When you walk through those doors, you and your children become part of the Helen King Reynolds family that lasts far longer than the time your child is there.

From the moment I stepped into Helen King Reynolds, I knew it was the right place. I can now say for certain that choosing HKR was one of the best decisions my husband and I have ever made. It has provided Matthew with a happy, safe, nurturing and intellectually stimulating learning environment, and with highly skilled, educated, dedicated and loving teachers. Now in his second year, my son continues to blossom socially and intellectually. He is self-confident and is so excited about learning. He goes to school happy and comes home even happier. Helen King Reynolds has been a great gift in our lives -- a wonderful beginning to my son's educational journey.

More than four years later, both of our children are now part of the program (Preschool and Infant/Toddler) and love it there! One of the crucial elements we sought when reviewing childcare options was safety - and I appreciate the care and attention implemented to make sure all students are well protected at all times. Our children feel loved for and cared for by the amazing staff! Their school readiness curriculum is wonderful, taking the time to teach students the essential skills to prepare them for Kindergarten - and beyond. Hands-on programs, engaging activities and events bring their curriculum to life - and we look forward to hearing about everything our children did each day! Highly recommend HB!

My child, who is now 2 years old, has been coming to Honey Bear since she was 6 months old. She has…read morebuilt such a strong connection with all her teachers. They taught her how to communicate when she was very young with sign language and now, she is blossoming with her language skills. She was required to wear a helmet at school and was in physical therapy prior to starting Honey Bear. After much collaboration with her physical therapist and teaching staff, Infant and Toddler teachers adapted to her needs and helped her graduate from the helmet and physical therapy. As a staff member who works at Honey Bear, I have not only seen my child grow, but I have seen many other children grow through the love and compassion of qualified teachers and staff, who make us feel like a family.

This daycare is probably the most caring and involved childcare center you could find in the area…read more My daughter started coming here when she was about 5 months old. As a first time mom, I was hesitant to start going back to work and to have her start going to daycare. Mrs. Luni and her wonderful staff set me at ease when I would leave her and I knew my daughter was not only in great hands but also learning and making new friends. I have watched my daughter transition into each classroom as she got older and adjust to her new teachers. Each staff member has always been attentive and have gone above and beyond to let me know how my little girl is doing while I'm at work. As a first time mom, it's so important that you trust the people that watch your children and also work with them to really provide your child all the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. I am so thankful to Creative Minds for being a pivotal piece in my daughter's development and for working with my crazy-obsessive mom requests ( "How much did she eat?" " Did she sleep okay?"). I remember for my daughter's second birthday, Melissa, the assistant director, let my daughters father and I use their break room during my daughter's naptime to start wrapping her gifts and preparing for her birthday party at the school. They even offered to help us and took pictures of the party for us. I have very few regrets in life and one of them was taking my daughter out of the school for a short period of time. When I moved to Westport I had taken my daughter out and placed her in Pumpkin Preschool of Westport. After three months, we came right back to Creative Minds because of how unhappy my daughter was in that horrible school. ( Please do not send your kids to the Pumpkin Preschool of Westport!! they care more about their money than they do about your child's well-being and care). I know better now than to ever make this mistake again. As soon as my daughter started going back to Creative Minds, it was as if she never left. She was smiling again, she remembered the friends she started with in the infant classroom, and we got to work with Luni and her wonderful staff again! Grateful is an understatement for what I feel about everything the daycare has done for my family and I. They have taught me on a daily basis how to be a better mother and to be the best mother I can be to my little girl. There are such wonderful daycares in the Fairfield County area and I'm sure that some of them may do some of the things that Creative Minds will do but if you want a extraordinary care, a daycare you can look at as an extended family for your child's most important years, Creative Minds is it. -Cece

I say this considering Quality: - of the facility - classroom environment - cameras in every class room - app to get daily reports on your child's activities - the customized daily schedules made for children @ all ages.

This daycare has got to be one of the worst daycares in the history of daycare. The woman who owns…read morethis daycare also owns another one in Norwalk. She is a terrible business owner...i.e. does not return phone calls or e-mails, does not follow up on parents' concerns, and does not hire properly trained staff. I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with those people at both locations. I did not know she owned the Norwalk location until after my child was enrolled and started to notice the same issues. They do not have the system to notify parents of weather related closings, you have to watch the news to figure it out early in the morning. Sometimes, they do not notify the news people until late by which time I'm already on my way there. I have made it there twice only to realize they closed. The so called administrator calls your child by last name as if she is in the military. They allow the children to hit each other back. If a parent ever complain to the administrator, she goes back and tell the teacher who then looks at you funny and won't acknowledge your presence. The Norwalk location (bright beginnings academy) is not a sanitary place for children. There is almost never any hand soap in the bathrooms, toilet paper is sometimes kept on the toilet's water reservoir or it's on the floor. Some of the teachers do not encourage children to wash their hands. On so many occasions, I had to make sure my child's hands and face were clean before leaving the premise as it was not done from lunch time. Oh did I mention that you also have to beg for your receipt once you have paid your weekly contribution...don't even mention getting your tax document! Do yourself a favor and stay away from those people. If you care for your child's wellbeing, go somewhere else, even though they charge less than the average daycare.
