Wonderful and professional staff, with shout-outs especially to Matt, whose positive energy and enthusiasm have always brightened our kids’ days; Carla, whose inflappability and compassion are a balm for anyone going through the storms of toddlerhood; Dennis, who’s been extremely generous with his time and expertise; Janet’s wonderful storytelling; Gabbi, has taken amazing care of our children in both the infant and toddler stages; Jessy and Jasmine, who always went above and beyond, whether it was in looking out for parent mental health, taking the time to write the cutest journals, putting extra care into fun activities for the babies, and many more.

Our son has had a wonderful time in Toddler 2 classroom. Ms. Manoosh and Ms. Kaitie are warm, kind and patient, and are excellent educators. He is excited to go to school every day and enjoys all the activities that they do, from going outside to arts and crafts to baby yoga. Overall, we have had a great experience at First Circle!

We absolutely love First Circle! For almost 3 years, they have provided a warm, nurturing, educationally and socially rich environment where our children have really thrived since infancy. Shout our to the incredible infant team---Jessy, Jasmine, Amber, Colleen, Leah, and Vida---thank you for loving both of my children in their infancy, guiding them gently through important milestones like eating, transitions from bottles / milk, and walking. My youngest is currently in an infant classroom and comes home saying words taught to him by his infant teachers! Big hugs to the toddler team----Manoosh , Kaitie, Adele, and Sam---for loving my oldest through his infant to toddler transition and keeping him so engaged. My kiddo had so much fun in the toddler program! It was Adele's advice to get shoes with harder soles that helped our reluctant walker take his first confident steps. Kaitie's yoga sessions are teaching our kiddo how to breathe and ground himself, a skill he is encouraging his younger brother to practice as well. Finally, sending lots of love to the dynamic duo of Preschool 1, Debbie and Rose! ... We have never had any doubts that our kiddos are safe, loved, and well-cared for at First Circle! We feel so very lucky to have crossed paths with First Circle and all of the wonderful people who work there.

Jessy and Jasmine, you made my return to work after maternity leave such a smooth and reassuring experience. Every step of the way, your extensive knowledge and constant support gave me such peace of mind. Vida, Leah, Colleen, and Amber, you continued that incredible support and love for him—so much so that he still has to stop and say good morning to each of you before heading off to Toddler One. Thank you all for the care, kindness, and love you show every day!

Huge thanks to the incredible team at First Circle for taking care of my son! Adele, Melanie, Matt and Sam are truly rock stars!

We absolutely love First Circle! We've been with them about 2 years with our first, and with our second child on the way it was an easy choice to sign them up too! They are super communicative with daily photos, activities, and messaging as needed. They do lots of outdoor play whenever the weather allows. There are so many cute crafts that come home or decorate their classrooms. They also have great coverage so even with sicknesses or slight weather issues, or holiday times, the kids can still come into daycare. Also a bonus that they allow early intervention to come into the classroom if needed during the daytime, and together with them we felt our child was very supported in making her milestones. We've loved all the teachers, but in particular our child has loved Vida, Melanie, Clay, Adele and Leah. Can't wait to see what growth the next year brings! And what our next child loves the most at First Circle!

