We love Grandma's Montessori! Our kiddo started here at 2 years old, and it was clear how much fun…read moreand learning he was having. Isabel is an awesome teacher, with so much experience. She speaks Spanish to her students, and clearly cares so much for each of them. When we've had concerns over certain behaviors, she was very receptive to having a conversation and giving us insight into the situation. She engages the kids in so many different types of activities, from yoga to music to science to playing with vehicles in the backyard. Our kiddo is a happy kiddo at Grandma's Montessori!

She loves the weekly trips to the library for story time, and every Monday morning she is excited to get her shoes and coat to go out to school. The teachers are friendly and get to know the children. They individualize the care each child receives - particularly for the young babies if they are breastfed or cloth diapered. The director is approachable and responds to feedback. I look forward to enrolling future children here. The physical space of the facility is not bells-and-whistles amazing, but I feel my child is safe, well-cared for, and is receiving appropriate developmental instruction.

I discovered SolBe's social media accounts as a natural extension of our family's involvement in…read moreSolBe's child care program--initially, joining SolBe prompted me to proactively seek out their social pages, and subsequently, I followed Marlo's page (@solbe.mar) within the past year. SolBe's content isn't just about routine announcements, it serves as an educational space for parents and caregivers to learn how to be the best parents for their children. Personally, I appreciate the nutrition-focused content since I enjoy cooking. I love seeing the recipes shared (especially on Marlo's page!). With a packed schedule and limited time for extensive reading on parenting methods, the effective parenting tactics discussed are also valuable. What sets SolBe's content apart is its evident research-backed approach and thoughtful planning. The professionalism showcased in the content, including high-quality videos, distinguishes it from other creators with similar goals. I would highly recommend SolBe's social media platforms to other parents and caregivers. The depth of learning opportunities extends beyond just SolBe-related content, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve their parenting skills. As I follow SolBe along in the future, I hope to see more DIY activities for parents to engage in with their children at home, along with information about community & local event recommendations--we're always looking for activities to do with our children when they aren't at SolBe, and would find value in SolBe-recommended activities!

Our toddler started at SolBe on day one of the school opening. We had very high hopes after our…read moreinterview, despite the cost being much higher than the alternatives. For the added expense, we were promised minute by minute updates, a two-to-one ratio of teachers to students, and a focus on education that could be overlooked elsewhere. Unfortunately, despite an excellent experience with the Director and our son's first teacher, a significant change was made after a few months. The Director, along with many more staff members, were replaced, and the focus seemed to shift notably towards higher profits and cost cutting measures. Our son was moved into a much larger room where there were often two teachers for eight babies, even after they showed up late. The stress put on the staff still making an effort meant that the "minute-by-minute" updates through the app were ignored until the afternoon when they played catch up while all the kids were napping. Often, we wouldn't find out if our son had eaten or had a diaper change until hours after he'd been picked up. The high ratio also contributed to clothes being lost or ruined with art materials unsuitable for infants, diaper changes being skipped, brusies and scrapes, and a near weekly changeover of staff who were clearly frustrated with the experience as well. Our son's class shared a changing room with another, and it was very common to hear the teachers there, unaware they were being observed, repeatedly screaming at the toddlers "everyone come here" and "be quiet". Another thing for prospective families to consider is that SolBe considers themselves a school first and a daycare second. On the average month, SolBe closes around three working days for holidays, conferences, and "teacher enrichment", meaning that working parents will suddenly have a child to account for (not even to mention the frequency that they contact you and ask you to bring your child home early because they "seem like they're not feeling so well', with no other symptoms than a low fever and a lack of energy; a very common experience for young kids). Obviously, the monthly cost is the same regardless of how many days they actually care for your child. Ultimately, we found another center that is offering 5 nine-hour days a week for the same price that SolBe was charging for 3 seven-hour visits. The new school doesn't have a fancy app or gourmet lunches, but we feel our child is a lot more than just an income source in their eyes, and we're much happier. (FYI- This review refers to the new location on Sherman Road, which doesn't have its own listing as of this date.)

I have nothing but positive things to say about my child's time at LCS:…read more The staff were full of love and brought so much care and attention to my little one every day. All of the teachers/caregivers work very well as a team and take the time to get to know and love each of the children they look after and it really does show on the faces of the little ones attending the program. The learning curriculum is engaging for the kids and the communications with parents are frequent and clear . The Brightwheel app updates are amazing; seeing photos of my kid every day really brightened my mood. The physical space within the daycare is fun and inviting, with each classroom mocked up as a house or building in a neighborhood (hallway). I'd HIGHLY recommend this daycare to anyone in the Brookline/Boston area looking for somewhere their LO can socialize, exercise, learn, and grow in a safe and loving environment.

Both of my kids spent several years at LCSH, starting (for kid #1 at age 4, and kid #2 from 9…read moremonths). Between them, they passed through every classroom. There was not a single room that we (and they) didn't love! My son left for Kindergarten a year ago and my daughter is leaving now at age 3 to be closer to our home for pick-up/drop-off reasons. I'm so incredibly grateful we had LCSH to care for our children. First, the leadership. Lissy and Gladys are wonderful. They are experienced, kind, friendly, professional, and very responsive. They clearly love and know each one of the children and care for their staff. There is very little staff turnover, which both creates a very nice family atmosphere for the kids and speaks to Lissy and Gladys' leadership. When the pandemic hit, Lissy and Gladys did everything they could to keep the children safe while understanding the needs of working parents. I also have compared their tuition to many other places and they are very reasonable. Second, the staff! They are such wonderful people - my kids loved them all because they are warm, loving, and great educators. My son was fully ready for Kindergarten and my daughter has learned fine motor skills, sharing, listening, resolving conflicts, and fairness. Often teachers from previous years would see my daughter in the hallway and give her big hugs. It meant a lot to us that they felt surrounded by people who care. Third, the other programs. Lissy and Gladys keep things fresh by bringing in music teachers, having field days, sports, and many other activities. My daughter looked forward to every Thursday when Ms. Monica would come to her class and bring instruments for the kids to play and to dance. Finally, the community. The parents and other children are a lovely group of people. We are sad to leave LCSH, but grateful we have the memories. If you visit the school - especially Boylston street - it's not the most beautiful location. But don't judge based on that! The school itself is very nice and the teachers get the kids out and about to the local parks for sports, water parties in the summer, and playground fun. Ultimately, LCSH is a great place with people who truly care about kids and families.

Our son is 18 months, he has been going to Rainbow daycare for six moths now, and I can truly say…read morewe have been blessed finding this daycare. Life's circumstances changed quickly and we were in a crunch for finding childcare at a very difficult time in our lives, and had to go with a place that not only had availability but also could accommodate my complex working hours. This was the best choice ever. Sara was very patient and accommodating with my schedule. She goes above and beyond everyday taking care of all of the children like they were her own. She makes them fresh delicious organic meals everyday. She is very communicative and responsive. She is very loving and caring to all the children, as I witnessed her caring for the other children at times when I've had to pick up our son early from daycare. As a mom, it can be hard to trust just anyone with your child and I couldn't ask for better caretakers for my child, not only Sara, but her assistant Rossy. Most importantly, my son loves going to Rainbow daycare and absolutely loves both of his caretakers and classmates. I wanted my son to be raised bilingual and at Rainbow daycare its Possible. He's learned so much in the last 6 months. We are blessed.
