A to Z Preschool and Childcare LLC

Both of our children have had the privilege of starting their learning journey at A to Z Childcare and Preschool in Needham, and we cannot recommend this center highly enough. Our daughter attended between 2021-2022 with significant language and communication delays. Under the extraordinary guidance of teachers like Ms. Janice and Ms. Jess in preschool and pre-K, she blossomed. Her language, reading, and social-emotional skills flourished, and she was so well prepared for kindergarten that she sailed through her first months with confidence. What is often the hardest transition became seamless for her, thanks to A to Z. Naturally, when it was time for her younger brother (six years her junior) to begin in 2023, there was no question where he would go. While he is naturally quiet and introverted, the A to Z staff have gone above and beyond in helping him find his voice. With their patient support, he mastered potty training, expanded his vocabulary, and gained a new level of confidence that grows daily. The new administration has made a strong center even stronger. Under the leadership of Ms. Kaylie, the campus has seen impressive upgrades to security, parent resources, and educational programming. She brings positivity, focus, and a real commitment to continuous improvement. I especially appreciate her responsiveness to parent feedback and her belief in setting individual goals for each child, ensuring that no student is ever just “one of many.” A to Z isn’t just a childcare center; it’s a partner in raising bright, confident, and resilient kids. My daughter, now nine, read more than 250 fiction and nonfiction books this past summer, an enduring testament to the foundation built here. If we had a third child, there is no question we’d send them to A to Z. It is a true hidden gem, and we are so grateful to call them part of our family!

The staffs are very caring and patient. There are lots of fun activities to encourage communication between teachers and families and help form a supportive community. Our kid loves the school so much.

We're extremely grateful that we discovered, and sent our daughter to A to Z, for almost 3 years. Management and staff have always been pleasant and helpful. Her days were action-packed, and they did a great job of introducing new concepts and fun activities. They really helped her learn and grow in so many ways!

We love A to Z - every classroom from infant to pre-k has been a wonderful experience. it is clear the teachers really care about my children, they have lots of fun activities like arts and crafts, yoga, music and special seasonal/holiday fun too. Hours are great, prices are reasonable and i get to see pictures of my kids throughout the day. highly recommend!

I really can't express how grateful I am for my son to have attended A to Z for almost 3 years! I moved back to the area a few years ago and was so worried that my youngest was going to have difficulty transitioning not only to a new home, but a new daycare. Eileen and ALL of the teachers made my son feel so welcome! It was if he had attended his entire life. Throughout his time at A to Z, he has absolutely flourished! Not only academically, but socially! He is beyond prepared for Kindergarten this Fall because of the support, encouragement and kindness he received from the teachers and staff at A to Z! We are going to miss seeing you all every day!