First Circle Learning Center at Lexington has served as well for almost 4 years now. My son is now in pre-k class and enjoys going there every day. Shout out to Jeremy and Ben—excellent pre-k teachers! Every day I know my kid is loved, seen, and safe.
Vitalija E.
First Circle in Lexington has been wonderful for our family. My child has grown so much since starting here from infant program all the way to preschool. The teachers have been incredibly patient, loving, and attentive to my child's needs. It's been amazing to see her confidence and sense of belonging grow. We are very grateful to the First Circle team for the care they provide every day. Huge shout-out to Ms Debbie, Rose, Vida, Adele, Kaitie, Amber, Gabbi, Mariana, Colleen, Rosa, Lila, Manoosh , and Mr Dennis, Matt and Sam, for their dedication and care!
Mengnan Z.
Our family has been at First Circle for 7 years and we couldn't be happier. Mr. Ben and Mr. Jeremy, along with all the other teachers our kids have had, are fantastic!
Mark S.
We absolutely love First Circle! Our son joined the Infant One program and the experience could not have been better! Jasmine and Jessy are the kindest people who’ll go above and beyond to take care of the babies in their care. We always knew our son was safe and well taken care of. Now that he’s graduated to Infant Two, Vida and Leah are teaching him so much and it’s amazing to see how much he’s grown in his time with them. We’ve had the greatest experience with First Circle and the teachers are 1,000% the reason. Can’t recommend First Circle highly enough!
Bryce S.
My baby has been at First Circle Lexington for 6 months now, and we absolutely love it. He is so well taken care of, learns so much and absolutely loves it there. The infant teacher team—Jasmine, Jessy, Vida and Leah are literal angels on earth who love babies so much and it shows. I would recommend First Circle to anyone looking for a safe, loving environment for their baby to grow in.
Kara M.
First Circle is a truly special place. We've been a part of this community for almost four years with two children. Both of my children have food allergies and they are very allergen aware and have safe protocols. All of the teachers have helped my children thrive, but we have a special place in our hearts for Vida, Leah, Melanie, Adele, Kaitie, Manoosh , Debbie, Carla, Dennis, Janet, Ben, Jeremy, and Matt. ❤️❤️❤️
Kelsey N.
We have had such a wonderful experience at First Circle in Lexington. Our daughter has grown and learned so much from her amazing teachers and the environment they create. I want to call out Carla, Dennis, Janet, and Debbie all of whom have made such a positive impact on our daughter. These teachers have helped us so much throughout the years and our daughter is thriving. She is outgoing, confident and smart and we have First Circle to thank for playing such a big part in her development!
Danielle L.
Big shout out to infant crew at First Circle—Jasmine, Jessy, Amber, Colleen, Vida and Leah for taking great care of my daughter!! There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your little one being happy and thrive every day at a daycare you trust. Highly recommend!!
Hilary Z.
We love first circle! We switched to this day care after not loving our first and have been so happy. They are always busy with fun, engaging activities and our daughter has learned so much since switching coming to daycare here. They spend tons of time outside playing and having fun. The difference at first circle has been that it’s obvious how much genuine care and affection the teachers have for each student. We cannot thank all of our teachers enough—Adele, Matt, Sam, Melanie and the rest of the team have all been wonderful!
Courtney M.
My son Alfred is enjoying his days in the pre-k class. He keeps surprising us with new skills and stronger mind. Shout outs to Jeremy and Matt.
Chen Y.
Our two sons (3.5 and 1 year old) are currently enrolled at First Circle and we are so incredibly grateful to the amazing staff that nurture our babies. First Circle truly feels like home. Our youngest loves Vida and Leah (infant 2 teachers) and wiggles with excitement at drop-off. Our preschool teachers Dennis, Carla, and Janet are true gems--our kiddo constantly surprises us at home with everything he learns at school. We will be forever grateful to the Center and the amazing, loving and kind teachers! Special shoutout to the other amazing teachers they've had at different stages (Sam, Matt, Debbie, Rose, Adele, Gabbi, Clay, Kaitie, Colleen, Jessy, Jasmine & Rosa)
Andrea B.
Ethan has had the most wonderful experience in pre-k thanks to Mr. Ben and Mr. Jeremy. From day one, they created a warm, supportive, and engaging classroom where Ethan felt safe, valued, and excited to learn. Their patience, kindness, and genuine care for each child truly stand out. Mr. Ben and Mr. Jeremy strike the perfect balance between structure and fun, making learning enjoyable while also helping the children grow socially and emotionally. Ethan has gained so much confidence, independence, and enthusiasm for school, and it’s a direct reflection of their dedication and passion for teaching. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on Ethan during such an important stage of his development. They are outstanding educators and role models, and any child would be lucky to have them as teachers.
Christian L.
We have been at First Circles for 7 years now and have been incredibly impressed with the socio-emotional as well as academic education our sons have received. Mr. Jeremy and Mr. Ben in PreK have prepared both my sons to excel in kindergarten through teaching kindness and independence. The biggest appeals to us are the large outdoor space, no long shutdowns throughout the year, and teacher longevity - our younger son has had nearly all of the same teachers as our older 3 years earlier. We cannot recommend First Circle in Lexington enough!
Joyce-Marie S.
First Circle is the best! Our daughter has been in the infant program for five months and we absolutely love it. The teachers take extraordinary care of the little ones, with so much love, learning, and silly fun throughout the day. They’ve also been providing wonderful advice to a couple of first time parents on feeding, snots, and everything in between. Big shoutout to Jessy, Jasmine, Amber, Colleen, Vida, and Leah in the infant program!
Yilin F.
Daycare as a working family is SO important, so when our previous school needed to close for certain days post-covid, we were in a panic. Stephanie worked her magic and was able to get both of my boys into their pre-school and toddler classes at the time. We are now in our 4th year and the staff feels like family. Carla has taught my youngest in both toddlers and preschool and is so creative and loving, creating such a safe space for the kids! Jeremy and Ben in pre-k have done an excellent job preparing my boys for kindergarten. It is such a reliable and loving school; we could not be more thankful to have them as extended family!
Lauren T.
Our baby loves First Circle! She’s so happy and so excited to go there everyday. Thanks to the wonderful infant teachers Ms. Vida, Leah, Jessy, Jasmine, Colleen and Amber!
Nat M.
We have been enrolled at First Circle for over 3 years with 2 children and have gone through almost every classroom. My children truly love going to school everyday and it's great as a parent to know your children are cared for by loving teachers. Shout out to all the classroom teachers my kids have had (Jessy, Jasmine, Adele, Melanie, Gabbi, Sara, Debbie, Matt, Ben, and Jeremy) and all the teachers they haven't that still go out of their way to make my children feel special (Vida, Colleen, Sam, Rosa, Kaitie, Manoosh , Carla, Dennis, and Clay). They say it takes a village, and I'm so thankful to have this one.
Amber S.
We are so grateful to have First Circle as our daughter’s daycare. From day one, the environment has been warm, nurturing, and well organized, giving us great peace of mind as parents. Ms. Jasmine, Jessy, Vida, and Leah are truly wonderful. They show genuine care, patience, and attention to each child, and it’s clear how much they care about the children’s growth and happiness. Our daughter is always happy when she arrives and content when she comes home, which means everything to us. Thank you to the entire First Circle team for creating such a loving and supportive place for our daughter. We highly recommend it.
Chelsea L.
We could not be happier with our experience at First Circle. From the moment we walked in for our initial tour, we felt a sense of warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for the children. Choosing childcare is a huge decision, and we are so grateful we found this amazing team. Every single staff member is warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about early childhood education. They treat our child with love and patience. Our child is always excited to go to school and comes home happy every day. The curriculum is fantastic, with thoughtful, hands-on activities that keep them learning and growing socially, emotionally, and academically. We love seeing all the creative art projects they bring home! Special thanks to Ms. Vida, Leah, Adele, Melanie, Gabbi, and Sara.
Ellen F.
Our daughter has been going to First Circle Lexington since she was just 4 months old; she is now 14 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Jasmine and Jessy welcomed her with open arms, and cared for her as if she was their own. She then moved to Vida and Leah who have helped her learn and grow (and move!), and she’s now with Adele and Melanie who are helping her learn independence and life skills. We couldn’t be more fortunate - highly recommend First Circle!
Mary G.
I’m so happy I decided to send my daughter to First Circle. The Infant 1 team, Jessy and Jasmine, are absolutely amazing. I appreciate the updates and photos they provide throughout the day.

