I have learned so much as an early child educator from the teacher mentors I have met along the way. As an employee I feel supported by management and my coworkers. I have had the joy and pleasure to be in the lives of some fantastic kids and families. Anyone looking to work in the early education field should consider a career at NGCC Andover.

This transition was tough for him and myself as he had a horrible ending to his last daycare. I initially got a gut feeling when I toured which is why I chose it. I was overjoyed and pleasantly surprised with how consistently happy/friendly/caring the staff are day after day. I truly feel that my son is loved there everyday by all the teachers and management not just his primary teachers. And the management team appears flawless/kind and a pleasure to work with! I could go on but truly we LOVE it here that sums it up!

I'm baffled by the only other review of Half Pints. I can only assume this person is either a very…read moredisgruntled parent or a, ex-worker. A Yelp member with only one review that is a 1 star is always suspect and I'm surprised that the Yelp filter did not hide it. In the time our child has been at Half Pints, everyone that works here have nothing but professional and bright. Cathy the owner is 100% the complete opposite of what the other reviewer stated. She is friendly, warm, engaging and an extremely knowledgeable at running a large daycare center. Any issues we have brought to her have always been handled right away and with extreme professionalism. She truly has always put our child's care first above of money. The comment about her being only concerned about money is actually laughable. We have always made our daycare payments on time. I'd imagine if parents were behind with their payments, they would be spoken to about it. Perhaps the other reviewer couldn't pay on time and got a warning, as they should. All the teachers at HPLC work extremely hard to care for our infants, toddler, and kids and they deserve to be paid for it. After going on many tours and comparing rates, they were right around the middle of the road. In fact, they are the only center we found that offer 10 days of free tuition to use for vacation or sick days. The co-directors, Cathy, Amy or any of the teachers at HPLC are always available to chat with or ask questions. It's a great comfort that they have a nurse on site, the co-director Amy. The center itself is modern, well equipped with toys, activities and is very safe with a security system and controlled access. The indoor gymnasium is an amazing addition that most centers do not have. Perfect for days it is too hot, wet or cold to go out in. Our child has been thriving here and has learned a lot from her teachers and socializing with other children. Everyone we have interfaced with has extensive knowledge and experience to be in this profession. I don't get the comment about teachers always being on phones. HPLC has a strict no phone during work policy and they enforce it. I highly recommend checking them out for your child.

The way the school progresses the kids through their classroom system is brilliant, keeping each kid with their own age group and abilities. Nevan has always looked forward to each day at school and literally runs through the front door each day to whichever classroom he's been in. To go along with this our older two kids had attended a different daycare/preschool which we were very happy with at the time. Due to live changes our middle guy and youngest had to start attending a different school (Wonder Years). While we were extremely happy with our original daycare we quickly saw how much Wonder Years blew it out of the water in comparison. Wonder Years also made it extremely easy for our middle guy to transition from his original school. He quickly made new friends, which he still has to this day and enjoyed his last year of preschool there which prepared him greatly for kindergarten. Thank you Karen and staff for taking such great care of our kids. Due to the nature of work/life you spend a lot of quality time with our kids and we have a great piece of mind knowing that they are in your hands when they are not with mom and dad.

He loves all his teachers and talks about them all the time. The curriculum is also great. My son has learned so much and always tells me about the new things he learned and all the different activities he participated in. The administration is also amazing.

There is something wrong with this daycare. My child has been there for over a year and I have seen…read morethe center director Mirabel raise concerns to various parents that their child has problems developing and recommended speech therapy or special needs to several parents so far. I don't think so many parents or children need that kind of help. Be suspicious of this. I do see some of these teachers in their classroom don't have good enough training to encourage your child or know what to say to teach your child to express or lead them through it. That learning and language development comes from good teachers and a good school. I don't see the teachers doing enough of that here. The preschool rooms are overloaded with children that the teacher:student ratio isn't kept within reason throughout the day so each child doesn't get the attention they need or deserve. Be careful with this daycare as they will try to play games with your child and label them as 'slow' at some point. I don't know the reason behind it, but it seems they are trying to push out current families out to let new families in so as to pretend to be sweet to the newer families and feel good about themselves while treating the current families with disrespect. Either way, don't believe what the director says here as most of it she tries to spin her own drama.

From the moment he started, he has felt loved, supported, encouraged, and truly at home. We are so grateful for the incredible teachers who have made such a lasting impact on him--Miss Lorena, Miss Cheryl, Miss Beth, Miss Debby, Mr. Pat, and all of the amazing teachers and staff who pour so much love into the children every day. They have helped him grow not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. One of the greatest gifts has been watching my son make lifelong friends. And, as a mom, I feel just as lucky to have met such wonderful moms along the way--friendships that have grown into a forever bond.
