Overall a good child care center, love that there are cameras and an app to check up on my child throughout the day!

I enjoy the way they bring the curriculum to life through various activities. Communication with parents is also very good.
Emily R., Darien

The staff and directors are amazing and so attentive towards my child’s need!! Can’t thank them enough for their hard work!!
Elias N., Darien

My daughter enjoys the setting and the teachers. We also can tell how much she is learning. She’s excited to share what she learns when she comes home.
Lauren B., Darien

I feel like my child is learning… it’s not just babysitting.
Nikki G., Darien

Classroom setting is very well kept. Recess/outside play could be better managed. More snacks & instructions for eating with utensils and drinking out of cups so kids can do it at home. 2 naps instead of 1. Longer meal times.
Muntej S., Darien

The teachers are some of the most compassionate individuals that I’ve come across. Those teachers are in their own class.
Kristina S., Darien

The school offers age appropriate curriculum that makes learning fun and exciting for the children and the teachers are so sweet and caring.
Kelly G., Darien

Great staff!
Claire B., Darien
