My daughter was left alone with a therapist at Rainbow Star Learning Center who had not completed…read morethe required Massachusetts EEC Background Record Check. This was not simply missing paperwork. The required screening checks criminal history, fingerprint-based state and national records, sex-offender registries, and DCF records involving supported findings of child abuse or neglect. Massachusetts requires third-party providers, including therapists, to complete this screening when they may have unsupervised access to children. Rainbow Star nevertheless allowed this therapist to be alone with my daughter before the required child-safety screening had been completed. The Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care documented the incident as a supervision violation. As her parent, I find this completely unacceptable. I trusted Rainbow Star to ensure that anyone left alone with my young daughter had been properly screened and cleared. That basic responsibility was not met. Based on what happened to my daughter, I would not recommend Rainbow Star Learning Center.

The teachers (Marina, Fifi, Eena, Grace) are very caring, thoughtful and some of them have been with the learning center for several years. Sasha/Aleksandra the director of the daycare center is very involved & hands on. She made every effort to address any concerns we had very promptly! The added advantage is that there is playground very close to the center and the kids just playing there with their friends. Loved it & highly recommend!

School is cool is our favorite child care: the teachers are all very professional and passionate,…read morethe educational program is so variable, every day our toddler brings home new things she's made, tells us new stories, at 2 she new the letters, at 3,5 she can read! They have highly professional teachers who come to give special classes like music, painting and yoga, our lo loves it all! They make birthday celebrations for each kid, place pictures on Instagram almost every day, and we love to see her happy face there. They make special projects for every single holiday, so the kids get to know the culture while doing arts & crafts. And our lo is always excited about going to "School is Cool", so that's the main reason we like it! She started at 1,5 and we only changed between locations in the "School is Cool" chain.

School is Cool is a wonderful daycare and with plenty of options to choose from in the Brookline area, I am glad we chose this one. The staff are lovely and there is very little turnover, so you really get to know them as your little ones grow. Olesia took over as Director earlier this year and she is great, she makes such an effort with the kids activities and extra-curricular fun. This is one of the most cost effective daycares in the area, so there's no fancy app telling you what your child is up to every second of the day, and meals are not provided, but these are both things we happily live without. Just knowing our child is happy, safe and learning each day is everything we need.

Have used LCSH for my kids for years from infant through preK. I have had only good experiences and…read moregreat things to say. The infant and toddler room was safe, teachers communicate well, and are caring. The preschool room (2-3years) was also welcoming, caring teachers, and safe. They take the kids to activities like walks, local parks, and keep them safe. The best experience has been pre-K; They are really a comprehensive Pre K program, with 2 teachers / up to 20 kids, and incorporate reading, writing, science, math, field trips, park, library, swimming.. I have toured other pre-K's including expensive private preK's in newton. None of them were up to par with LCSH. LCSH is both quite affordable for its excellent location, and comprehensive. Diverse students are a plus. The other pre-K's including much more expensive private places like Bright Horizon's do not do field trips, swimming, theatre, yoga etc like LCSH incorporates....so, having toured a bunch of other pre-K I love LCSH the most.. Ms Sandra is the contact / local director and she is pretty busy I am sure responsive when needed. The teachers in Pre K have been also very responsive by the app every day, sharing photos, responding to your questions, etc. And accommodating for example I wanted privacy for bathroom for the kids/ dietary restrictions like gelatin etc they were always aware and made sure to follow the preferences. 10/10 recommend.

Our son has been at Little Corner Schoolhouse (Too location) for almost a year now. He started in…read morethe toddler room and has now moved up to he preschool room. He loves it there and therefore we love it there. The teachers do a great job updating the parent communication app (Brightwheel) and I love getting anywhere from 3-10 photos of him doing fun things throughout the day. A brief update of what they did for the day is also posted in the app. Both toddler and preschool teachers send out a monthly curriculum of the theme for the month and what the kids are learning. This is great because then we can reinforce the same themes at home. They mix it up with activities including periodic yoga and children's musicians. If I were to have any more "wants" it would be to go outside more. They do go on walks and to the playground almost daily, depending on weather. I'm all about outdoor time so I would have them out in a drizzle and even when it's cold -- but, this isn't an outdoor school, and they do spend a good amount of time outside. Other big plusses in my book are low teacher turnover and hours (6:30am-6:30pm). We usually do ~8:30am-6pm but it's nice that it's open earlier for those days when I have an early appointment or it's an exceptionally early wake up. It's a welcoming environment and I'm glad my son is happy to run in to play every day.

Though this is a large daycare center, the care that the children receive is personalized, and caring. Our daughter was well known to teachers throughout the scho, and administrative staff. We never felt like a number here. We loved her classroom teachers, and it was clear to us that they loved our daughter too. She thrived during her time at Adventures, and I could see how she much she was learning, week by week. She was always happy to go to school! I never worried about my daughter while she was at Adventures. We received regular updates (and pictures) throughout the day, via an app, about what her class did that day, what she ate and drank, diaper changes, and naps. I knew that she was in the best hands! And for an anxious Mama, that is a big deal! We did not want to leave Adventures, but due to extenuating family circumstances we had to make a hard decision. The administrative team offered us a lot of support during this time, which we are very thankful for. Hopefully one day we will be back!
