Learning Center At Piper'S Hill

We have two children at Piper's over the last 7 years and have been overall very pleased, especially given this is a true non-profit organization. The price is excellent for the services provided and all our class teachers have seemed to genuinely care for our children. Our children are happy and exposed to diversity that reflects our town. The benefits of diapers, formula, and hot lunch plus two snacks really helps a two-working parent household. The new administration is doing well and has improved the quality of communications.

Great school from my experience! My son loved going to school here from the explorer program all the way to pre-K 4. They have lovely enrichment options like field trips, music and gym. They are welcoming and inclusive to all. The lesson plans are always sent to you as a parent ahead of time and they incorporate family projects into their monthly curriculum. I have been thrilled with them and appreciate that the lunch and snack program is inclusive in the tuition. As a hard working parent, I recognize they are not for profit and run by a board inclusive of parents. These are all benefits to the "everyday" working parent and the reasons why I refer them to my friends. Too often, we are quick to write reviews on negative experiences, myself included. I wanted to take the time to note this positive one for future parents considering applying to this school. Schedule a tour and check them out, you can decide for yourself. I cannot say enough good things, even through the uncertain times of the covid pandemic where everyone was learning to navigate a new path, they communicated upfront and valued parental feedback. Their was notable turnover in staff during that time as with all industries but this has since stabilized. I can honestly say they have always made every effort to accommodate the collective needs of the parents. This speaks volumes as to why my children return year after year.

The Learning Center of Piper's Hill is an amazing place for the children and staff. The children leave the center super excited about such a great fun day they had and the staff is amazing. So attentive and supportive, teachers communicate on everything that occurs during the day with the students. The staff is amazing, absolutely a great place for you to send your children or people to work at.

So, obviously you know there are a handful of daycares in the area to choose from. My family and I interviewed multiple daycares and know that many are great. Well, one of our biggest factors was finding a location with an early drop off option (7 a.m.) since my wife is a teacher and I travel for work, so on those days when I’m gone our daughter would have to be dropped off. I’m sure that like us, you may have been overwhelmed by the price tag of daycare, especially if he or she is your first (just like us). Piper’s Hill really stood out to us after some of our interviews in everything that comes with the price, and for the fact that it was very reasonable in comparison to all of the others in the area. So with price being a factor, we were happy with with the bang we get for the buck. Next inline is the current administration that is there, I know that in time people come and people go, but I hope this team sticks together for a while, during the selection process they really listened to and answered all of our questions. They followed up with us, but were not overbearing. In addition, anytime we have had questions or a minor concern, they took the time to listen to what we had to say and followed through with taking care of our question with action. One instance was simply an outfit getting placed with a different child, but they followed through with emails to the parents and we got the outfit back. Next thing we really liked was the location. They have a really nice facility with great outdoor playground areas for each age group. And they just updated it this year too! The only downside about the location is the proximity to Westhill High School, so from about 7-730 drop offs are a challenge due to traffic, I’m not sure what time the High School gets out, so I can’t tell you when. Now for the most important part (if you made it this far). The teachers that we have had the pleasure to work with in Infant A are fantastic. They really put our minds at ease with the love, attention, affection and care she receives. It’s more than we would ask for, but definitely what we would hope for. They read to hear, they change her diapers regularly (I know that’s expected, but still, that’s not the most fun thing in the world!!), they play with her, they teach her smells, sounds, sights. I mean, they do a REALLY REALLY good job from my experience. I’d have to give Piper’s Hill a 4.5 so I’m going to round up to 5. But I hope they can maintain, and I wish we were staying around so I could give you updates as our daughter advances through the years, but we are relocating for a new job. All the best to you Piper’s Hill. We are going to miss you and your teachers!
