Up Up & Play Academy
Our center is dedicated to providing an exceptional learning experience for young children by combining Montessori methods and traditional early education instruction. We provide a safe caring environment designed to encourage creativity, exploration and social interactions. I've been very happy with the care my eight month old daughter has received since starting at Up, Up and play at just 12 weeks old.

The teachers are loving and caring and do wonderful activities and art projects with her. She is excited to see them every time I drop her off. The director Heather is always very responsive when I need to email her with questions. Can't say enough good things about this amazing place! My son has been going to Up Up and Play since he was an infant.
Services
The Infant program works on the specific needs of the baby including tummy time, songs, stories and fine and gross motor play. We are committed to providing your child with a loving and nurturing environment. Our teachers plan developmentally appropriate activities to stimulate your baby's growth. Our infant teachers work with families with the schedule they wish to have for their baby to follow.
Our program combines theme-based curriculum with Phonics and Montessori methods. Wefeel that by combining these teaching methods we help create an atmosphere where children can all become successful learners. Each classroom keeps an individual portfolio that is updated weekly to track students progress.
Up Up and Play's Kindergarten tuition is an affordable single yearly fee of $8,000. This is a full day program running from 9am-3pm with an option of before and after school. We have vacation weeks during December, February and April. There is an option of camp weeks during school and summer vacations.

Up Up and Play has been amazing place for our 2-year-old daughter - she started attending at 3 months old and has had wonderfully kind, caring teachers throughout her time there. The fact that my daughter happily goes into her classroom each morning and talked constantly about missing her teachers while she was away speaks volumes. The staff and owner are all fantastic and flexible about working with families. We learn lots about our daughter's day - complete with photos - via app. I recommend Up Up and Play wholeheartedly!

I feel so lucky to have my son at this daycare. They are clean and always doing new, fun things for the kids. My son has learned so much, and I know that Up Up and Play Academy has played a major role in that. As a new mom it is so nice not to have to worry about my child, knowing that he is in good hands! Highly recommend!!!

BEST SCHOOL & TEACHERS IN ALL OF MASS!
My child has been going to Up,Up & Play for almost 3 years now & I am extremely pleased with how well that school is! During this difficult time it is extremely difficult for any parent to send their child to a public place but the Staff at UP,UP & PLAY have gone ABOVE & BEYOND to meet all the safety qualifications necessary!! They even added more outdoor water toys for the hot days & knowing the kids are best outdoors in the fresh air! I couldn’t talk highly enough about this facility. This is why I say they are the very best!!

This place is wonderful with very professional Management and Teachers. My Son started here once he turned a year old. It has been continuous 3 years now and I am so glad we found this school. The best part is, it is not a Franchise and owned by a Family which gives lot of flexibility to the parents. Every parent/child needs are different and Heather who is the owner makes sure that each and every need/concern is addressed with utmost care. Parents are trusting and leaving their most precious little ones at the school which is very safe, playful and educational so that they can do their jobs peacefully

My son attends Up Up and Play (Toddler room2 ) for past four months. I am glad we found this daycare! The teachers are very friendly, caring and experienced. My son was attending another daycare for 9 months before and the drop offs were never easy (crying/ refusing to go) and then we switched to Up up and Play and everything changed! He loves his daycare, teachers and is very happy to be there. He has speech delays and his room teachers have always provided the support he needs and now he is able to communicate better( and more words too!). Also I love their app through which they communicate

We couldn’t be more pleased to have our daughter attending this school. The directors, teachers, and staff are friendly and welcoming and seem to care genuinely for the children in their care. Everyone was greeting our one-year-old daughter by name after only a few weeks of being there. They also use a really cool app called BrightWheel to communicate questions and needs as well as photos of activities during the day. We are so grateful to Heather, Emily, Mary, and everyone else who is going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with where our daughter is spending her days, growing and

Can't say enough good things about this amazing place! My son has been going to Up Up and Play since he was an infant. He is taken care of by a staff who are top notch and care about him wholeheartedly. I never worry about him because I know Heather and her staff are teaching and loving my son as if he was their own. It's extremely hard to find a place like this and I am forever grateful to have Up Up and Play in our lives!

I would not send my child anywhere else. Up Up and Play is a top notch facility. I receive detailed reports about what my child ate, when and other details that are important.
The owner is extremely accommodating. Heather's experience is obvious in how efficient Up Up and Play is run. The staff is also amazing. They are friendly and take great care of my kiddo.
If you are not going to Up Up and Play then you are doing yourself and your family a disservice.

This daycare is excellent! My daughter was at another daycare prior to switching to Up Up and Play and prior to the switch she was acting out and having a lot of behavioral problems, I was starting to get very concerned and decided to switch the atmosphere to see if that is what was needed. IT WAS!! When I switched her to Up Up and Play all of those problems stopped, she no longer was acting out or having aggressive behaviors.The teachers and director are wonderful and loving, it was a very easy transition for my daughter and she Immidately felt safe and loved in this environment. I am very happy

M daughter has been going there since she was an infant. I could not be happier with the staff and what my daughter has learned over the years. She has fun and loves her teachers. And that is the most important factor in choosing a daycare. Thank you Up, Up and Play!
