First Circle Learning Center

We have been at First Circle since 2022, and I love that many of the teachers that worked with my older child are still there, caring for my younger child. In particular would like to mention Ms. Helen, who has been a calm guiding caregiver from whom I have asked advice about my own kids. Ms. Kellen is a ray of sunshine and takes such an interest in each child. My older child still talks about all the things she learned in pre-K with Ms. Bila, who is wonderful with the children. There are so many other teachers we've interacted with throughout the years- Bianca, Valenney, Ryan, Mary, Lynn, Patty, and more. Even if they aren't our main teachers, they know the children and seem excited to see them. And of course, the director Erin is wonderful.

Our daughters started up at First Circle Needham this past year and the transition has been great. Erin, Lisa, and the team there made enrollment seamless. Our oldest started in Pre-K and has recently transitioned to K-Prep. Miss Bila, Miss Elisa, and Miss Christina in Pre-K were very welcoming and communicative with us about how her start to the school was going. Our daughter came home with a smile (and tired, in a good way) right from day one. When she transitioned to K-Prep, the teachers coordinated to let our daughter visit in the days leaidng up to make the change easier. Miss Patricia and Miss Erica in K-Prep are fantastic teachers - we can tell that the kids all enjoy their time there. Our youngest is in Infant Three with Miss Darshelle and Miss Jill. At this age, the teachers truly are like a second set of parents and we were able to trust them right away. They have very nurturing and comforting personalities and our daughter loves them. Miss Brandy and Miss Marly and the rest of the Infant teachers help out as well which we appreciate This is a great school with a great community of kids and parents.

We are so happy to be a part of the First Circle family. Our soon- to-be-two year old started daycare earlier this year in the infant rooms where she was welcomed by teachers like the incredibly warm Paulina and Brandy, and where she first met Bianca, who became an instant fave of our whole family. She then transitioned to a toddler room with Sarah and Karina who couldn't have been sweeter. And she's now thriving in toddler 3 where she's greeted by the lovely Vallaina most mornings and where she's under the daily care and guidance of Bianca and Lynn, who we love as well! The whole staff seems to get to know and be truly invested in the full roster of students, and it's such a comfort to know how much fun is being had throughout the days our little one spends with her classmates and teachers "at school."

We are lucky to have found First Circle Learning Center and have loved our experience here with Daycare. As our children have grown, we’ve transitioned through classrooms seamlessly, thanks to the thoughtful approach of the staff. Each transition has been thoughtfully managed, consistently supporting our child’s development. From the toddler classrooms—thanks to Sarah, Karina, Neyla, Patty, and Lynn—to the preschool classroom with Mary and Laura, our child has truly flourished. He looks forward to going to school and comes home happy, engaged, and excited about the activities he participates in. While we still have a little one in an Infant Classroom, we would be remiss not to mention the quality of care he’s receiving from Jill and Darshelle. The communication from the teachers and administrators (Jamey, Erin and Lisa) have been outstanding. We always feel well-informed through regular updates, whether via email, notes, or personal conversations. This transparency has fostered a strong partnership between us and the staff. Overall, we are extremely happy with the quality of care and would highly recommend First Circle to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their children.

Having joined the First Circle community a few months ago, we are so happy and impressed with the care our son receives when he goes to daycare, and it is clear that he is learning and growing every day he is at First Circle. Teachers, Marly, Brandy, and Patty, are energetic, knowledgeable, and kind and provide a warm and safe environment for my son to thrive. We love receiving daily updates and photos in real time and appreciate the responsiveness of the teachers through the app. We can't recommend First Circle enough!
