Next Gen staff clearly care about the families, the community, and each other. The center is clean, the staff fun, and the Directors responsible and experienced. They hold everyone to high standards of care. Sadly, this is the complete opposite of our previous center. Though we have only interacted with some teachers (starting at 4 means we skipped a few classes!), all have been wonderful. My daughter is getting ready for Kindergarten, made fantastic friends, and regularly makes cards for her teachers (just because she adores them). I no longer stress about the care she is receiving, if she will be behind in school, or if the teachers are treated well (phew!). I will note the cost is higher and the hours more limited (close earlier) than our other center. Thankfully, we were able to manage both; totally worth it!

First, and most importantly, the teachers and staff are amazing. The communication with the management team was always timely and we appreciated the transparency that was always provided around any teacher changes within classrooms (this was super important to us coming into the school). Any questions that I emailed the administrative team (usually after hours) were generally at least acknowledged that night (either with an answer or letting me know a timeframe I could expect an answer). Our boys were happy with the teachers and staff they interacted with (and even now when we pass by the school while driving they ask if they can stop and say hello) and simply RAVED about Chef Dan's cooking. The classrooms are spacious, clean and organized and we felt confident sending our kids there even during the COVID pandemic because of their thorough cleaning protocols and safety measures. We loved the structured curriculum that included the philosophy of learning while playing. Music and math were essentially part of most lessons throughout the day! Phonics and reading development were worked into the curriculum as well (some other places we looked at included these programs but they were an additional cost). Cost is usually a factor when selecting a daycare and we were very happy that the rates at Primrose were competitive with other similarly situated centers. We truly saw the value in what we were paying and the care and educational support and experience the kids were receiving. In total, we were at the school for nearly 3 years and one or both of our kids were in toddlers, preschool, pre-K, the private kindergarten program as well as the (newly created during COVID) school-age remote learning programs and both kids attended full-time. We are thankful to be part of the Primrose School of Chelmsford family and have met teachers and friends that we are confident will be in our lives for some time going forward.

To say we have loved our experience at Primrose School of Chelmsford would be an understatement. I…read moredon't know if words can adequately express the amount of gratitude we have for Primrose of Chelmsford and their amazing staff. During our time, they have continued to exceeded every expectation we had. We started our journey with Primrose in April of 2021, when I was returning back to work after being remote from the pandemic. I was so impressed with their clean facility, communication with parents, and their curriculum. The teachers and staff have encouraged and supported my son in so many ways and we see his confidence soaring. It's so easy sending him in everyday because he loves to go to school. We know when he's there that he is safe, cared for, and having the best time. I really loved the communication and pictures through the app and whenever I needed anything, Anne and Heidi were always right there to help. We couldn't have asked for better experience!

Now our daughter is in a two-year old class and the teachers are helping her learn the alphabet and numbers and colors and are even doing a ton to help with toilet training, which is amazing. Every day, our little girl comes home learning something new--talking better, counting to ten...it's amazing. And she's happy! One thing I love about the school is that the owners are really great about communicating with us as parents, and the teachers are too. We actually get a daily e-mail (also communicated through an app on our phone) with pictures of our daughter and details ranging from what she ate to when she pooped to all of the activities that they did and how they enhanced her learning in different areas like social skills or gross motor movement or math or language. There's also usually a picture of her and there's always a "memorable moment" from her day. The classes at Goddard are small compared to other childcares, which has been great in terms of giving our daughter individualized attention as well. In short--I cannot recommend Goddard highly enough. As a parent, I feel safe and secure and confident sending my daughter here!

I fell in love with the beautiful classrooms and the educational philosophy. But the reality is that the administration makes it a miserable environment for teachers and parents, and therefor children as well. I had prepared my child mentally for attending CCG for over a year during the pandemic, and we were the schools biggest fans. If someone had told me somethin negative about the school, I would not have listened and would want to believe that it was a wonderful place. A place cannot be good for children if it treats children with disregard and families are met with hostility. There's nothing I can do to take back the immense stress that was caused to my family and child. Please look elsewhere, save your family the stress. I too read a bad review, but wanted to believe it was just one disgruntled person. It is not worth putting your child in the hands of an act. Go to the Groton Community School instead, or a small intimate daycare in a neighboring town, or get a nanny. Anything else but CCG.

My family has been at TLE since 2014 and I can't say enough good things about them. My oldest…read morestarted at 2 years old (now 6) and my youngest started at 3 months old, so while disconnected by age and child, we've essentially gone through start to finish. There are a few things that really stand out strong for me at TLE in comparison to the two other daycares we've been at when my oldest was between 0-2 yrs old. All the staff at TLE know my kids by name, they say hi to us in the hallways and even though they have assigned teachers, they all float periodically so that they know ALL the kids. This makes transitions that much easier to new rooms and teachers. The daycare is filled with children's art work on nearly every space of wall in the classrooms (a stark difference to a prior daycare that had NONE), and they engage their teachers in monthly bulletin board contests using children's artwork. They come out so amazing! They host pot lucks and other family events throughout the year with animals, magicians, Bubbles the Elephant, games and food. There's so many staff that are consistent and love what they do, and it shows by how well they care for the children. They are open to feedback and work well to make accommodations. They have really great safety and food policy practices that make me feel very comfortable with my daughter with allergies. They have a really great curriculum and before my daughter even made it to Kindergarten, she was reading at TLE. When she "graduated" from TLE, they put on a really special graduation ceremony, and made a keepsake "yearbook", complete with superlatives for each child. Really amazing. Very happy to be here at TLE and always recommend it to people looking around for a new daycare.