We have had such a great experience with First Circle since our first child started in 2022. The teachers and admins are so caring and attentive, providing a safe and educational environment all while forming a strong and positive bond with our children. Our oldest in the preschool program loves his teachers Alizé, Becca, Michael, Debbie, and Diana. They are so fun and warm and make even the hardest days a little easier. The toddler teachers Tammy, Danielle, Kaitlyn, and Josh are also amazing and show such love for the kids. It warms my heart to see the connection our youngest son has with them. I will continue to recommend First Circle to anyone in the area in need of childcare or preschool!
Kelley S.
We love First Circle. We have two children enrolled and have never had a bad experience with any of the teachers or administrators. I feel confident that my children are cared for and I love that they mix in activities like yoga and music class. Ms. Becca and Mr. Mike are so compassionate. I know that even if my son is having a bad day, they can provide him the comfort he needs to turn it around! He also loves seeing Ms. Alizé and story time with Ms. Debbie! The teamwork in the preschool rooms is nice. Our pre-schooler didn’t enter daycare until he was a toddler, so our daughter brought our first experiences with the infant rooms. We’ve loved all the teachers (Ms. Jackie, Ms. Margo, Ms. Kristen, Ms. Rachel, and Ms. Kaitlyn) and so has she. We absolutely love getting our “report cards” on the kids and our day-to-day updates at pickup time. One thing that I especially love about the school is that everyone takes an interest in your child – not just their teachers. Ms. Tina, Ms. Jamie, Ms. Tammy, Ms. Diana, Mr. Josh, and Ms. Stephanie never miss a chance to say hi to my son if we bump into them in the halls. I love that have a vested interest in how he’s doing even if he’s not in their class.
Jennifer G.
We love First Circle! They go above and beyond! Jackie and Margo are incredible, my daughter is always so excited to see them
Katie M.
We have had a great experience at First Circle and want to recognize Mr. Marcel, Ms. Alizé, Ms. Rachel and Ms. Becca who our children are always talking about!
Kate J.
Ms. Becca and Mr. Michael have been incredible care givers to our daughter. This place has been fantastic to help our 2 year old grow!
Ian B.
We have had an exceptional experience with this daycare! Our daughter and son both attend. From the very beginning, the staff have been consistently kind, caring, and wonderful with our children! It gives us great piece of mind knowing are children are cared for and happy attending First Circle ! Ms. Alizé, Ms. Becca, Ms. Debbie, Ms. Kristen, and Ms. Kaitlyn have been amazing teachers! Along with all the teachers who have worked with our children the past few years!
Christine L.
Danielle, Jamie, Tammy, and Tina are great! Our daughter loves going to daycare here and always leaves happy.
Tim B.
We love First Circle! Ms. Becca is so kind and provides such a warm and nurturing experience in the preschool class! They keep them busy with lots of activities including weekly music class and yoga. Our daughter is always happy going off to school and has grown a lot of confidence and self help skills these last few months.
Julia D.
We are so happy with the daycare from the day we toured the facility. Megan showed us around and was able to greet every kid we run into during the tour by their name. The caring and intimate vibe was abundantly clear. They also have really extensive and well design curriculum even from infancy. My baby has been under the care of Jackie, Margo and Kaitlyn in the infant classroom since he was six months old, and the experiences as parents have been superb. From the way he smiles in his photos (there are a lot from the teachers), we can tell the experience of my child has been great too I particularly appreciate their sharing of daily educational activities and they also give instructions on how to continue the education at home. The teachers even made a scrap book to document my baby's progress which will follow him as he transitions to other classrooms. The director Keri is also responsible and responsive to our requests and questions. Overall I would recommend this daycare to parents in the neighbourhood and would enroll any future children there without hesitation.
Sherry G.
This place is actually pretty amazing. We have been bringing our daughter here since her first year in the Infant 2 classroom, and it did not take long for her to absolutely love it. When she graduated to toddler 1 we had the privilege to meet with the new teachers, Miss Tammy and Miss Danielle, and truly we could not be happier! Our daughter is always so happy to hear when we get to leave for school... And it's pickup thats the hard part! Their playground is pretty top notch and I love hearing about their plentiful outdoor adventures. You go First Circle Framingham, keep up the great work!
