Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues.

After 1.5 years we had to move to another school because the list of issues kept pilling up.
We absolutely LOVED our time at Little Newton’s. We spent three years there with 2 children attending. The only reason we left was we are moving and one of the hardest parts of moving was leaving this incredible daycare. My daughters learned so much and I feel like they are so well prepared for school. They loved their teachers and even would pretend to be their teachers while playing “school” at home. So I’d say they made a lasting impression. The building set up is great as it’s an old school building with classrooms and wonderful indoor and outdoor play spaces. The structure of the day is great. They do so many activities throughout the day and get the kids moving their bodies too. Really good variety in the days. If we ever had a concern (which was RARE) the teachers and directors were quick to address it. Very responsive. Little Newton’s felt like a second family for us and made dropping our off girls every day so easy knowing they were somewhere they were loved, cared for and learning/thriving. I cannot recommend Little Newton’s enough to anyone who asks. The teachers, aids, directors are all incredible people.
We are so happy with Little Newtons for our son! Thank you for your care and diligence! He told me just yesterday, “Mama, I love you and I love Miss Amanda!” So, his ‘teacher’ is right up there in the great loves of his life which makes us totally happy.
