Hey K.,
I am in Cumberland and have used two pre-schools. Cherry Blossoms on Mendon Road and they are wonderful, but I found them a little expsnsive. My son only went two half days (9am - 1pm) and it was $299 a month. It was a great experience for him and the staff was wonderful. All of the teachers have 4 year degrees in Early Childhood Develpment and each classroom has 10 kids at any given point and have one Teacher and one teacher assitant. They start at 3 years and must be potty trained.
My next son is going to Four Corners Early Learning, they have a higher student to teacher ratio but is set up more like a classroom. Cherry Blossoms is very homey, but 4 Corners is individual classes and has 18 kids per class with one Teacher and one Teacher assistant. A little less expensive though, 3 half days (9am - 12 noon) is $210.
Hope this helps.