Jayme G.
We love First Circle Framingham! From the very first day we toured, everyone was kind, informative and welcoming and we knew our daughter would thrive here. Keri and Megan made the enrollment process easy and seamless and are always quick to answer any questions we have. Each teacher we’ve met along the way has been incredibly nice. Although we are no longer in the infant rooms, Rachel, Kristen, Margo and Jackie give us a warm hello each morning when we arrive, putting a smile on my little one’s face. We are currently in toddler 1 and Tammy, Danielle and Kaitlyn have made our transition fun, easy, and it’s incredible to see the growth that they promote and support in the classroom. Sometimes my daughter cries when she leaves because she’s having so much fun! I would recommend this facility to any family looking for childcare!
Lisa G.
We love First Circle. Can’t say enough good things about Tammy and Danielle in toddler 1. They are so relaxed but attentive, it struck the perfect atmosphere for us. So caring and loving and fun. I can relax knowing my daughter is in their care. Highly recommend this day care
Edgar R.
I am so glad I picked First Circle Learning Center for my little one. We started in March this year and it has been an incredible journey, and we are very happy and thankful for the love and care. Special shout out to Ms. Becca, Ms. Alizé, Ms. Debbie and Mr. Mike and also to all the incredible care givers. Grateful for the safe and happy environment!
Shikshya R.
We love First Circle! It’s such a blessing to be able to find childcare from educators who are so passionate, loving, and trustworthy. Special thanks to Ms. Jackie and Ms. Margo—they’re so patient, caring, and will really work with families to ensure they’re providing the best for your baby. Ms. Becca organizes a truly engaging day of fun activities and Ms. Alizé is always a warm and comforting presence.
Madeline H.
We love First Circle so much! From infant now to toddler our child truly enjoys his time there. Thank you Danielle and Tammy for the joy & care you bring everyday to not only our child but every child that comes through the door!!
Stephanie B.
Our son has been at First Circle since he was 7 months old and now he is in Pre-K. We love the community the school fosters and the dedicated teachers and support staff that create a safe and engaging environment for children to grow, explore and thrive. Every member of the First Circle family plays an integral part in the development and care of the children that go there, and are invested in the students regardless of which class he or she is in. Thank you to Ms. Keri, Ms. Megan, Ms. Janice, Ms. Kaitlyn, Ms. Tammy, Ms. Rosalie, Ms. Jamie, Ms. Becca, Ms. Debbie, Ms. Diana, Ms. Alizé, Mr. Josh, Mr. Marcel, Mr. Mike, Ms. Rachel (infants), Ms. Rachel (Pre-k), and Ms. Stephanie.
Jordana F.
We cannot say enough wonderful things about First Circle. Both of our daughters are currently enrolled, and we’ve seen firsthand how the school truly lives up to its motto: ‘Ready for Learning, Ready for Life.’ Our oldest daughter has essentially grown up here, transitioning beautifully from the infant rooms through to the toddler classes. We owe so much of her growth and confidence to the incredible educators who guided her. A huge thank you to Ms. Rachel and Ms. Kristen for the amazing foundation they provided in the infant rooms, and to Ms. Jamie, Ms. Tina, Ms. Tammy, and Ms. Danielle for helping her flourish into a curious, independent toddler. Now, our second daughter is just beginning her own journey at First Circle. We are so happy that she is starting out in the infant program with Ms. Jackie and Ms. Margo. Having been through these classes before, we have total peace of mind knowing she is in such loving and capable hands. The teachers here truly treat the children like family. If you are looking for a center that balances a professional curriculum with a warm, nurturing environment, we cannot recommend First Circle highly enough!"
Paul W.
We feel so lucky to have found FCLC! Our son started in the infant one classroom and with Ms. Jackie and Ms. Margo and they were so patient with him even when he was having a rough patch with taking bottles! He is now in infant two with Ms. Kristen, Ms. Rachel and Ms. Kaitlyn where he continues to have a blast every day. We love the updates we get and the artwork that comes home with him!
Olivia C.
Our experience with First Circle has been extremely positive. We have two children at First Circle and have been going there for four years. We have always appreciated the sense of family that we have and how much ALL of the staff cares about us and our children. The teachers are very tuned into their class, but everyone is well-versed in each particular kiddo and their needs. All of the staff is exceptional, but Ms. Becca, Ms. Alizé, Mr. Marcel, Mr. Mike, Ms. Rachel, and Mr. Josh are wonderful.

