Just a few of the wonderful things our parents have to say about MCC...
Comments from the 2023-2024 Parent's Survey:
This is my first experience as a parent with a child in preschool. I heard great things about MCC before we started but even a few days in I knew it was the right choice. All of my daughter's teachers are truly wonderful and so are the rest of the teachers that she has made friends with as if she’s in their class 😂. She is welcomed and taken care of by everyone and that truly is the best feeling ever for a parent. Knowing that she’s going to have a great day every day because of the people at MCC just speaks volumes about the MCC community, values, and people that make MCC what it is. I’m so grateful to have my family be a part of this special place. Thank you so much for everything you all do!
My daughter loves her teachers and friends. Being kind is the most important thing to us and we can tell that’s enforced at MCC. We love the warmth and the relationship she has with teachers and friends
My daughter is always excited about what she learns. Hearing how much she loves all the teachers is heartwarming. She’s also had a chance to get to know kids in other classes which she likes.
The warm welcoming environment—everyone there seems like they really want to be there and the kids can see that
MCC goes beyond the basics of being a safe childcare and early education environment. It’s a warm and loving community dedicated to helping the kids have the best time while learning and growing.
The people and culture are what make any organization great, and MCC has that down. Knowing that it’s safe, clean, and full of caring and amazing teachers - the best feeling!
The ability to create a warm, comfortable, learning environment that really supports all children where they are and helps them grow socially, emotionally and academically.
My son is more comfortable and excited going to MCC every day than he was going to his previous school. He's made more friends and adores his teachers. He is more confident in his creativity/artwork, and he's doing such a great job learning letters, numbers, etc.
My child’s social/language skills have increased so much since startng in the toddler room in June. He is comfortable, confident, and I know he feels so so loved.
We feel beyond fortunate to be a part of the MCC family. Thank you for accepting us and for providing assistance through the years. The hardest part about going into public school is leaving our safe family at MCC :(
MCC has had an amazing positive influence on our daughter. We feel so lucky that she is able to attend MCC and so lucky that she has such incredible, kind and wonderful teachers. Beyond just benefitting her while she is there it has also allowed my husband and I to feel at ease knowing she is somewhere being so well taken care of. Last year she struggled in school and we struggled at home/work knowing she was feeling so much anxiety at school. This year we can see in how she acts when she gets home, what she reports to us and through conversations with her teachers that she is much happier and content while at school.
We are so pleased at everything that has been done for both of our girls. It is truly a family and we are so blessed to be a part of it. MCC is a very special community, I love walking in and out with both girls and teachers that are not theirs say hello to them by name, that is special. A wonderful, warm, safe environment

Comments from previous year's Parent's Surveys:
While I'm not an MCC family member anymore, I wanted to send over a note to just say how thankful I am for MCC. My son is in Kindergarten and doing so well. Because of your preparations, he's made some great new friends (while keeping the old!), adjusted easily to a new school and routine, and is loving reading "big kid" books! And it's all because of the hard work you put in during preschool to get him -- and others -- ready for Kindergarten. MCC prepared him so well for this year. Everything from the morning routine (finding your address or last name), to getting themselves dressed (hello snow days!), to greeting people (hello XX, goodbye XX), and everything in between -- THANK YOU!
We couldn't be prouder to have our boys be graduates of MCC -- there's really no other preschool out there like it So thank you again and again for all the hard work you put in to get these kids ready for the next step - you set the bar really high!
We can't say enough good things about MCC! The staff is more caring and supportive than we could have hoped for and the curriculum offers the perfect balance of social emotional and academic development. Not only did our children grow, they thrived due to the love and education they were given. When you walk into MCC, you can feel the sense of community. Sending our kids to MCC has been one of the best parenting decisions that we have made!

