Little Red Wagon Playschool https://www.littleredwagonplayschool.com/

Gan Aliyah. It's an amazing school.

Happy Child is great! http://happychildnewton.com

First Baptist Nursery School is great. Both of my boys went there and I loved the teachers, the small class size, and the fact that they had an opportunity to interact on a regular basis with kids and teacher in the other age group. Two classes with a middle room provides this opportunity and also a third teacher. They also have the option to stay for lunch if you choose which extends the day until 2:15. http://firstbaptistnursery.org/

Chestnut Childrens Center!!!

Carter Center for Children. My son had a wonderful experience there and met several kids he still knows to this day. He even went and did his Eagle Scout project there due in part to the fond memories. The bike rack was his Eagle Scout project.

The Teddy Bear Club in Newton is fantastic. French immersion and wonderful teacher/student ratio.

My daughter is at Gan Aliyah and loves it. For that age is a 3-day program 9-12 but can be flexible if only need 2 days. I believe the class will have 8-9 kids and two teachers. Very small and nurturing preschool. Email debbi at debbi@templealiyah.com

My children adored and thrived at the Carter Center for Children - http://www.cartercenterforchildren.org/

Maryruth Paras is a great broker if you need housing advice.

Linda Shaughnessy is a great broker if you need housing advice. She lives in Needham as well so she knows the town very well.

The Second Step inc. Go to website and scroll to bottom for donations

Cradles to Crayons is well respected. For new toys and crafts, you could also consider Birthday Wishes. They are in Newton and provide gifts and party items for children in shelters. http://birthdaywishes.org/

You could also ask Penny Kirk from the Needham Housing Authority as there's a community room that the kids there love to go to. ❤

Second Step has 2 shelters in Newton. Your local DCF office will take for kids going into foster care, etc. also.

There are so many great pre-schools in the area. Off the bat I would recommend Carter. http://www.cartercenterforchildren.org

Without hesitation - Carter Center for Children! The staff are all fantastic and there is low turnover in an enriching and joyful environment. Located in a church, it has several outside playgrounds / shaded lawns and a large inside play area, in addition to the four classroom spaces. Since Needham Public Schools only offers half-day kindergarten, they provide transportation so its a seamless transition from school to Carter during the last year of pre-school. Friendships that are made at Carter often continue into their teenage years, and many former students return to volunteer / do community service hours. Best to sign up NOW because its such a popular pre-school that they often have a waiting list.

Lots of great ones in the area, we love Precious Beginnings in Dover- just over the Needham Line. They have the biggest out door play area I have seen, so several planned thought the year. This Friday they have the dads in for Fathers Day Coffee. The director/owner is wonderful and the teachers are great. You can google and check out their website online.

I am a teacher at Bright Horizons in Newton and I know they are currently enrolling.

Bright Horizons Wellesley in the business park at intersection of RT 9 and RT 95.

Bright Horizons in Wellesley, they are great, and have been around for a while. We've been there with my daughter- she started at 4 months and just started their pre-school. My second will start in Aug. I can pm you contact and details if interested.
