Their hours are very flexible (which was essential for us) and they have treated our last two snow days extremely cautiously and fairly (half days!!! thank you!!!) which is essential for working parents. All the staff know daughter by name (not just her classroom teachers!) and greet her happily every day. She has learned so much and the daily communication through their app, including pictures, really makes me feel as I am connected to her even when we are away. She has learned so much and is always happy to go to "school" and see her teachers and friends. The directors are extremely responsive and always willing to help with whatever you need. Highly recommend NGCC!

The house is always extremely clean and welcoming for all types of kids. The primary daycare room has a lot of natural light, along with several play stations, a family board, and a personal cubbie for each kid.

Communication about everything has also been a positive, as the teacher will reach out whenever is needed, along with extra updates of daily activities. We can't recommend Bright Start enough!

All 3 of my children attended this daycare since 2019 and my husband and I loved it but, since the…read moredaycare has had new owners, a new director and new staff it is a nightmare. The change occurred 11/2022 & after being at this school for years I can't stand to even walk in here. The school now leaves a lot to be desired. I do not recommend anyone sending their children to this school. The school might look amazing when you walk in, the building looks new and the classrooms are nice, but beware sending your children here as you will regret it. This school went from an owner, teachers and a director that genuinely loved and cared for the kids to a building filled with people that could care less about you, your children and their development. Also, when voicing your concerns I suggest you put it all in writing. If you voice concerns they try to retaliate against you by making up stories about you and your family. The school will go as low as feeding your children negative thoughts about you! Also, keep a close eye on your bill! When you pay it, ensure they charged you correctly. They now have a nasty habit of overcharging you without you noticing and claiming it is correct. Let's not even mention charging your account without consent! Before I used to recommend this school to anyone and everyone, but now that they have new owners, management and teachers I would say steer clear for you and your children's sake. If you want to take a chance with this place it up to you, but remember when things are placed in small child's mind it can be detrimental.

Our family has had an incredible experience at Fitzgerald Community School, and we cannot imagine…read morebeing part of a more supportive, nurturing, and inspiring community. One of the things that had initially drawn us to FCS (and what I believe makes them so special) is its amazing nature-based curriculum. We had sought out opportunities for education outside of the "traditional" classroom setting and FCS is exactly what we hoped it would be. The opportunities for children to learn through exploration, outdoor experiences, and have meaningful connections with nature, create a rich and engaging educational environment that is truly unique. After spending this past year amongst this community, it became apparent that we absolutely made the right decision for our daughter. The unwavering support, love, and kindness shown by the learning coaches and staff is something I imagine would be hard to find elsewhere. Every member of the community is deeply invested in the well-being and success of each child. They meet students where they are, recognizing and celebrating their individual strengths while providing thoughtful guidance and encouragement in areas where they need support. They also work continuously to foster relationships among the community (cross classroom learning, "Friendship Fridays", etc.); to help each child grow not only as learners, but also as compassionate and capable individuals. Our daughter has absolutely thrived at FCS this past year, both academically and socially. Her confidence, resilience and curiosity has flourished and that was in no small part to her being surrounded by people who truly care about her growth and happiness. We are endlessly grateful for this remarkable community and cannot recommend the Fitzgerald Community School enough, to any family seeking an educational environment where children are genuinely supported, challenged, and celebrated, each and every day. We look forward to many years ahead at FCS.

If you are looking for a nature-based, whole brain / body learning experience for your child, I…read morehighly recommend Fitz! My husband and I were looking for a nature-based preschool for our son in Central Mass. A friend recommended Fitz and we fell in love with the program. The school has before care, after care, summer camp and holiday programs. It's our one-stop support system since we came from out of state. The property backs up to a nature reserve, and the kids spend hours outside learning and playing. The class ratios are small, and the different age levels interact with one another. My son loves having an older reading buddy and playing with older and younger kids. I love that my child is getting fresh air, sunshine, and learning through play. One of my favorite parts of the school is the support we got as parents. The owner of the school is an experienced child education consultant. She regularly hosts parenting classes and community events. My child is strong willed and stubborn, and the school taught me how to work with his personality so that everyone in our family is happy and harmonious. One of the core values of Fitz is preserving childhood. In this day and age of stress and sensory overload, I'm so glad there's a place my child can go where he gets to learn and just be a kid. Developing curiosity, relationships, and critical thinking are some of the positive traits we've watched our child develop at Fitz. The only "negative" I can think of is that once you experience this education model it's hard to go back. Once we learned that most of the public schools have 15 minutes outside per day, we re-enrolled for kindergarten. The school currently runs to grade 5. I'm so glad we found it.

If I could give zero stars I would…read more My son attended Strawberries Early Learning Center for just two days and in that short time I witnessed clear signs of neglect and unprofessionalism that no parent should ever experience. On the first day he was sent home in a full diaper despite me providing diaper ointments and clearly stating in the enrollment forms and verbally that he has extremely sensitive skin. By the second day he came home with a severe painful diaper rash with peeling skin. I was heartbroken. When I calmly raised my concerns to the director instead of taking accountability or even expressing concern for my child's health she retaliated and removed my son from the daycare on the spot. As I was leaving she clapped her hands at me called me crazy and threatened to call the police while I was already walking off the property with my son. Her behavior was loud degrading and completely unprofessional. A 51A report has now been filed by a Worcester police officer who was also shocked by the photos of my son's condition. I have also filed complaints with the Department of Early Education and Care and will be pursuing further action with MCAD EEOC and the BBB. And this is just my experience not everyone will have the same one but I'm posting this because no one should let all the positive reviews blind them. Every year the daycare asks parents to leave reviews on Google because that's how they boost their enrollment numbers. Do your own research ask questions and trust your gut.
