words from our families

“The Community School blew us away! What a lovely, kind, playful, nurturing gem of a preschool – I always thought places like this had to be wildly expensive but TCS is affordable and accessible. Our daughter grew so much just in the 3-month abbreviated program (Covid). I love how much time they spend outdoors and how they take the children on field trips to local businesses and the library, post office, etc. We feel so lucky to have this amazing resource right in Maynard.”
