"North Station area is not a neighborhood at all. It’s high rises and people who have no vested interest in the area. It’s a plus to live in the middle of all the action (North End, concerts, Bruins, Celtics, restaurants), but it is definitely not a neighborhood. "

"The neighborhood, especially around North Station, is changing fast but there’s still a lot that needs to be cleaned up. "

"North Station is changing fast, for the better, but the streets are still filthy and the area has a big heroin problem. "

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have been very happy with our experience at Boston Children's School so far. It is a warm, fun, calming, well-run/well-organized environment. This is an incredible option for your child, especially if they are going to school for the first time. Mrs Langer and the staff were truly wonderful with helping our son acclimate - they were so kind and patient with him, giving him true one-on-one attention on adapting. They kept us updated each day (throughout the day) on how he was doing, which was very reassuring for us. We also LOVE how the children of all the age groups interact/spend time with each other throughout the day (e.g. lunchtime, snacktime). It is so good for the younger kids to learn from/see how the older kids behave in a school setting. And the older kids are so wonderful with the younger ones, helping and teaching them!It is clear to us that BCS has been run, cared for, and beautifully managed since inception - and by the same director, Mrs Langer. She really is a gift to the students and their families. She is a seasoned educator, who develops a wholesome and highly inclusive curriculum that is focused on just that; the education and an environment for the children to flourish in. She makes it feel like one big family.Also to note, it's super easy to drop off if you will drive your child to school in front of 8 Whittier Place. There is a driveway in front of the building, away from traffic, etc.Parent Review2y ago7 Reviews - Boston Children's School Annex
