The Learning Center at Piper's Hill

"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."

"My daughter has been going to Piper’s Hill for over a year now (explorer and now toddler classroom) and I can’t say enough good things about the staff here! Everyone is so friendly and caring. My daughter has been thriving here and we get lots of updates/pictures on the app they use all day. I have had nothing but good experiences with the administration as well."

"I have to say, This has been weighing on me for a long while. The problem is not only the care that the children should be having but the care the staff should also be receiving from the company. This place is losing staff on a daily. The company has lost so many good employees recently and that's because they have been treated very poorly. This is no longer an experience but an exhaustion. Upper staff treat "lesser staff" so poorly they have literally told them how horrible their work is, when these people are the same people who care for your children. They have told staff that their personal life doesn't matter. They have no empathy on single mothers struggling and or trying to help their staff, but yet threaten to fire them being under certain circumstances. Many teachers and or assistance who truly cared for these children are leaving or are now probably gone and now hiring whatever walks in is their best best. I know personally a handful of people that have left not because of the dreaded work they have imposed on them but the treatment they constantly receive from the higher ups. Belittling staff should not be how to speak to staff who do the HARD WORK for your company. This is abuse!!! The owner of this company should be ashamed!!! By its history it surely looks like they really don't care about anything. Ive read reviews and how poorly certain situations were treated that right there should give you an idea of place this is. They obviously only care when they are losing. And in this case theyve lost many, and many good staff. This usually goes to hiring whomever applies and usually people are just going for the job$. Signed, Anonymous or an ex staff or parent."

"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."

"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."
