The quality of the teaching staff is amazing from the Infant/Toddler room up through Preschool/Kindergarten. You can tell that the cost of tuition goes towards retaining the top quality staff and providing programs such as Spanish, Mandarin, and Music time that would be considered “extras” at other facilities.

HeadsUp! is a fantastic daycare and school. My three-year-old daughter has been there for more than two years. She learns a lot and enjoys the time in HeadsUp!.

Both of our children attended HeadsUp! Our 9-year-old daughter greatly benefited from spending five years at HeadsUp! and Emerson Montessori School. The Montessori approach to education proved to be highly effective for her; the self-driven attitude and love for learning instilled in her has helped her to this day. Our 4-year-old son has also been a part of HeadsUp! for three years now, and he looks forward to going there every day!

HeadsUp! is very well organized and managed. The teachers we’ve worked with are all very responsible and caring. We noticed our LO has learned lots of things at school and sometimes she even surprised us.

We’ve been proud Heads Up! parents since 2017, and all 3 of our children started the program at 6 months. We love that the school balances Montessori values but is still very academically focused. From Spanish, Mandarin, art, and music classes starting in the infant room to the Mandarin Immersion program we feel our children have always been set up for success.
At 2 years old, school-led potty training was amazing! At 3 years old, our kids would come home talking about the solar system and the continents in two different languages. Before starting kindergarten our oldest could do simple addition, subtraction, and read on his own. We highly recommend HeadsUp!.

Finding HeadsUp! felt like winning the lottery for my family. My two boys aren’t just learning, they’re truly blossoming in this caring environment. The teachers go above and beyond, and that genuine warmth ra- diates throughout the daycare. If you’re considering HeadsUp!, don’t hesitate – jump in with both feet!

HeadsUp! has been a great choice for our two children, both of whom started in the infant-toddler program and continued through preschool. We built a great community here. Its certified Montessori teachers always acted in the child’s best interests. Our kids are responsible, independent, and graceful today due to the foundations laid here. The school is a gift for working parents, stays open year-round, except weekends and federal holidays, and doesn’t make demands on their time and resources beyond necessary.

Our older kid was in Google Children’s Center for the preschool year, and we have a mixed experience with them. So, even though our younger one also got the lottery for attending Google Children’s Center, we decided to enroll him into HeadsUp! instead, and we are very happy with our decisions. The teachers in HeadsUp! are caring and attentive, and our younger one is very happy there. His social and emotional development progressed quite well, and it’s heartwarming to see how well he interacts with others.

HeadsUp! has been transformative for my 4-year- old. We love the Montessori framework and the way it’s implemented, including all the special language, music, and art classes, and learning from peers and slightly older kids. We particularly appreciate the very experienced staff that has been with HeadsUp! for 20+ years in many cases. They’re so kind and gentle with the kids, and we see our son showcasing kindness and generosity with younger kids, and even with us! We also like their willingness to very frequently engage with parents on the child’s needs.

I can entrust my child to the school because my child’s experience (inclusive of academic results and soft skills development) makes me feel confident that the school, the curriculum, and the teachers collaboratively empower the children to develop a well-rounded disposition.

HeadsUp! continues to be an exceptional daycare for our 1.5-year-old daughter. The staff are warm and nurturing, and they create an enriching and welcoming environment for her to develop social, emotional, and creative skills. Most importantly, she loves it there, too!
