I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I have been sending my son to Rainbow, Bridgewater for an year now. I love the warmth of the teachers and the Director.
Each teacher knows about each kid in the daycare and they attend to their needs all through the day.
The plus is I dont have to worry about packing lunch for the day because they provide the meals which are balanced and fresh.
I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
