We started bringing our daughter to Aqua-Tots in Braintree at the beginning of March 2026, and we…read morecouldn't be happier with our experience. We were referred by a friend whose children attend the Norwood location, and they received a $25 referral bonus which was a nice perk. From the very first visit, we felt welcomed. We stopped in for information the end of February, Eric greeted us, gave us a full tour of the facility, and took the time to answer all of our questions. One of the biggest highlights for us is that the pool area is fully enclosed and heated, and parents don't need to get into the water. There's also plenty of seating behind clear glass, so you can comfortably watch your child during lessons. Based on our daughter's age and experience, Eric initially suggested Level 3. We weren't completely sure, so he offered a first-class evaluation before committing, which we really appreciated. They were able to schedule that for the very next day. When we arrived for the evaluation, we were checked in by Max at the front desk, who immediately made us feel comfortable offering us coffee or water while we waited. Right on time at 3:40 PM, they called our daughter in and introduced us to Nevaeh, one of their newer certified instructors. The class ran just under 30 minutes, which felt like the perfect amount of time to evaluate how our daughter would respond. Nevaeh was kind, patient, and encouraging, and our daughter took to her right away. After the session, we felt confident moving forward and signed her up for two classes per week for the month of March. Max helped us set up a consistent schedule for March and explained how easy it is to cancel or reschedule classes, as well as how to track progress through the Aqua-Tots app. They have plenty of swim gear for sale at a reasonable price if you need anything last minute. On her first official day, our daughter even received a welcome beach bag with a T-shirt, coloring book, and rubber ducky, such a thoughtful touch. Since then, we've continued scheduling with Nevaeh whenever possible, as she's become our daughter's favorite instructor. We've also had the chance to meet Sophia and Gina, who have both been wonderful. It's been great to see steady progress with each class. We also met the owner, Tyler, who took the time to check in with us, answer any remaining questions, and make sure we felt confident in our decision. Overall, the entire team: Max, Nevaeh, Sophia, Gina, Eric, and Tyler has been fantastic. The environment is welcoming, organized, and clearly focused on helping kids build confidence and skills in the water. We highly recommend Aqua-Tots in Braintree to any parents looking for a positive and professional swim program.

The photos I added a while back don't even do the school justice. It's been completely repainted…read moreand renovated and is bright, fun and vibrant. Very clean. My son started at the Red House Academy when he was 2 years, 8 months. I wanted to get some more socialization going for him as soon as I could. I was excited to hear that they would start him as a toddler, then transition him to the preschool program at 2 years, 9 months... The official MA preschool age. So, he has been attending for 7 months, 2 mornings a week (right thru the summer). Despite frequent staff changes, I think they are doing a really good job. It is a new business, so I think it's evolving. There is a new director, Kay, she is friendly and outgoing. One of the toddler teachers Jenna was recently promoted to Assistant Director. I like them both very much. My family has had schedule craziness and they've been totally accommodating. The toddler "daycare" teachers seem very competent, clearly love the kids and smile a lot. I personally think that's important, to bring your kids to school to a place where the staff aren't hating life. There is a new preschool teacher, Ms. G. Recently she told us she was fine with it if we wanted to try big boy undies at school. She assured us that she would encourage our son to go every hour. At the end of that first day we had no accidents at school... Because she wasn't afraid of the possibility of having to clean up accidents. I thought that was pretty awesome. In the short time Kay has been the director, there is a private FB page up & running where you can see pictures and videos and get info. Recently added is a link where you can get specific info about your own kid's day. Speaking of privacy & safety, the staff is very much aware of safety issues. Except for pickup and dropoff times the doors are locked. It's a small school so the staff knows who is picking up the kids and who is unusual. They made me sign a form it it was ok to take my son's picture and post on the FB page. They understand that being a parent is hectic and it's easy to forget stuff. I appreciate that they typically give lots of advance notice for anything we are supposed to remember and repeated reminders. Most importantly, my son is happy when I pick him up from school and he is learning. They have a lot of diversity in their day, different activities, crafts, writing, reading, free play time both inside and on the playground. They take little group walks on the back roads behind they school. On hot summer days they can bring swimsuits sometimes and get to go in the sprinkler. I feel like the teachers and staff are working hard to make sure that the kids aren't bored. Also, the school is extremely clean. I would recommend it! But word is getting out, so join fast. Ps very reasonable prices.

After weeks of searching for a preschool, we enrolled our daughter at The Red House in October. My…read moreprimary goal was to find a program that has structure but also a philosophy of learning through active play. Our daughter has been in home care, so I felt this was a good preschool to transition, a more structure setting, but small enough to not be overwhelming. Their schedule and hours are flexible enough to work with my commute to/from Boston daily that also was hugely important. The Director, Ms. Ashita, has been lovely to deal with, her attitude and presence made me feel much more comfortable as a first time mom. Ms. Thelma is very engaging with the children, and seems to work well with them individually based on their personality and needs. Red House thus far has been great, and we look forward to watching our daughter grow and learn new things.

They had him sort, count, repeat syllables, recognize patterns, identify various items/numbers/letters, and numerous other tasks to determine where he was developmentally and intellectually. WELL, he did amazing! What the facilitator and I were most surprised about was his letter recognition skills. So much so, that the woman asked me IF HE COULD READ! I know my son is a smart boy, but seeing him excel so far into the testing really blew all of us away! I just wanted to recognize and thank all of his teachers and the staff at KinderCare because, really, I owe it to everyone who has been teaching him and helping him learn more and more everyday. I so appreciate everything that everyone has done for our family and the impact is so clear.

I cannot say enough great things about the KinderCare in Rockland!…read more My two daughters have been going there since they were both 12 weeks old. One is now in Kindergarten and has excelled in reading, writing and math skills which I credit to the amazing educators in Rockland. The teachers are devoted to the children in their care and the families that they serve. Each day is filled with lots of activities and areas for them to learn and develop. They communicate with me on a daily basis about my girls accomplishments as well as the areas that they need some more help with. They have become part of our family and we love them. Kerri, the Center Director communicates with us constantly about what's going on in the center, the fun activities that they have planned and anything else that is going on with my child. She greets each child with a warm welcome each day and always has a special story about my children to share with me letting me know that she sees each child as an individual. I give this school a 5 star rating because it encompases everything that a great child care center SHOULD have!