I continue to be so impressed with MCC. All of the staff members go above and beyond. Their projects and activities are so creative and fun for them! I also think that all the families are so nice and caring as well! Everyone I have met so far has been great!
-Annual Parent Survey taken February 2019
MCC is very personal and involved with the entire family. The teachers invested so much time getting to know my child.
- Annual Parent Survey taken February 2019
Robin and all of the teachers are much more engaged and have better communication with families than my previous center. Educational and social activities at MCC are much more creative / diverse / enriching. Much more emphasis on books and reading.
- Annual Parent Survey taken February 2019
You are all our family and we deeply love MCC and all this experience gives to our kids and our entire family. The sense of community at MCC is a special lifelong lesson for us all. You're helping us raise good people!
-Annual Parent Survey taken February 2019
We feel so lucky to have found a home away from home at MCC. Robin and all of the teachers amaze us every day with how much care and attention they give to each child, tailored specifically to that child's needs and development. We are greeted warmly every morning with questions about things that my children did the day before or over the weekend (I can't believe the teachers remember all of this!). There is constant communication and coordination with home, and my kids are excited to come home and share all of the things that they learned at school MCC has exceeded our expectations for a nurturing and enriching environment. We will be sad to say goodbye when we must move on to kindergarten.

I wanted to let you know how much you and your staff at Medfield Children's Center meant to our family. We feel so grateful that Benjamin and Christopher spent the last 5 years with so many special individuals at MCC. We did not look at MCC as a place to drop our boys off until we got back from work. We felt like your place was an extension of our home. All of you became such a big part of their lives. Every photo each day chronicled their growth from infants to energetic 5 year olds. Not to mention made the start of our day so much easier to deal with. Your staff truly helped shape the foundation for their future and did such a great job getting them ready for the next step in their education. Your kids helped raise our kids. Nicholas felt at home as well when he had the chance to slip in. As Ben and Chris move on, I am sure they will always cherish the fond memories MCC created for them. We will always be thankful for the hard work you all put in to help our boys grow and get ready for their early education. Hope to see you and your husband at James from time to time. If we can ever help you, please reach out. You are like family to the Galdos.

This brought tears to my eyes this morning with the realization that we only have a month and a half left at MCC. I’m already missing you guys!! You’ve all been so caring and nurturing, and have made Mikey’s long hours there a second home, and my long hours working easier to manage. I wouldn’t have made it through all the ups and downs over the years without you and the comfort and guidance you’ve given our family. He’s the delicious, sweet, smart boy that he is because of MCC. 💕

