Schools near Bethel, CT

“We can’t say enough great things about Bethel KinderCare! Our son started when he was 4 months old and has attended for about year. He absolutely loves it there and squeals with excitement every day we pull into the parking lot. His infant and toddler teachers, the directors, and staff have all been absolutely wonderful, compassionate, and supportive. The frequent updates on feedings, diapering, naps, activities, and photos help us feel connected to our son and confident he’s being well cared for while we’re apart. The facilities are well kept and nutritious meals (breakfast, lunch, and snack) are prepared every day.Bethel KinderCare is a comfortable, fun, inclusive, and safe place for our son to learn and grow every day. We’re so fortunate to have found such a great daycare so close to home!”

“Cadence has been such a blessing for us!! They took us in in October and made this frantic Momma a sane person again! I was shocked and impressed at how quickly all the staff knew Penelope by name. My daughter has shown such a difference since switching schools and has made such great friends. I can't express enough how amazing it feels as a mother not to have to worry every day that she won't get the care, attention and education she deserves.We are very excited for summer and Kindergarten but MOM is very nervous to leave such a wonderful place that has felt like home.xoxoxo”

“TLE is the best! The staff is so kind and caring. It is such a relief as a parent to know I am dropping my baby off with people I can trust and rely on. Thank you TLE!!”

“We absolutely love Heart to Heart Daycare and have been going here for the last 5 years, since my daughter was seven weeks old, and now my son currently attends. This daycare is a 25 minute drive out of the way and I pass several other daycares along the way, but Heart to Heart has my heart and I would never choose another daycare!

Mr. Dan (owner) goes above and beyond to teach the kids not only the curriculum, but manners, how to appropriately socialize, and have fun! The staff organizes field trips about once a month to farms, the wolf sanctuary, museums, dentists, aquariums, zoos, hibachi, etc. and they provide the bus for transportation to these events. They organize family picnics, family dinners, an art show, egg hunt, Mother's Day and Father's Day celebrations, end of year graduations, talent shows, and always holiday parties… you might even meet Santa! They also offer parent-teacher conferences twice a year. This daycare is very convenient as it opens at 6:30 AM and closes at 6:30 PM which is a huge help for working parents who spend most of the day away from home. They rarely ever close for snow days because Mr. Dan lives right up the road and will always open the door for you, especially when you are in a pickle. This daycare is also reasonably priced and he allows you to choose a school schedule according to your personal family needs.

Mr. Dan ensures that not only are the kids happy at school, but the entire family is included, and the parents are also happy. There is a huge garden for kids to grow vegetables, they hatch chicks and butterflies and ladybugs too! Heart to Heart daycare also has a live camera to put parents at ease and I find myself checking in to watch my kids several times a day! I would never choose a daycare without camera access.

They also have multiple playground areas, go outside at least once a day, and have water play during the summer season. My children love going to school every day and cry when I pick them up at the end of the day. There is NOT ONE BAD THING I CAN SAY about this place and that means a lot when you have to leave your children in someone else's care. I absolutely adore Heart to Heart daycare and highly recommend!”

“I cannot say enough great things about this daycare. From Mrs. Mary to all the staff and the owner Mrs. Penny, this is an amazing place! The difference and influence they have had on my son is incredible. As a first time parent I was very nervous when I decided to enroll my son into daycare but now I am so happy that he goes here and wish I had done so sooner. He is so happy when he goes here and has developed so much. The staff here truly care about the children. I can see how happy they make my son and how happy the other children are as well.”

“We love Cedar Gabels and have enrolled both of my children. The staff is extremely caring and attentive. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, and there are plenty of activities and educational activities offered. I feel confident leaving my children in their care and would highly recommend Cedar Gabels to other parents.”

“Our two babes have been at Children's Academy since September and we have been thrilled with our transition. The kids are happy to go to school, they have developed strong relationships with their teachers, peers and administrative staff. My three year old comes home teaching us new songs (affirmation song, months of the year, days of the week, etc). The staff is attentive to the kiddos needs and go ABOVE AND BEYOND with their thematic weekly units with developmentally appropriate activities (sensory bin, open-ended play, show and tell, keepsake worthy arts and crafts). These are memorable learning experiences that will set the foundation for their educational career.Oh and did I mention they get to play outside because there is an outdoor space? The staff is always looking for ways to create positive learning experiences for the kids (i.e firetruck came to the center, farm animals, Halloween parade, etc.) They are also VERY receptive to feedback. We are so grateful for Children's Academy.Special shout out to: Ms. Nancy, Ms. Rebecca, Ms. Angel, Ms. Tiara, Ms. Monica, Ms. Safia, Ms. Gabbi, Ms. Lindsay, Ms. Kate, Ms. Laura for taking such great care of our babes as if they were your own <3”

“My daughter is almost 2 years old and has been with them since infancy. This team is amazing; they go above and beyond to do their best for all kids. They are very open in addressing immediate concerns, which helps parents understand questions and concerns to discuss during pediatric visits and take immediate actions. The idea that the person who cares for your child when you are not around takes the initiative in their role as parents' eyes, voice, and ears adds so much more to the quality, love, and care that anyone would want for someone looking after their little ones.I truly recommend to all parents to consider them as a choice❤️”

“Could not say enough positive things about Goddard Brookfield. We switched our infant daughter from another day care two weeks ago and the level of care and attention from Goddard is incomparable. The curriculum, even in the baby room is so impressive. I feel a sense of relief every day at drop off knowing she will be in a fun learning environment. The level of communication is excellent, the teachers are incredible and the children are happy.”

“We have had our 3 year old daughter at Almost Home for most of her life. We have found all of the staff to be caring, responsible, responsive, and most importantly they absolutely love the kids. We have always felt our daughter is safe and well cared for at almost home. And the hours are great for working parent. We would recommend Almost Home to any parent!”

“The Goodard School is hands down the best facility for my grandson. When I moved here from CA in Jan 2023, I got custody of my grandson May 2023. I visited several facilities, one being a Kindercare (he was enrolled in CA) I was concerned he would have a difficult time transitioning.First day, he fell in love with his teachers, was the helper in class, and always received positive feedback. The parents all care and considerate and everyone knew (was called the Mayor)The activities offered on site like Karate, Soccer & Petting Zoo is amazing and affordable. The staff are so caring, genuine and considerate. The respond immediately and always provide great feedback.Facility is always clean, stimulating and welcoming! I love this place!”