The teachers and staff at First Circle are incredible! Our daughter is in class right now with Ms. Jackie, Ms. Kelli, and Ms. Julie, and they are all phenomenal. They do a wonderful job of keeping us informed throughout the day and clearly put a lot of care and creativity into their curriculums. And, most importantly, our daughter LOVES them. Thanks, FCLC team!
Tessa N.
First circle has been great for our daughter. All of that positive experience rests squarely on the shoulders of the exceptional folks who we’ve been lucky enough to have care for her. Ms. Jackie, Ms. Kelli, and Ms. Julie in the infant 1 and 2 rooms have been wonderful to our child.
Daniel M.
We are so grateful to be part of the First Circle community. Our daughter has been surrounded by such an incredible group of educators, including Ms. Jordan, Ms. Julie, Ms. Tamar, Ms. Deajshia, Ms. Ray, Ms. Heather, Ms. Jackie, Ms. Nicole, Ms. Keri, Ms. Claudia—and we are especially happy to have Ms. Kerri back! Each of these teachers brings warmth, patience, and genuine care to everything they do. It’s amazing to see how their teamwork and dedication create such a positive, nurturing environment where children truly thrive. We feel incredibly lucky to have such an outstanding team supporting our daughter’s growth and happiness.
Joy C.
We have been at first circle for almost two years! Our family has had the best experience! Ms. Jackie was wonderful and made us feel welcome when my daughter started in the infant room. Now in the toddler room Ms. Z, Ms. Jordan, Ms. Tamar and Ms. Julie make everyday fun and exciting!
Alyssa M.
My grandkids love going to school I love all the teachers they are very caring to my grandkids😃❤️ I thank all the teachers for being nice to all of my family.
Debbie M.
We love the teachers at First Circle! Our son is currently in Ms. Ray’s preschool class and every day he has a blast. He has been at First Circle for 3 years and he has loved all his teachers including Ms. Jackie, Ms. Jordan, Ms. Julie, Ms. Heather and Ms. Deajshia!
Matthew T.
Ms. Z is absolutely amazing! She helped the transition of our first year be so simple! The app with updates is always so cute to see what they are up to during the day! Teachers here truly help you feel at ease with leaving you pride and joy in someone else’s care!
Krystal S.
Ms. Jackie is absolutely wonderful! She is always so kind, patient, and loving with the babies. The pictures and updates she sends through the communication app truly make my day and give me so much peace of mind. My daughter absolutely loves her, and it’s clear how much Ms. Jackie cares about each child. She is truly the best infant teacher we could ask for!
Nicole F.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at First Circle in Stoughton. Jackie, Julie, Kelli, and Tatiana are absolutely wonderful with our 9-month-old. They do such a great job keeping him engaged with activities and crafts, and it’s clear how much care and thought they put into each day. He truly loves going there, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!
Jeff B.
This was my daughter's first time away from home and her toddler 2 classroom teachers Ms. Tamar and Ms. Julie welcomed her with open arms. I noticed her growth within a few weeks. They were awesome with her. Now she's in preschool 1 and Ms. Deajshia is doing a lot of educational things with her. She's learning so much and she's always ready to learn. I'm so proud of her. I can't thank the teachers enough for all their hard work. First Circle Learning Center in Stoughton has amazing staff.
Betty D.
We are so grateful for the experience our daughter has had at First Circle, beginning as an infant and now as she transitions to the preschool. Ms. Tamar and Ms. Julie Julie been incredible with her, greeting us with big hugs every morning and showing our family so much love and care each day. They always create fun and exciting activities for the kids and their passion for working with children truly shines through.
Lauren W.
We love First Circle Stoughton! We have been sending our son there since he was 6 months old in 2023 and now our infant daughter goes as well. Ms. Jackie is a superstar. We could not love her more and trust her implicitly. Ms. Tatiana is also a wonderful teacher. We are so grateful for how well they care for our infant. Our son is now in the preschool and Ms. Ray is phenomenal. Our son has learned so much from her and her creativity, caring and attention to detail is unmatched. She is truly a wonderful educator. Having been with First circle so long we also can’t help but mention other teachers who have had a wonderful impact on our children: Ms. Julie, Ms. Jordan, Ms. Deajshia and Ms. Tamar to name a few!
Sarah S.
We love First Circle! We have sent our two children there since our first was a baby, and we have had such a positive experience because of the amazing staff. Our son is in Ms. Ray preschool class and loves it. She is a fantastic educator and puts so much care into running her classroom. He sometimes gets to hang with Ms. Nicole and is excited to be in her class next for pre-K. Our son has been at first circle since infancy and has had great teachers the whole time including many who are still there (Deajshia, Tamar, Keri, Julie, Jordan, Heather, and Kerri). Our daughter is currently in the infant classroom with Ms. Jackie, Ms. Julie, Ms. Kelli, Ms. Tatiana, Ms. Claudia and Ms. Joanne. They are such a great team. Ms. Jackie has taken care of both of our kids as babies and makes you feel so comfortable leaving your infant in her care. Thank you to all the amazing staff for the work you do to give our kids a safe and loving environment to learn and play!
Rob M.
We started at first circle with our 6 mo old a month ago and so far so good! Ms. Jackie and Tatiana are great with our son. I feel very comfortable with him in their care.
Emily M.
We have been attending First Circle in Stoughton for almost 2 years now and absolutely love it for our son! We started in the infant room and saw our son form a great bond with Ms. Jackie, who is so wonderful with the infants. It’s great still seeing her in the halls now that we’ve graduated to the toddler rooms. Our son needed some extra care and comfort as he transitioned to the toddler room and we’re thrilled to say the entire staff has been more than helpful and accommodating. Ms. Jordan, Ms. Zulma, Ms. Chrystal and Ms. Claudia consistently welcome us in the morning and have been so great in starting the day on a good note. We have to give an extra special shout-out to Ms. Julie, Ms. Tamar and Ms. Keri in the toddler 3 room who make our sons time at First Circle a blast every single day! They truly show such special attention and care to the little ones and we know our son is safe, having fun and learning in a center focused on providing the best experience for families. Highly recommend!
Elizabeth D.
Highly recommend First Circle Learning Center. We are very lucky to have such a caring, attentive staff helping our son grow and learn. Our son entered the program very young, we struggled with the decision and were met with such kindness from Ms. Jackie in the infant room and really helped for us during our own transition. The caring, attentive staff through the toddler rooms has given our son confidence and true interest in learning. We appreciate all of the hard work that Ms. Jordan, Ms. Zulma, Ms. Chrystal, Ms. Claudia, and Ms. Julie, Ms. Tamar and Ms. Keri has put into our son’s growth.
Thomas D.CEO
Our son has been attending for about a year, and we are so happy we chose First Circle! We've interacted the most with Ms. Jackie, Ms. Tatiana, Ms. Julie, Ms. Kelli, Ms. Zulma, Ms. Jordan, Ms. Claudia, Ms. Keri, Ms. Tamar, and Ms. Kerri (welcome back!), but everyone is wonderful! All the teachers and staff are so welcoming, compassionate, and communicative, and we're appreciative that they have part time schedules available. Best of all, our son loves going to school each morning!
Rebecca P.
Our family has had an awesome experience here. We love Ms. Z, Ms. Jordan, Ms. Claudia, and Ms. Keri. My son is excited at drop off and has the best time with his First Circle Family!

