“Fantastic! I am a grandmother that became familiar with Sunshine Childcare, during a difficult second pregnancy for my daughter. The administrator and staff are warm, caring and showed concern for my grandson, during this trying time. I was welcomed to events, drop off and pick up often with a warm hello, Meemo! I don’t think there is a better place for my grandsons, they know they are in a loving environment, and their learning experience has been tremendous.” – F. Thomas
Yal-Day-New Day Care Center
Yal-Day-New Day Care Center opened as an intimate early childhood program in the Young Israel of Brookline, where parents were heavily involved in all aspects of governance. A professionally trained early childhood Director was hired from its inception, as well as experienced and nurturing teachers. This arrangement provided a traditional daycare center but with a “family feel” and quality to it. To maintain that “family feel” of which makes us so unique, Yal-Day-New takes great pride in being a community.
Yal-Day-New has been located at Temple Bnai Moshe in Brighton. Yal-Day-New moved to Temple Bnai Moshe because of an unfortunate fire at the Young Israel of Brookline. They celebrate thirty-five years of excellence in early education, with the longest-running infancy program in the Brighton/Brookline/Newton area.

“You can trust this place completely with your kids! Our 2 sons are really enjoying their time spent there. It’s not just Israeli families there, it’s also other American families there. Reasonable prices and I checked almost every activity there and stayed very pleased. They even have yoga there, it’s not something you’d expect. Very pleasant people. Definitely would advise to anyone to let their kids get enrolled here.” – Alisha G.

“Ethos is a safe, educational and fun environment for my children. The teachers are beyond incredible and they love my daughter just as I do. The fact that my daughter lights up when I say “time to go to school” and runs into the classroom the second we enter the center is a testament to the kind of place Ethos is. It was the best decision we could have made for our daughter and family.” – Kaitlin H.
Little Panda Early Learning
Little Panda Early Learning has been open since 2012. The founder and director Cindy Liao has been in the field of education since 1999 and has taught at elementary schools and other educational programs in China, as well as in childcare centers in Boston. In her extensive experience, she realized that children can start to explore and learn different languages and cultures from a young age.
During the past 8 years, Little Panda explores ways to help children understand and master the Chinese language according to children’s ages and their Chinese proficiency levels. We use different methods and approaches for children to learn Chinese, also we hold a variety of events and provide enrichment activities for children and parents. Since we constantly explore new ways and improve upon existing methods, Little Panda has become Boston’s Unique Mandarin Immersion childcare program.

“Little Panda Early Learning Center is definitely the best preschool organization ever. As the father of two kids, my kids love their teachers. Special thanks to my kids’ teacher, Jenny Liu.

Thank you for creating such a fun and educational environment for (Janet Wang & Jaden Wang). We really appreciate it. I’m so glad for teachers like you who really make a difference in a child’s life. God bless you more and keep up the wonderful work!”
