Peas in a Pod Nursery School 501 Main Street, Saugus, MA 01906

"My 2 yr old attended this daycare in 2021. 3 things occurred at this daycare that caused me to pull my child out. 1. Foot and mouth disease outbreaks were occurring often which caused my child to continuously be sick. 2. They would lock my child in a stroller causing him to fall asleep during pickups. Very seldom did I find my child not in the stroller. My child is active and if given the chance he would have been playing. 3. The daycare has a playground in the parking lot. I discovered from an outside vendor, that my child was almost hit by a car while they were walking from the doors to the playground because no one was holding my child’s hand and he wanted to see the chickens beside the playground. The school had weeks to notify me, but didn’t. The moment I found out, I dropped everything, and drove to the daycare to remove my child. The company said that the staff didn’t report it and thus they would have not known. If you don’t know what is going on at your facility, or choose to employ unethical staff, that’s a problem. This place is cheap, but it comes at the cost of your child’s life. Protect your children. Do not send them here."

"Seems like a great place to bring the children but somethinsg I noticed they have about 5 hens/chickens lay eggs never have water always lots food long hot holiday weekends no water 7x left message for owner same thing neglect next call to animal control! Cage dirty! Not right"

"Staff seemed easily flustered and unable to manage infants. We decided to pull our child out when staff handed all of the bottles prepped with formula back to us dry. We realized staff had not even attempted to feed him."

"My 3 year old son has been attending Peas in a Pod since he was 1 years old. The owners and teachers are very caring and knowledgeable. PPNS is very good at keeping in touch with us through the Brightwheel app where we get updates outthought that day and messages that are always quickly responded. The stuff are great with request and help; for example like potty training. Everyday he seems to surprise us with his learning. Every child learns differently and they understand that. My son had some difficulties in his behavior which a lot of children do ( I think parents forget that and it happens everywhere, no matter where you go. ) but they were fully understandable and fully willing to stick by us. And I completely appreciate them for not giving up on him. Now my son is better then where he was from 2 years ago and last year. Also he met a lot of good friends at PPNS which I can see him staying friends even after PPNS."
