The Tobin School & Tobin Afterschool: Inspire Top Customer Rated School for 2026

With the results of the March Parent Survey, we are honored–and so appreciative–to share that The Tobin School & Tobin Afterschool were jointly named an Inspire Early Education Top Customer Rated School for 2026. With an overall Net Promoter Score of 95, there were only three Inspire programs which received higher scores in this survey.

In addition to this honor, and some goodies for our faculty at 73 Cottage, both Lori Davis and Lisa Carraher were included in the most recent issue of Inspire Insights, May 2026:

“At The Tobin School, Lori Davis focuses on transparency as the foundation of trust. Her team ensures that families are consistently informed through detailed daily updates, photos, and conversations that provide real insight into each child’s experience. She underscores a critical truth in this work: when parents are not given enough information, they will fill in the blanks. By prioritizing clarity and proactive communication, her team works to removes uncertainty and allows trust to develop through shared understanding rather than assumption.”

“Lisa Carraher, Director at Tobin Afterschool & Summer at Tobin, adds another important dimension to this work: empathy. She describes outstanding service as being friendly, approachable, and overall happy to be present, while taking the time to truly know each family—remembering details, following up, and engaging in conversations that extend beyond the classroom. For Carraher, empathy is not an added layer to the work—it is central to it. She describes it as the team’s superpower, the ability to understand both the challenges and rewards of parenting, and to stand alongside families as they navigate them.”

We can’t thank all our Tobin School & Tobin Afterschool families enough for their trust in us here at Tobin and for providing their feedback during this process.
