  • We decided to enroll our son at Henry Frost following a glowing recommendation from a close friend whose child attended the original location. While we were initially drawn to the Concord location because the extended schedule fits our family’s needs so much better, the actual experience has been nothing short of outstanding. Coming in, we were naturally nervous. Our son didn’t speak or understand English yet and has several food allergies. However, the level of care and attention from the entire team - including Iris, the classroom leads, and the extended day teachers - has been incredible. Our little one has made rapid progress in both his language skills and social interactions, and he truly looks forward to going to school every morning. We are also deeply impressed by the curriculum, which is thoughtfully crafted to meet each child’s individual developmental stage. The extended day program is so much more than just 'after-care'; the variety of special activities provided each day makes those extra hours fun, unique, and genuinely enriching for the children. For families managing food allergies, I cannot recommend HF enough. The teachers are exceptionally vigilant and maintain proactive, constant communication with us. We feel completely safe leaving our child in their care, knowing his health and safety are a top priority. Having experienced four different daycares and preschools with our children over the years, we can say with certainty that Henry Frost is top-notch. A major standout is Iris’s passion and her in-depth knowledge of early childhood education. The high level of support she provides her staff is evident - the teachers genuinely enjoy working there, and that professional satisfaction translates directly into a stable, warm, and loving environment for the children. We are so grateful to have found this community and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a school that balances academic growth with deep, heartfelt care.

  • HFCP has been a wonderful experience for our daughter. She spent two years at the school and has grown significantly socially, emotionally and academically. She has become more confident in making her own choices, communicating her interests and in taking risks. I appreciated how the school’s approach was rooted in research, but was always accessible to parents. I could not recommend the school highly enough. Thank you Henry Frost!

  • Both our children attended Henry Frost for many years (we were there a total of 5 years) and I cannnot say enough about this amazing school. We started with my oldest daughter and felt like we had won the pre-k jackpot. The school’s philosophy around teaching and generally preparing kids for “big kid school” as well as adulthood is so good that we still implement strategies that they learned at Henry Frost in their life today. The teachers are caring, fun, and so incredibly creative. My son followed one year after my daughter graduated and we had the same top notch experience with him. He had completely different learning goals and the teachers customized his days and provided support that we felt went above and beyond. Henry Frost continues to hold such a special place in our hearts, we would HIGHLY recommend this school.

  • Henry Frost is a magical place and we are so grateful to have had both of our boys attend for the last four years. Their blended curriculum brings together the strengths of Montessori with imaginative play, child-led interests and a ton of outdoor time and nature focused activities. We particularly appreciated the focus on each individual child and their unique needs. All of the teachers have helped us learn so much about child development and become better parents along the way. It’s hard to put into words how special Henry Frost is. Simply put, I wish they had an elementary school so we could stay forever!

  • I cannot speak highly enough of our experience at HFCP. Our daughter went there for 2 years and absolutely adores school, her teachers and her friends. She has grown so much while there. Teacher Iris and her team are incredibly dedicated to their students’ development as learners and citizens of our community. The approach they take to early childhood education challenges kids to push beyond the typical limits that I’ve seen at other places - and it is amazing what they learn about, discuss and create at such a young age. As our daughter moves on to the next school, i will do everything I can to take what we learned at HFCP with us. She is going to miss that place with her whole heart. Thank you Teacher Iris and the whole team for what you give to our children every single day!

  • We chose Henry Frost based on their advertisements, which highlighted a team of highly educated and experienced staff, particularly skilled with active children. However, our experience quickly proved this advertisement to be misleading. After just one week of enrollment, we were unexpectedly forced to leave. This abrupt and unprofessional decision severely affected my child, causing significant emotional distress. We were notified of this decision at 7 AM on a Saturday morning via a cold, distant email. There was no attempt at a personal conversation or an explanation that considered the well-being of a child. We were not given any opportunity for a proper transition or for my child to say goodbye to their newly made friends, which compounded the emotional damage. To further demonstrate the lack of care, our child's belongings were unceremoniously dropped off at our front door late on Sunday night, after we had already gone to sleep. I am profoundly disappointed with the director of this daycare. Their leadership allowed for such an insensitive and unprofessional decision to be made. It is clear to me that this decision was made because my child did not fit into some 'perfect image' or expectation held by the daycare, rather than any genuine concern for their development or well-being. The promises of care and expertise that initially drew us to Henry Frost feel entirely fake, just like the pretense of compassion from the individuals managing this establishment. Shame on you for so carelessly dismissing a child's feelings and making decisions that prioritize an image over the welfare of the children you claim to serve.
