so well here I…read moream afraid of how he will react when he goes to preschool! He took to Monique and Howie right away. When he first started going here he was still in diapers and when we were ready to potty train Monique was right on board and we were in undies in no time! I love that all of the meals are freshly prepared, lots of fruits and veggies. When my first started he was a picky 2 year old with limited foods he would eat. Once I changed up the meal time routine at home Monique followed suit at school and now he eats so many foods and things he would never touch before. I love that she sends pictures and daily/weekly updates on how he is doing. They do lots of outdoor play and do awesome field trips like the museum of science and even the beach! I plan to have my son here until he transitions to either preschool or kindergarten. I only wish I had found this daycare sooner!! All photos I attached are photos of my son at One Childhood ELC and some of the fun activities they do.

And definitely don't plan around the quote time they give you. I've been on the toddler waitlist since last year and somehow seems to get pushed back in line every time I call to check on the status.

One pool is basically a splash type pool for free swim. they also have a designated lap pool, which is what I am interested in. The third is an outside pool, which I have not used however, summer is approaching and I will check it out, but I assume it's gonna be for family and children on hot days more than someone like myself that swims laps. The facility is very large, but has tight parking. It is located behind downtown Malden. The staff throughout the facility all seem very nice and always try to be helpful. Be prepared when school lets out for there to be a lot of extra activity here as that's one of the high populated times of the day toddlers and highschoolers alike.

When we started at the school, he had difficulties forming clear sentences. Now he can clearly communicate, knows his alphabets and numbers (in sign language as well), and started doing simple maths! The facility and curriculum are fantastic. The teachers are wonderful and Mr. Dave (owner) and Ms. Shannon (director) are great. Everyone takes such good care of the school. The owner is almost always on site and very responsible to any inquiries and emails. Even the families that have their kids enrolled there are amazing. My son became good friends with all his classmates and loved attending playdates and birthday celebrations. Unfortunately, our family relocated to a different state so my son had to leave. He still asks to go back to this school to see his friends and his favorite teacher Ms. Bopha! Thank you Goddard Saugus for the wonderful experience for my son and family!

Clearly the standards at Panda are high - be it hygiene, the rich interactions between the teachers and students , the curriculum designed to encourage individual play as well as peer learning, the involvement of the staff and the attention to parents feedback by the management. My now 4.5 year old confident, happy and creative child blossomed in this daycare and all the kind teachers will forever be a part of her memories. I would recommend Panda to all my family and friends in a heartbeat! Thank you Panda for being an important part of shaping my daughter and preparing her for the real world.

Our center's mission is to offer the highest quality care and education for children from three months to kindergarten entry. The Panda Bilingual Daycare curriculum is inspired by many of the tenets of Maria Montessori's educational theory and practice, along with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and our own unique features. The core of the Montessori curriculum is divided into four main areas: sensory, practical life, language, and mathematics. Many of the materials and methods we use are derived from her work. The children will also explore cultural, scientific and historical subjects such as geography, geology, zoology and botany at levels appropriate to their development.

I can't recommend Children's Playhouse more. We started bringing our daughter here when she was…read more8-weeks-old in 2019, and they made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Our daughter has thrived at this daycare, and we have loved all of her teachers. The small classrooms and individual attention from the teachers is a huge perk, and they helped my daughter accomplish many milestones. It was amazing watching her come home having learned new skills and words at daycare. A HUGE perk is that CPD provides breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack, which meant I never had to worry about packing food, and she was exposed to a wide variety of foods every day. We made the difficult decision to move out-of-state in early 2021, and the hardest part was knowing we wouldn't be able to send our daughter to CPD anymore. Of note, CPD took great precautions after they were allowed to re-open in 2020 during the COVID pandemic, and we we always felt comfortable bringing our daughter there, even during this otherwise uneasy time. We love CPD and if they ever opened a location in Southeast NH, we'd be the first in line to enroll.
