Hear From Our Community

Happy Families at Sparrow Early Learning Somerville.

"Super friendly and engaged staff. There is genuine care and affection shown to the kids on a daily basis. I am always impressed with how they teach and nurture the growth of all the children at the center. My 10 year old still has a strong connection 5 years later and loves to see her old teachers that are still around."
Rowan
"The management team are just fantastic, they go above and beyond to help cater to any requests and always greet you with a big welcome. All the staff are just incredible, they all know nearly every child that walks through those doors and are like a big family. They are so warm and welcoming and love the children like their own, it makes drop offs so much easier knowing the care your child is receiving!"

“Started with Sparrow and have loved every part of our journey, staff are all welcoming and love that all educators know your child even though they aren't in the same room, very inclusive. Communication is great & I love having regular updates on my child's day.”
Tracey A
"What an amazing place. My little miss just loves it here with all the space out the back. I don't think we will ever move. She walks off as soon as we walk inside. She runs out the back to find the room leader and the animals and isn't concerned at all that I'm leaving for work.”
Jazzy Gee
“Great care! The staff goes above and beyond, creating a warm and nurturing environment. Thoughtful activities and educational experiences tailored to her age. The communication with parents is excellent, and I feel confident and grateful to have such wonderful childcare for my little one.”
Bek Jane
“Great childcare centre! We are only there two days a week but all of the educators know my son and greet him by name with a big smile. We are very happy with the dedication and care of all the staff. The centre is clean and well maintained and my little one is obsessed with the food they serve!”
Heidi Carroll
“My children are always excited to go to the centre. We love the staff and how much they care for all the children there. I would recommend anyone to choose this centre for their own children.”
Danielle Anderson
“After nearly 8 years, 2 children I wouldn’t send my kids anywhere else. The staff are amazing and care about your child, it really is an extension of your family. We will be sad when the end of the year comes.”
