Inspire Early Education Walpole South, Massachusetts – Child Care School

Our son has been at this center for over four years, and we are so grateful for all the support this amazing team has given us. From his very first teacher when he was just an infant, we knew we had found a truly special group of early education professionals. The administration team has been incredible—consistently going above and beyond to advocate for our son’s special education resources and to help us navigate his services. We couldn’t be more appreciative.

My daughter has been attending Inspire Walpole South for 5 years now and I don’t have anything but extraordinary things to say about the school, staff and all the teachers. My daughter has made the best of friends there and her teachers are like family to her. The teachers go above and beyond for the kids and knowing they are in the best of hands every single day makes for a comfortable and positive experience for all. Everyone who works there are so kind and caring. I highly recommend this school for you’re littles!

My daughter is currently at the preschool level at Inspire but has been enrolled from 3 months old. I have had the opportunity to experience each age level at Inspire and have met all of the dedicated teachers at this school. Every teacher at Inspire is loving, welcoming and a great support to us as parents as we navigate each new stage with our growing children. A few that stick out to me who have personally supported and impacted my motherhood in a positive and meaningful way include Theresa, Emily, Emma, Cynthia, and most especially Justine. Each teacher at inspire feels like an extension of our family - meeting us where we’re at each day with a warm smile and making each child feel important.

Overall, inspire is a place I’m proud to send my daughter. It’s a safe place I can trust because of the dedicated teachers who play a crucial role in shaping the children of the future.

Inspire Early Education has been a second home for our two daughters. The teachers are all wonderful. We are comfortable and confident that they are in great hands when they are at school! The school has done a few recent renovations, including the new furniture, flooring and the amazing playgrounds! The addition of the Creative Curriculum is another thing worth highlighting. Our daughters come home very excited to share what they learned each day during dinner time. The evidence of learning radiates through the classrooms! I am lucky enough and proud to be one of the assistant directors at this site!

Inspire Walpole South is the best of the best! Our two children absolutely love going every day, and we know they are in the very best hands. The teachers go above and beyond and are so warm, welcoming, and fun- Our kids come home glowing about the different projects and activities they do. The directors are fantastic and the communication has been exceptional. We love the monthly family events and all the extra fun the center puts on for the community. We're so grateful for the Inspire Walpole South team and all they do daily!

We could not be happier with Kids & Co./Inspire South! We have 3 children who currently attend, our oldest has been here since he was 7 months old and is now about to complete Pre-K! All the teachers & directors show such genuine care and love for our children. They are always teaching our kids new things and helping them learn through play. Our oldest is more than prepared for K all because of what he was provided at this center. We are thrilled our youngest two will continue to thrive over the next few years at this location!

Our experience at Inspire Walpole South has been outstanding in every way. The directors and teachers are truly wonderful - they are attentive, compassionate, and consistently go above and beyond to ensure that every child feels welcome, supported and secure.

We highly recommend this daycare to any family seeking a professional and high-quality early childhood environment!

Inspire South has been an incredible part of our family for the past 5 years. We sent both of our boys there, and we’ve always felt completely confident and comfortable leaving them in the care of the loving staff. The teachers truly go above and beyond. Our oldest started kindergarten this past year and was more than ready, thanks to the amazing teachers. We’re so grateful for all they’ve done!

The directors, teachers, and staff at Inspire Walpole South are beyond amazing. We have 3 kids there. They are happy, safe, learning, and loved. The staff are kind, positive, and warm, and our kids are always happy to run into the building in the morning. We love everyone there and are so grateful that our kids can go to such a wonderful place. Inspire is part of our extended family.

For the most part, the teachers at this daycare genuinely care for the children in their classrooms. However, some staff members have exhibited unprofessional behavior, which has at times made the experience uncomfortable. It’s also apparent that many teachers are not being adequately supported—financially or professionally—which ultimately affects the quality of care and education the children receive.

There have also been repeated instances where classrooms were out of ratio, meaning there were not enough teachers for the number of children present. This is concerning not only from a safety standpoint but also because it violates state regulations.

Teacher turnover at this center is extremely high, and it is troubling that there seems to be little meaningful effort from corporate leadership to address the issue or improve staff retention. The environment feels unstable, and that instability inevitably affects the children.

Another frustration is the steady increase in tuition costs, with no clear explanation of how the additional funds are being used. Given that the center receives state grant money, one would expect more transparency regarding how resources are allocated and how they benefit both teachers and students.

The daycare has also undergone several ownership and branding changes in recent years. Each transition came with promises of improvement, but instead the overall quality has actually declined.

While there are still some wonderful individuals working here, the issues outlined above make it difficult to recommend this daycare. It’s disappointing to see a steady decline in what was once a more positive environment.
