Schools near Guilford, CT

“We highly recommend KinderCare Guilford. Our daughter has attended since she was about 6 months old and they truly treat her like part of their family. We have complete peace of mind knowing she is safe, happy, and so well cared for each day. The infant and T1 teachers are wonderful and made our transition feel comfortable from the start. Ashley has also been fantastic with communication, always taking the time to answer our questions and address any concerns. We’re so grateful for the care they provide and would absolutely recommend them.”

“After two failed placements at other daycares, my daughter started attending Wee Care in October and it was a breath of fresh air. She is so happy when we drop her off and all of the staff members are welcoming and helpful. The director and assistant director are the best ! We are so happy that we found Wee Care and can’t imagine being anywhere else.”

“We love TLCC! Our son is a year old and has been going since he was about 4 1/2 months. They help made the transition so easy, even with him starting so young. I was able to call and check in whenever I needed. We love the teachers, my son is so happy every morning when I drop him off and it make my whole day a little easier. Communication is great and I love that they use an app so I know all about my sons day. I also love the arts and craft projects they do with the kids (even the infants ?) and send home, they are so cute!”

“Northford Preschool Academy is truly a hidden gem in the Northford community. From the moment you walk through the doors, it’s clear that this isn’t just a preschool—it’s a nurturing, imaginative, and inspiring learning environment where children are genuinely excited to learn.

The staff, led by Jaime, are passionate educators who deeply understand child development. They go above and beyond to create engaging, play-based curriculum that not only teaches foundational skills but also fosters creativity, independence, and a love for learning.

They also incorporate enriching activities like music, art, and even yoga, which my child absolutely loved.

Communication with parents is excellent. As a mom with kiddos with a lot of medical issues I could feel safe with my babies here. I always felt informed about what my children were learning and how they were progressing. It’s also evident that safety and well-being are a top priority.

Overall, I can’t recommend Northford Preschool Academy enough. If you’re looking for a preschool that combines creativity, structure, and compassion, this is the place.”

“We enrolled our three children at Learn and Play in September 2025, and I truly cannot recommend this school highly enough to anyone looking for exceptional care for their child.

The school and all of the teachers have been absolutely incredible. Erika, the director, is wonderful—so kind, pleasant, and accommodating. Just today, she offered for my children to attend on a day they don’t normally go to make up for a snow day earlier this week. That level of flexibility and thoughtfulness is something we never experienced at the corporate daycare our children previously attended. What I appreciate most is how everyone feels like family and how the staff consistently goes the extra mile.

Our children have absolutely thrived here in every way—educationally, spiritually, and emotionally. To Ms. Carly, Ms. Christina, Ms. Kamir, Ms. Sandy, Ms. Michele, Ms. Sara, Ms. Ladell—and even the teachers who aren’t directly in our children’s classrooms but still know and love them—thank you. We are so incredibly grateful for your dedication, care, and genuine love for our kids.

Wednesday morning chapel is a highlight of the week for our children. They love gathering together to sing and learn about Jesus. Soccer on Thursdays is another favorite—Coach Shane is a huge hit!

Learn and Play has truly been the biggest blessing for our family. We are so thankful to be part of this community.”

“Both of my children attended the Kid’s Center from age 2 thru preK. They had the same teachers which I appreciated as a parent for expectations and consistency. They were taught many valuable academic, social, behavioral, and emotional skills that have allowed them to be very successful in elementary school.”
