Our 3 year old is loving Milford Coop so far! A huge shout-out to the amazing teachers here. We can't wait for our 1 year old to start here as well. Thank you Milford Co-op!
Dan Champagne · 5/5 on Google · 2 years agoMy wife and I love this place, and, more importantly, our kids love it. The hours really require at least one stay-at-home or work-from-home parent, but, if you can swing it schedule-wise, I highly recommend this place!