We have been very happy with our experience at First Circle with our toddler. He is greeted every morning by Lynn, Bianca, and Valenney and they create such a welcoming and nurturing environment for him. They do a great job planning classroom activities and we look forward to the updates we receive each day. We are so glad he is so happy there and that we’ve had a great experience so far!
Jennifer C.
We love First Circle! Our daughter has grown so much since starting there. The director Erin is so on top of things and knows every child in the center. Mary and Laura are the absolute best teachers! They are warm and caring. They also implement amazing curriculum and show a lot of patience with the kids. My daughter loves school because of them. We are so lucky our daughter is in their class. The entire staff is very friendly and kind. We love that many teachers know our daughter even if she isn't in their class.
Cassie M.
The K Prep program at First Circle is so wonderful! My daughter has advanced by leaps and bounds and loves going to school everyday. Ms. Patricia is so warm with the kids and Ms. Erica was a nice addition. They both provide a learning environment with lots of fun!
Lindsay S.
Finding the right daycare for our family and daughter took some time - but we’re so glad we decided on First Circle. The entire team has made our transition so smooth and we’re grateful to First Circle’s director, Erin, and the enrollment team led by Krishonda for accommodating our questions, schedule, and unique needs. Our daughter easily and comfortably integrated into her classroom thanks to her amazing teachers, Jill and Darshelle. We’re so thankful for their love, care, fun, and safety they surround our daughter with. We’re so glad to be part of the First Circle family and can’t wait to see how our daughter grows there.
Hannah H.
As a first-time parent, I was nervous about sending our infant to daycare, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found First Circle. Erin, the director, along with the infant teachers, made the transition seamless and reassuring. It’s clear our daughter is truly loved and well cared for when she is there. The teachers genuinely light up when she’s dropped off, and we so appreciate the consistent communication and daily updates through the app. The variety of activities—music, art, water play, toys, walks, and more—creates a stimulating and enriching environment. Special shoutout to the Infant 1 teachers: Marly, Brandy, and Patty. We love you!