We are so happy that we chose MCC for our daughter. The teachers truly care deeply about these kids, and it's amazing to see the community that has been formed around this school. It's apparent at special events like story night and cookie swaps, but also in the everyday, little things, like daily updates and morning drop-offs. Since at MCC our daughter has grown amazingly. She started as a young toddler and is now becoming a confident and curious girl who is truly excited about learning. As educators, we truly believe in the teaching philosophy of MCC that values love of learning, mutual respect, and community-building. We owe that to MCC, and we recommend it without any reservations whatsoever!
- Ted Andrews
We LOVE MCC and feel lucky to have found such a special, caring environment for both our boys. In the fast paced elementary world with all of its demands on children I love that MCC takes a more nurturing approach. I love that social / emotional development continues to be a priority! You guys are the best!
Our child has grown socially, emotionally and academically. You have instilled a love of learning and we are forever grateful.
MCC sees the "whole" child and finds ways to encourage growth academically, socially and emotionally.
It is the teachers! I love that I can have a quick informal conversation at drop off / pick up. I love how they share stories about my child's day. I especially love that my child feels so comfortable and connected to them.
Family comes to mind. MCC is a family - oriented place.
I just wanted to let you guys know how much we appreciate how much you guys do to make MCC such an outstanding, safe, accepting and awesome learning environment for Jacob. Thank you for being such awesome teachers and role models for him!!
- Jason Heim, Teacher - Blake Middle School, Medfield, MA
...I don't get the chance to say it in person often enough but I am so incredibly greatful to you for all you have done for our boys and our family. I will forever sing the praises of MCC to anyone and everyone looking for a place for their kiddos to be well cared for. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
- Tom Corbin
You have always made me and my kids feel special and valued, and most of all, safe at MCC and I have had such peace of mind with them under your roof. Your amazing staff are a gift and I feel so lucky to have found you, keep up the good work!
- Kirsten Baima
We feel blessed to have Olive at a school where without hesitation boo boos are kissed, hugs and cuddles provide comfort, safety is a priority and love is felt.
- Kerry Cowell
We moved from out of state and we were so lucky to find MCC for our 4 year old. All the teachers went above and beyond to make sure Hannah felt welcome and helped greatly to ensure she was adjusting well to all the change. She had so much fun while learning a lot!
Thanks,
-Nicole Crocker
MCC has been a home away from home for our son. The whole team has been wonderful. I am completely confident that your child will love their time at MCC.
- Pastor Jonathan Chechile
He has grown so much over the last two years at MCC, but the change that we have seen since September has been remarkable. He looks forward to going to school each and every day and has not only developed some great learning skills, but has also matured and been given the opportunity to experience so many of the fascinating things that kids need to be part of. You have an unbelievable staff at MCC and I am impressed with each and every one of them.
The day that we walked in and met with you two years ago when we were determining the best place to send J., I just knew that MCC was the place for him. Thank you so much for surrounding him with such an unbelievable environment that has proved my instinct correct and done more for him than I could have ever imagined.
I want you to know as an educator how impressed I am and so thankful and grateful that MCC is a place that our family considers home!!!!
- Jon Dunn
The staff at MCC have gone above and beyond to provide my child with a caring, loving, and nurturing environment. Each year he has grown in countless ways. We could not have asked for a better experience for our son.
- Stef Elrick
We will miss MCC sooooo much! It has been such a warm and wonderful place for Dan. We couldn’t have picked a better pre-school for him. So, just wanted to say how much we appreciate the wonderful place that you’ve created. We will miss you guys a lot!!
- Louise Lawson
The graduation last week was a wonderful ceremony; but like all graduations, it is a bittersweet event. We'll will miss our daily emails regarding what the kids are up to, as well as the monthly newsletter regarding upcoming events. But as we leave, we know that both of our children were well cared for in a warm, safe, and nurturing environment. We will be sure to stay in touch with regards to the kids' progress, and may even drop in for a visit. Please know that we are grateful to the entire staff of the MCC for their part in teaching and caring for our children.
- Jim Brackett
I don't think I've said this to you in person, but just so you know - as a father who travels a lot for work, I absolutely love getting these pictures of my little one interacting during the day. It brightens my day to see her face. I realize this takes some additional work on your part, but I hope you continue to do it. I get hundreds of emails a day for work, many of them noise...but no matter where I am I always open these ones from MCC. Thanks and keep it up!
- Tim Fessenden
We have had nothing but wonderful experiences with the school and staff. Over the past 7 years, MCC has been able to provide our children with the perfect balance of structure, opportunities for socialization, and creative expression. I appreciate that MCC continues to evolve to meet the needs of its families--for example, the recent resurfacing of the outdoor play area.
- Jen D.
Thank you so much! From the bottom of my heart the last three years wouldn't have gone so well without you and all your staff at MCC. I am getting very heart sick with the thought of leaving MCC, as much as I am excited for Cullen to go to Kindergarten it will be hard for me and Cullen to say good-bye to you all in August. I can't say enough how wonderful all your staff is, every teacher Cullen has had has been great and he has gained something from each of them. He has grown so much thanks to you all. I also needed the pep talks from the staff as well! Both Cullen and I have gained so much for MCC and that is really all thanks to you.
- Kara Gobbi
...and what do our kids say about MCC...
"I love school. When is weekend over?"
"Why are you here to pick me up so early?, No I don’t want to go home!"
