Thumbs up Great Nursery School in Newton Highlands

To all parents moving to the Newton area.

There is a wonderful preschool in Newton Highlands called Golden Days. The director is Janice Golden and is absolutely wonderful. They have an opening starting in December for a preschooler.

Golden Days Children's Center Home

It's really an outstanding school: all the teachers have higher degrees of education, the location is really good and facilities are great (they even have a gym for the cold or rainy days to run out some energy), the communication is very open and frequent (emails and letters and photos every week!).

So if you're looking to move to Newton with your little one, this is the place I would recommend.

Note: I'm not in any way affiliated with the school but we are leaving the area and the spot for our son is freeing up. I just wish that I could take the school with us!!

we also were using this daycare ( golden days ) because it looked attractive and clean but unfortunately our experience was completely different than yours. we found the director, janice golden, very difficult to work with and always felt dictated to rather part of a collaborative team. she can be "very" condescending at times.

also, most of the kids are on the half day program and not a full day program. there was no communication setup between the morning and afternoon crew. some of teachers seemed burnt out. professional days are more frequent than any other daycares in this area.
