“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 have had a wonderful experience at the Rocky Hill Kindercare for almost 20 months now. The leadership and staff are extremely caring, thorough, and responsive. Ms Nikki in pre-school is doing a fantastic job across the board and our son adores her.”

“Words can’t describe how grateful we are to be a part of the Work And Play family! From their incredible teachers to their play-based curriculum, this school is top tier in early childhood education. Our daughter has loved her experience so far and we cannot wait for our son to start in the future!”

“I cannot say enough good things about our experience at TLE. Everyone there from the teachers all the way up to the administration has been extremely helpful and caring, and take care of my kids like they are their own. My children have been at TLE for a little over a year, and the amount of growth that they have experienced in that short time is unremarkable. They were previously at a different daycare corporation and I regret not moving them here sooner. I have no doubt in my mind that my kids will be more than ready for Kindergarten next year.”

“I was very skeptical about daycares but the learning experience has completely changed my mind in a positive way! The staff is extremely helpful,friendly and caring My son loves his teachers and has learned so much while being there I am truly impressed. He is always happy and calm during drop off/pick up time. Which says a lot about the daycare and staff. Overall, I would always recommend TLE South Windsor to any parent.”

“My son (who is autistic) started a few months ago and warmed up to the ladies right away. Didn’t take long for him to run inside and hug all his friends and teachers and memorize everyones names. That’s huge because he’s not a social kid and doesn’t like new settings or people. The teachers are just the loviest people and you automatically feel welcomed. The fact that my son gets so excited when he knows he’s going to daycare gives me such peace of mind and makes me a little emotional (in a good way) because we’ve struggled with other daycares in the past. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I really wish I brought him in sooner. Highly recommend Kindercare in Newington!!”

“KinderCare in Manchester is a great daycare. One of a kind , the staff is some of the best. I have had 2 kids who have went through this center and I couldn’t be happier. Anyone who is looking for a daycare I highly recommend KinderCare Manchester always. I am super sad that my daughter will be moving on to Kindergarten in September as this center is like family. Especially Miss Fiona (director) and Miss Beth (assistant Director) they are awesome. The staff knows the family’s names as they come in the front door , the kids always have smiles and which this one is a huge one for ME the kids are LOVED like their own. This center by far is the best.”

“My toddler Ovi started going to TLE when she was 1 year old. Thank you so much for the wonderful care you provide to my child at daycare. It's truly heartwarming to see how much Ovi have grown and learned under TLE, Wethersfield. Thanks to Mrs. Swapna, Ms. Abby, Ms. Destiney and Ms. Britney and all the Lovely staff of TLE who is always welcoming and so much caring towards the need of all parents and kids.I couldn't be more grateful to have TLE as a part of her early development journey. I appreciate how they go above and beyond to make sure every child feels safe, happy, and engaged every single day. It's incredibly reassuring to know they're in such capable and caring hands while you are away. Thank you for everything you do!"”

“Our daughter, Brooke, goes to school here and we have peace of mind that she’s getting a great education! The childcare industry has struggled with teacher turnover in recent times but BH@VP has done a good job overcoming those challenges.”

“We have had an incredible with Goddard! While the curriculum and facility are both phenomenal, my favorite aspect is how wonderful the faculty and staff are to our daughter. She LOVES her teachers, and it’s clear in their attention to detail and actions how much they care for their students. The faculty and staff are constantly going above and beyond to ensure we get whatever support we need. I highly recommend Goddard.”

“My son attends this KinderCare location and he loves his teachers so much. As a mom who has recently returned to the workforce I enjoy seeing the updates throughout the day. Thank you for all you do!”

“A wonderful daycare center. The teachers are amazing, they do tons of activities with the kids every day, learning time, outdoor time, and you can tell that they all really care about the kids. The app is great to get updates throughout the day, and the teachers do a great job communicating with parents. We are so happy to have found this daycare!”

“My daughter started attending Cadence Academy when she was 6 months old and stayed there for a little over 2 years. We fell in love with how caring and communicative the teachers and administration were there. Not only did we get daily updates from the app they used but we also got detailed reports of how she did each day during pickup. This helped soothe my “new mom” anxiety and give me peace of mind. My daughter quickly became very comfortable with her teachers and was able to learn and thrive academically and socially at Cadence. We loved that there was a new curriculum each week and our daughter loved all the activities she got to do and all the friends she made in class. Unfortunately, we ended up moving right before she started Pre-K but we will always miss the staff at Cadence! They really treated my daughter like a member of their family and even made her a beautiful goodbye poster on her last day! I would highly recommend Cadence to any parents who not only want to ensure their child is safe and well-cared for but who also want a place where their child will grow, learn and thrive in a positive environment!”

“I am 10 yrs old and I've been here since Pre-K and this school really is the best school I could ask for and the teachers over there are really kind and Respectful, Responsible and safe. (Love this school)”

“My 4 year old has been with Goddard since Fall 2023 and will be graduating from pre-k this June 2024 and will participate in the school's summer camp.We're very happy with our experience at Goddard so far. The building and classrooms are in great shape, it's clean, and my daughter's eacher is great at communicating with us about her needs. The children get to play outside every day, weather-permitting, and the curriculum allows for structured and unstructured play.We like thr ease of pick up and lock up and that the building doors are secure and require a face to face check in at front desk in order for door to be unlocked.The school also provides opportunity for soccer with a third party but on school grounds. It's an added fee but I like that my daughter can participate in soccer at the same location as her school and we don't need to have a hectic schedule after school.My daughter's vocabulary and ability to count higher as improved since joining the school and she is now able to perform simple addition and subtraction on her own. I feel that Goddard has helped her prepare for kindergarten. Highly recommend this school.”

“My daughter attended all six weeks of camp this summer and loved every minute of it! The variety of programs and fantastic staff made this one of her all time favorite camps. The lunches were also delicious. She made some great new friends and learned a lot of new things. We will be back, thank you to Sheri and all of the staff at camp KO!”

“We looked at several preschools and hands down found exactly what we hoped for and more! My son is a busy guy and I had some concerns for him getting ready for kindergarten and his teacher makes sure he gets the learning experience he needs but also the importance of learning through play. Our family has had some changes and challenges and Ozlem and his teachers have been helpful, caring and compassionate to help guide my son. The school has great supplies and environment to help foster learning for all different learning styles. I know my son is well taken care everyday. The pet therapy rooms help children in so many different ways. I am grateful for the love, education and kindness my son received everyday at Rainbow Center?”

“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.”

“Both of my sons have had the privilege of attending LET at Newington. The teachers were caring, patient, and always had a smile ready for the kids. My boys developed a strong bond with them, which was truly heartwarming to see. The teachers go above and beyond to cater to the individual needs of each child, which is something I greatly appreciated.”

“SWCDC is a wonderful learning program for toddlers and preschoolers. All the children get the individual attention they need and the teachers focus greatly on each child's independence. They have beautiful outdoor playgrounds and the kids get to grow food outside in Nature's Classroom! This is a spectacular place for all pre-k kiddos! My twins couldn't be happier!”

“The best director I’ve ever seen, Amanda goes above and beyond to make sure every student is well taken care. My son goes here, Amanda understands his needs and wants also she makes sure his teacher knows how to properly care for him while i am not there so we both are comfortable. She treats her staff like family there is no other place i would rather work!!”

“One of the best early education centers in. Hartford. Outstanding teachers, state of the art building, full time nurse on staff, new STEM learning lab. So professional and so caring!!”
