Tartts Day Care Centers, Inc

I could not have been happier with Tartt’s for my daughters. The teachers are excellent and truly care, becoming like family. The staff is thoughtful and understanding and run their business well. My older daughter spent nearly 4 years at Tartt’s and was so well prepared for school; her kindergarten teacher was impressed with how much she knew and what a good listener and participant she is, especially as one of the younger kids in class. I have to say that those skills and values were instilled during her years at Tartt’s. My younger daughter was cared for by the same teachers 4 years later– no crazy turnover like the places that may have more bells and whistles, but less heart. Tartt’s is the cream of the crop — my daughters were truly loved and grew during their time there.

It feels nearly impossible to truly express how grateful my husband and I are for the Tartt’s family– and family is really what they have become. When I became pregnant I toured several daycare centers, and Tartt’s blew them all away. Small, family run, personal, and incredibly organized, it was the only place I felt comfortable sending my soon to be daughter.
Fast forward almost 14 months later and R has been at Tartt’s for 10 months. We have been delighted with every day she has been there, from the inevitably difficult first drop off and all the way through today. The teachers genuinely love the children they care for; which is made clear by their warm smiles, welcoming manner, and excited updates that they give us each day when we pick her up. R has also faced some unexpected medical challenges this first year, and everyone at Tartt’s has been an invaluable member of our team. They have offered support, assisted with her various therapies, and provided constant optimism as she has recovered and progressed. R clearly adores her days at Tartt’s, as well as her teachers, which as any parent knows, is very reassuring. Additionally, Wanda and Ken are always available for any questions we may have– it’s an incredible relief to be able to sit down with the center directors at any point, and made our transition so much smoother.
On all levels, and in all ways, Tartt’s is an absolutely incredible center filled with people who truly love children– I can’t recommend them highly enough!

My husband and I toured many daycares when I was pregnant, looking for the best one to bring our daughter. We decided on Tartts because they really stress that they are a family run business and not some cold corporation. When you’re thinking about what to do for your kid, this seems important. We paid our deposit and waited for the birth of our daughter. Halfway through my maternity leave, I got laid off. (And yes, this is legal when it’s part of a mass layoff) This was obviously a devastating blow since we just had a baby and money was going to be tighter than normal. So we called Tartts…
Tartts refused to refund our deposit or even extend it to another start date so that I could find a new job. Suddenly that warm, family vibe disappeared completely. The «nice» man on the phone told us we would have to pay a new deposit when I found a job and they would be keeping the original one. We explained that I lost my job and would happily provide proof of that, so they knew I wasn’t just creating a sob story, but no.
I completely appreciate that deposits are non refundable at most of these places. That being said, I think that businesses need to be a little more human. I have no love for a company that profits off of a situation like this. When I find a new job, we won’t be going to Tartts and we will not recommend them to others. Very disappointed.

We love Tartts and were sad to leave. The teachers and staff were great – they were so caring and loving towards my son. He started at Tartts at 3.5 months old and the teachers were so helpful in getting him adjusted to daycare and even with starting on a bottle. They made me feel comfortable when coming back to work and were great at communicating with us where needed. We eventually had to leave because the location/​commute was inconvenient, but both we and the teachers were sad when we parted. Thanks to Wanda, Ken and the teachers at Tartts!

We have been so very pleased with Tartts. The staff is friendly, loving, energetic and caring. Our boys have been so well cared for there. The staff is always engaged with the children and the children are always engaged in developmentally and age appropriate activities. Our boys have learned so much there and are greeted warmly every day. If you’re looking for a day care where your child will be safe and happy, this is it!

I absolutely love Tartt’s Daycare. The staff is professional, knowledgeable and very caring. Every morning they are excited to see my daughter and greet her and all the kids with warm smiles and hugs. They made the transition back to work very easy on us. The price has gone up a bit since the last reviewer but it is still not nearly as much as the more corporate facilities out there and very affordable.

Overall I really like this daycare for my infant girl. The day care providers are all very friendly and greet my baby with smiles and she smiles back! My little one adjusted to the daycare within the first week. I like the fact that is a family owned business and not a big corporation. Its a warm and engaging environment.
it’s also very affordable for Boston. The rate is $ 330/​week and when she gets old enough for solids, Tartt’s provides bfast, lunch, and dinner.
The only downside is the parking. This daycare is located in an area with alot of state workers so they get in early which means no parking spaces for morning drop off. Most parents have to yield their car in front of a bustop.
