Schools near East Granby, CT

“We love the teachers at Building Blocks East Granby! Our daughter started here in the infant room when she was 5 months old. I was so nervous for her to start daycare, but the team at BB has made the transition so easy for me. I know my daughter is safe and having fun. Ms Blanca and Ms Lexi in the Infants room were amazing! My daughter has now moved to infant 2 classroom recently and Ms Breanna and Ms Alexa have also been so amazing! Thank you BB East Granby for all that you do for our family!”

“My family has been at the East Granby Kindercare for over a year now and have loved every day of it! Coming from utilizing in home care to on sight childcare was a very anxious decision at first but EVERY teacher we have had here has been fantastic! So loving and committed to the development of each child. I feel so safe knowing my kids are in loving hands everyday. I feel each teacher takes the time to understand your child as an individual and caters their learning towards them.The curriculum has far exceeded my expectations and the advancement of my children’s education since joining has been increíble to watch.I could not recommend this center more!!”

“I went here for four dance recitals. It's a very nice place and the stage was a great size to accommodate all the dance numbers . I'm glad the studio had the recitals at this location ?”

“We found Valley preschool after an extensive search and a bad experience at another preschool. After meeting the teachers and touring the school, I knew my son would be in good hands. The teachers are so warm, patient and knowledgeable. The classroom environment is fun and positive, and the themes/activities are constantly changing so your child will always have something new to learn/discover. It’s everything I could ask for in a preschool and more.”

“It is a bittersweet feeling as our fifth and youngest daughter finishes the K-Prep program at Bright Horizons at Hall Blvd. Our family has had a child enrolled at Bright Horizons since the fall of 2008, when our oldest daughter was 2. Over the past 14 years, Bright Horizons has become like a second home to us, and the staff and other families have truly become like family to us. We feel so fortunate that we chose this child care center, and we will miss it dearly.I always feel so secure knowing that my kids are safe and in such good, capable hands when they aren’t with me. The staff is always ready to make tearful drop offs easier, and provide such comfort when separation is hard - for both kids and parents! The facility is very clean and bright, and communication with the teachers and administration is excellent. My children built such strong, loving relationships with so many staff members. It is truly heartwarming to see.Where Bright Horizons really shines, however, is in the preschool and K-prep programs. It was in these programs, specifically, that we saw each of our daughters really develop socially, become more independent, and gain a love of and curiosity for learning. There is just the right combination of structure and play time such that the kids are challenged, engaged, and happy. My 4 year old beams with pride when she hands in her simple “homework” assignments, and is so excited to tell me about her new “class job”. It is little things like this that gave my children a valuable sense of responsibility and independence. All of our children have graduated from Bright Horizons so prepared for Kindergarten, both socially and academically. My daughters’ kindergarten teachers have oftentimes commented on just how prepared my daughters were when they entered their classrooms. I can easily say that in terms of Kindergarten preparedness, Bright Horizons is second to none.Another great thing about Bright Horizons is how well the staff gets to know each child. My children are all very different, and the staff consistently addressed and catered to each one’s strengths and needs. The K-Prep teacher actually went to a book store and picked out a book for each child as a gift at their graduation. The books were unique and special to each child and showed just how well the teacher knew each child.The staff is kind, compassionate, and understanding. I believe this starts at the top, and the administration team is nothing short of amazing. They continually go out of their way to help families, and we cannot thank them enough.After having five children go through all the programs at Bright Horizons at Hall Blvd, I would recommend it without hesitation. It really has been one of the best decisions we have ever made for our family.”

“I really cannot say a negative thing about our experience at Bright Horizons!We’ve been so happy (and still are) with everything from communication, the facility, and of course—how happy our 18 month old is! She is progressing developmentally as well! Someone is always willing to speak with you, in detail, regarding any concerns/questions you have whether it’s over the phone or when you’re there at drop-off/pick-up. We can’t wait for our next child to enroll in the future.”

“All I can say is...WOW! I wish my parents sent me to Montessori when I was younger. I have my Master's Degree in Nursing Education which is a huge achievement for myself and my family. Seeing the curriculum today with Ms Jessica totally put everything into perspective for me. My perspective after curriculum night: Teaching children by theory like I was taught growing up is ok for some kids. But those who want to understand hands on go to Montessori. Montessori teaches kids with physical objects,hands on in addition to theory for a greater in depth understanding of the lessons. Watching the demonstration of the curriculum I was in awe of this specific way of teaching, and absolutely amazed with the methods taught as I know my daughter learns best with hands on Education.”
