She's friendly and always keeps up with the things going on in each individual classroom. The teachers are equally as impressive. Although TM is no longer on my route to the office, I'm still sending my youngest there because I know I'll never find a school or group of teachers better than this.

My son always looked forward to his two day care days and I always felt at ease knowing he was in the most capable hands.

Nestled in a quiet family neighborhood, St. Joseph School stands proudly having educated children…read morefrom Wakefield and surrounding towns for generations. Visitors are immediately charmed by the school's architecture, well manicured grounds, gleaming floors and ornate woodwork. This same attention to detail is evident throughout the educational experience as well. From pre-kindergarten through grade eight, students are challenged as they are nurtured in an environment that is educationally and spiritually rewarding. A tight-knit community, fostered by a talented faculty and parental involvement, St. Joseph School is rooted in the Roman Catholic tradition.

My older daughter graduated from the school two years ago and my youngest is about to begin her…read moresecond year. For our family the school has been wonderful. The staff is talented and committed. There is a parent participation component, as with all cooperative programs. This is something that drew me to the program. I was amazed my first year how varied people's situations are - one or both parents working outside the home part or full time, nanny's, grandparents and family friends helping out at pick-up and drop-off, as well as moms and dads working as stay-at-home parents. I didn't carpool, but some families arranged carpools. I often swapped child-care of my youngest daughter (when my oldest was in school) on parent-help days and then would watch another family's younger child when it was their turn. I've benefited from the sense of community at the school, and the chance to have a few hours every month or so to be with my child at school. The best part though is the positive experience my children have had at the school, developing social skills and learning through play.

My youngest attended their toddler program last year, and will be entering the 3-year-old program…read morethis fall. We had a great experience in his first year. It is a cooperative program, so you have to be open to that aspect. I personally loved helping in the classroom and getting to observe my child interacting with his friends. There are some volunteer components -- one work day a year to help maintain the school and grounds and service on one committee -- but they certainly aren't onerous. It's not for everyone, but so far I've found it very manageable as a working parent. The other parents are very supportive and open to switching schedules. I'm new to town, so I've found it a valuable way to meet other people and find a sense of community. The curriculum is play-based, so the focus is more on developing imagination, healthy social interaction, etc. I'm looking forward to seeing how the curriculum develops as my son progresses.
