What Other Parents Have Said...
"There are so many things parents worry about when leaving their children in the care of someone other than family and friends. So, when it came time to choose a preschool for our son - we toured what we believe to be every school in Bedford!! From the moment we walked into Bedford Child Development Center (BCDC), we knew this was the place. Visitors and parents can only enter BCDC by ringing a bell and waiting for a staff member to let them in. We found it comforting to know that not just anyone could come in and out. The facility is exceptionally clean and well kept; and the décor is extremely cheerful. Most importantly, Cindy Maher and her staff have such passion for what they do; and love for the children they care for. They ensure that the curriculum for the children is appropriate for their level of development and take time to nurture each child’s individual growth. When our son first started attending BCDC, we called often to check on him (you know….nervous parent syndrome!!) The entire staff was very helpful, reassuring, and patient with all of us during that transitional phase. It was not long before we trusted that we had made the right choice for our son. Along with the above, BCDC is always willing to work with us regarding our schedules, their pricing is competitive, and their hours of operation work for our family. Our son will tell you… “I love my school” and “I love my teachers.” Thank You," The Willen Family
Bedford Child Development Center has been a godsend for our family. Our son has been attending the center for over a year now. When I compare BCDC to the other child care centers where my daughter attended, I have found some basic differences. BCDC is very clean and the staff is very diligent in their care of the overall center. My daughter, who attended another center, had more cold and instances of sickness than I care to count, my son has had only a few. However, if that was their only redeeming quality I would not be writing this recommendation. Some other factors that set this center apart from others is their dedication to children. Cindy sets about to find qualified, certified and most importantly caring people for her staff - not just hiring people off the street, but hiring quality people who care about the children and who have the actual credentials. Showing that they, too are serious about their careers. The environment at BCDC is one of learning and positive reinforcement. My son just turned four and he can count to 15, knows his ABCs, and his colors, is able to listen and follow two step directions and is learning more things every day. He routinely asks me if it is his day to go to Preschool. This means that not only is he learning, but he is enjoying learning and having fun while doing it. BCDC also does a summer session where they do fun things like Bike Days, Water Fun, and my son's personal favorite - fun lunch day. This makes his days there interesting and fun along with learning to play and interact well with his peers. This letter wouldn't be complete without me telling you of their one drawback. The center doesn't have a lunch program. However, in light of all the many positives, I feel that this is a very minor inconvenience to overcome. Thank you, The Schmitz Family
As a single parent, I was looking for a place for my children that would love them as family, make new friends as well as satisfying their educational needs. BCDC accomplishes that and more. My son never wants to leave and my daughter is very happy there also. One of the concerns most parents struggle with taking their kids to a day care is worrying whether or not their kids are okay while they are gone. I'm very fortunate that I've never had to struggle with this issue and that's because Cindy and her staff love my kids like their own. I could never imagine taking my kids anywhere else.
