Last weekend, my husband and I hosted a birthday party for our five year old and invited her entire class. Watching those kids together made something incredibly clear — the environment they’re growing up in here is truly exceptional. As working parents, the old idea of having a “village” often feels like it doesn’t exist anymore. But this school has become exactly that for our family. I can’t thank them enough for the love, care, and consistency they provide every single day. What happens here isn’t just a job or a business — it’s a family. One of the most magical things I’ve ever experienced as a parent, honestly. I feel so grateful that my children get to be a part of it. I can’t say enough about Pre-K Hollows Teacher Team. The way they run the classroom is next level — think a perfect mix of Mary Poppins, Santa, and a Harvard professor. They aren’t just teachers to us; they’re part of our village, part of our family, and truly our friends (whether they like it or not). The same goes for every teacher in the school, with our two-year-old following right behind our five year old. The owner was not kidding about her extensive hiring process — the payoff is phenomenal. You can feel the intention, care, and magic that this team creates every single day. As Kindergarten gets our first closer to moving on to school (cue the tears), I just wanted to share how deeply grateful we are. We feel so lucky to have had this experience, and I will never stop appreciating everything you’ve given our family.
Jamie SabellicoApr 21, 2026We had an incredible experience with Child’s University . From the moment we enrolled our daughter, we knew she was in the best hands. Jay and his team are truly exceptional—professional, caring, and deeply committed to creating a positive and nurturing environment for the children. The facility itself is absolutely beautiful—clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed for learning and play. It’s clear that a lot of care and attention goes into maintaining such a high standard. What stood out most to us was the level of communication and genuine care. We always felt informed and confident that our daughter was safe, happy, and learning every day. She built strong relationships with the staff and looked forward to going, which says everything. We can’t recommend Jay and his team enough. If you’re looking for a top-notch early learning center, this is it. Five stars all the way!
Edward SmithApr 17, 2026Our son participated in the summer camp program this year at ACU. It was a great experience for him he truly enjoyed going every day. He made new friends and his teachers and the director were super nice. The place is very well kept and very clean. we felt that our son was safe & being taken great care of. We recomand ACU.
CeciliaAug 21, 2025We have been with A Child’s University (Smithfield) since 2014. Both of my children graduated from here. All the teachers, the nurse (Anita) and the director (Lori) have been absolutely phenomenal. We have been extremely happy with the care, support, attention, and the various enrichment programs that our children received over the years. Our children also completed their accredited Kindergarten program, which prepared them emotionally, socially, and academically. We are now looking forward to our newborn going through the same wonderful experience. Thank you A Child’s University for loving and caring for our children.
Shaira KochubaevaJan 15, 2025Our son has attended ACU at Smithfield first as an infant and then as a young toddler. Unfortunately we had to move to another state recently so our amazing experience had to end. The director Lori and her team create a very welcoming and high quality environment both for the children and their families. Things we loved the most (not limited to): - ACU has very detailed and comprehensive policies that are fully in place. - Teacher to student ratio is higher than required by the state. - Lead teachers are very experienced. While they customize each child's growth plan and the curriculum for the class, they also help assistant teachers grow. - There is a very experienced in house nurse who makes sure children stay healthy, they are up to date with their immunization and the parents are educated. As new parents who work full time, ACU has been the biggest support for our family. They took such good care of our son and answered our every single question very patiently. We are very thankful that we got to experience the ACU culture. Now we know what a great pre-school education looks like and we do not settle for less.
Cigdem DuruNov 30, 2024We spent 12 years at this daycare between 3 kids. A Child’s University is very warm and welcoming with excellent care providers. I spent many years working in Boston knowing my babies were in excellent care. A bonus perk is they have an accredited Kindergarten program that 2 of my 3 kids completed, making them well prepared for their transition to public school. The staff is very professional and I highly recommend this daycare.
