“I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Day Care Center of New Canaan. My almost 4-year-old has been there for the past year, and the transformation I’ve seen in him is nothing short of incredible—truly night and day.

When he started, he was struggling with significant behavioral challenges that I’m certain would have caused others to give up. But they never did. Not once. Instead, they met him with patience, understanding, and unwavering support every single day.

The director, Ms. Barbara, and my son’s head teacher, Ms. Melinda, have truly changed my son’s life. The care, dedication, and heart they pour into their work is beyond anything I could have hoped for. Because of them, he is more confident, more regulated, and so much happier.

Every single teacher at Day Care Center of New Canaan has been kind, compassionate, and truly invested in the children. It doesn’t feel like just a preschool—it is a genuine partnership in raising and supporting my child, and that means everything to me.

I am endlessly grateful and cannot recommend this school highly enough. It has made a profound difference in both my son’s life and mine.”

“Today we attended their egg hunt event ($15 donation) and as a first-time visitor, I was pleasantly surprised by the visitor center and all that the nature center seems to offer. The egg hunt started a little delayed but it's a lot of work to fill those eggs for so many kids. What I appreciated was that they had a smaller grove area for kids younger than 4, my son was so happy with collecting his eggs. The prizes in each were great! They also had arts and crafts tables while we waited. Thank you for a lovely event!”

“Incredibly friendly staff, gorgeous views. Lady at the welcoming center was very nice and knowledgeable. Tomi at the tea tasting was the best.

Good food at the eating area.

Family friendly, would take my kids here if I had any”