We’re new to First Circle in the past few months and everything has been so wonderful. The teachers light up when I drop my son. They’ve been so helpful in assisting him with the adjustment to daycare. They provide great updates and work with us as my son goes through different developmental changes. I’m so thankful for infant room teachers—Marly, Brandy, and Patty—who seem to always go above and beyond to take such good care of my son.

Love this daycare. Currently I see Bianca, Lynn, and Valenney the most during pick up and drop off and they know my child so well! I look forward to the updates throughout the day. Everyday when I pick my child up, she is having a blast.

We’ve had a really positive experience at First Circle - our daughter loves it! Everyone knows her name and we’ve always felt very welcome. Special shoutout to Brandy for being the best teacher ever!

Laura, Mary, and Erica go above and beyond year after year as teachers! We are so grateful! Erin is a great director as well.

We’ve loved our experience at First Circle. We enrolled our son at 7 months and he’s now in the toddler room. Erin made the enrollment process easy, and Lisa and Bianca were such warm and welcoming faces when we first started in the infant1 room. Jill and Darshelle were the best in the infant3 room, making the transition so easy for everyone. Now that we’re in the toddler room with Karina and Sarah, our son is having so much fun developing his motor and speech skills with the big kids. He learns so much from daycare, and I always have confidence that he’s taken care of when there.

We are so happy to be a part of the First Circle family. Our soon- to-be-two year old started daycare earlier this year in the infant rooms where she was welcomed by teachers like the incredibly warm Paulina and Brandy, and where she first met Bianca, who became an instant fave of our whole family. She then transitioned to a toddler room with Sarah and Karina who couldn't have been sweeter. And she's now thriving in toddler 3 where she's greeted by the lovely Vallenny most mornings and where she's under the daily care and guidance of Bianca and Lynn, who we love as well! The whole staff seems to get to know and be truly invested in the full roster of students, and it's such a comfort to know how much fun is being had throughout the days our little one spends with her classmates and teachers "at school."

Having joined the First Circle community a few months ago, we are so happy and impressed with the care our son receives when he goes to daycare, and it is clear that he is learning and growing every day he is at First Circle. Teachers, Marly, Brandy, and Patty, are energetic, knowledgeable, and kind and provide a warm and safe environment for my son to thrive. We love receiving daily updates and photos in real time and appreciate the responsiveness of the teachers through the app. We can't recommend First Circle enough!

We are lucky to have found First Circle Learning Center and have loved our experience here with childcare. As our children have grown, we’ve transitioned through classrooms seamlessly, thanks to the thoughtful approach of the staff. Each transition has been thoughtfully managed, consistently supporting our child’s development. From the toddler classrooms—thanks to Sarah, Karina, Neyla, Patty, and Lynn—to the preschool classroom with Mary and Laura, our child has truly flourished. He looks forward to going to school and comes home happy, engaged, and excited about the activities he participates in. While we still have a little one in an infant classroom, we would be remiss not to mention the quality of care he’s receiving from Jill and Darshelle. The communication from the teachers and administrators (Jamey, Erin, and Lisa) have been outstanding. We always feel well-informed through regular updates, whether via email, notes, or personal conversations. This transparency has fostered a strong partnership between us and the staff. Overall, we are extremely happy with the quality of care and would highly recommend First Circle to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their children.

This is our third year as a First Circle nursery school family, and we’ve had nothing but a great experience. All of the teachers my kids have had (Laura, Mary, Elisa, Erica, CeCe and Fiona) have been great. We would highly recommend the school to anyone looking for a small community where the teachers get to know not only their own class, but the students and siblings across the school.

We have been so happy with First Circle for our daughter! Erin the director is amazing at communication and takes the time to get to know all the kids. The infant team of Lisa, Brandy, Paulina, Mary made such a difference as first time parents navigating starting daycare they made us feel so comfortable and we knew our daughter was so well taken care of each day! She is now in the toddler room with Karina and Sarah and they couldn’t be sweeter and so patient and you can tell how much our daughter is really loved and is comforted by them which is such a nice feeling!

We love First Circle! My older daughter was in the nursery school program for 3 years and my son is now in the preschool class. We have loved the small, community feel and our kids have developed great friendships. The teachers are compassionate, creative and attuned to their needs. They foster an environment that make the kids excited to go to school each day. Fiona, Cece, Laura, Mary, Elisa, and Erica have been wonderful with my kids. Next year will sadly be our last year in the pre-K class - but we'll leave knowing that our kids have had a wonderful start to their education at First Circle!

We have been at First Circle since 2022, and I love that many of the teachers that worked with my older child are still there, caring for my younger child. In particular would like to mention Ms. Helen, who has been a calm guiding caregiver from whom I have asked advice about my own kids. Ms. Kellen is a ray of sunshine and takes such an interest in each child. My older child still talks about all the things she learned in pre-K with Ms. Bila, who is wonderful with the children. There are so many other teachers we've interacted with throughout the years—Bianca, Valenney, Ryan, Mary, Lynn, Patty, and more. Even if they aren't our main teachers, they know the children and seem excited to see them. And of course, the director Erin is wonderful.

Our daughters started up at First Circle Needham this past year and the transition has been great. Erin, Lisa, and the team there made enrollment seamless. Our oldest started in Pre-K and has recently transitioned to K-Prep. Miss Bila, Miss Elisa, and Miss Christina in Pre-K were very welcoming and communicative with us about how her start to the school was going. Our daughter came home with a smile (and tired, in a good way) right from day one. When she transitioned to K-Prep, the teachers coordinated to let our daughter visit in the days leaidng up to make the change easier. Miss Patricia and Miss Erica in K-Prep are fantastic teachers —we can tell that the kids all enjoy their time there. Our youngest is in Infant Three with Miss Darshelle and Miss Jill. At this age, the teachers truly are like a second set of parents and we were able to trust them right away. They have very nurturing and comforting personalities and our daughter loves them. Miss Brandy and Miss Marly and the rest of the Infant teachers help out as well which we appreciate. This is a great school with a great community of kids and parents.
