Cadence (formerly Anna & Jacks) went through some growing pains during the ownership transition, but now that the dust has settled the changes have been overwhelmingly positive. The new Director is fantastic--warm, communicative, and clearly passionate about creating a nurturing and enriching environment for the kids. She and the staff truly go above and beyond. The teachers are all wonderful--caring, engaged, and genuinely invested in each child's development. It's clear they take pride in what they do, and it shows in how happy my kids are to go to school each day. From jiu-jitsu and Spanish to soccer, music, art, and more--there's always something fun and educational happening. The staff also puts so much effort into making each day special, with creative events, seasonal celebrations, and little touches that make a big difference. They also provide food which is HUGE for a working mom of 3! Would highly recommend it to any family looking for a warm, safe, and engaging place for their little ones to learn and grow!

From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed into a warm and caring community. The teachers are beyond fabulous--nurturing, creative, and deeply invested in each child's growth and development. The director is incredible: thoughtful, approachable, and always going above and beyond to ensure a safe, enriching, and joyful environment for the kids. The sense of community among families is strong and supportive, making it easy to build lasting connections. SCCNS also offers an amazing variety of enrichment activities that made every day exciting for my children--music, art, science, outdoor play, and more. Our experience there was nothing short of exceptional, and I feel so lucky that both of my kids had such a wonderful start to their learning journey.

Bright Horizons is a money hungry, corporate entity (owned by Bain Capital). Teachers are very…read moreunderpaid and unhappy so the turnover is very high. Notice all their teachers are either really young or "older". I think I spent more time in the doctor's office with 6 ear infections in a year, RSV, you name it and so if you do the math, the time lost from work does not justify the cost. My child would come home with other children's clothing, bottles, utensils, etc. I can only imagine what he was being fed onsite. One child was stabbed by another child with scissors and it took a very, very long time and appeals to corporate headquarters to get this child (with a history of violent tendencies) kicked out. So also if you have 2 children, there was no sibling discount. Director was stalking me to send the 2nd child (almost 4K a month). I took it up to the Regional Director and it took ages for them to even get back to me. Finally they got back to me and said it was 5%. Insult to injury. If you do the math, it was equivalent to private college tuition. Hmmm, considering I lose a week a month to illnesses, I think it's not worth it. Then 2 more moms having second children left. After I left, I heard they lost a flurry of teachers plus their director. Not surprised. They need to really do something to make the Wilton community trust them again. Wilton moms have more negative things to say than positive. You'll pay a premium to send your child there but you will not get premium care. What they need to do to improve is to slash overall tuition for everyone and hire a director that really cares about the children and the teachers. Help the teachers love their jobs and then they will love the children. Hire detail oriented teachers. Sanitize the facilities better. Stop being so harsh on their teachers and show the parents that they are not greedy, corporate entities but a daycare that really cares.

I've experienced MUCH better and for less the tuition cost that this center asks you to pay for…read moreapparent quality. The presentation of this school is good at first until you really start to familiarize yourself with how it operates. You walk in and in amazement see all the colors, the framework of the facility, all the big smiles and happy hellos... and if you are lucky you may actually see their Director there once in a while. I have only been there about 6 months and I have already withdrawn my child from this "school". The teachers, though seem loving of the children, complain constantly about their management and how they are treated. They make mistakes, not small ones, big one regarding safety of the children. One fed a baby milk with a bad milk allergy, another child was exposed to a stranger visitor without parent consent, they do not check licenses when someone picks up a child (even though they are good about needing a form). One family left abruptly while there, one teacher did, one regional manager as well and now myself along with two families are in the process of looking to transfer our kids. I cannot tell you how many countless times my child came home with someone else's clothing on. There are some things you expect from day cares and other things that are simply not appropriate in nature... the fact you are told y ou can give feedback and ask questions only to be countered with stories/excuses etc is the worst customer service Ive ever seen! Do yourself a favor and save the additional $600 a month and apply it to your child's bank account for college. Paying more and having a branded name of BH, most definitely does not guarantee you quality of care. Their lack of overall leadership at the center level and at a regional level when you file complaints is an outrage and utterly disgraceful. It's a very very sad situation when you are a parent and come to learn what the atmosphere is actually like there when they spend over 6 hours a day with these people.

We've been here since August 2011. My oldest daughter loves her teachers, all the activities, art,…read morereading and outside play time she gets. My toddler loves her teachers, being outdoors and singing songs. The staff is knowledgeable, caring and (for the most part) long term employees. My girls have the same few teachers day in and day out and the schedule stays the same with teacher(s) every AM and the same in the PM. I love the consistency of knowing who is with my girls every day. I also love all the creativity in activities, themes and lessons that are provided for the older kids! In the evening when I pick up my toddler all toys that have been "mouthed" by the kids are air drying on the counter after being cleaned. The facility is owned and run by two sisters (Palmira and Maria) who are on site every day. They split they day so one of them is there from open until close. I appreciate having the ability to ask a quick question or give an update directly to the owners for things like health care, forms, etc. They spend the summer months going through their supplies, games, puzzles and the facility while the enrollment is lower due to summer vacations and eliminate anything that might be missing pieces or damaged, replace and repair whatever can be that they haven't caught along the way and doing the minor repairs and upkeep necessary to keep any facility of this kind looking clean. This was appeal ling to me while I was visiting the site in the summer of 2011. They also have plans to expand a covered porch area for the younger kids to be able to get some fresh air even when there's snow on the ground. I also like that they are involved in the scholastic book club ordering for the older children and St. Judes Trike-a-thon and the MDA Hop-A-thon. It's made sharing lessons of charity, caring for others, and "paying it forward" staple conversation in our house. I have experiences with 4 different daycares thanks to changes in our circumstances (family expanded, job requirements, etc). and I'm extremely happy with this choice. I just wish they were closer to my home! The one drawback and that may be because of last years unusual wet season - there are a lot of mosquitoes and my oldest is a magnet! This year we'll be using a skin-so-soft sunscreen combo to try to prevent bug bites. Hopefully with the dryer winter this won't be an issue. FYI Parents provide as appropriate: Sleeping materials (sheet and blanket and lovey) All meals and snacks sunscreen (must apply at home in the AM, center reapplies later in the day) change of clothes diapers, wipes, diaper cream/powder bibs

The years of teaching experience of the owner+ teachers got our attention so we decide to check out the school. We were met by a warm friendly environment, Ben (the owner) immediately connected with the kids and wanted to learn everything he could that would foster a better experience. They've got a great outdoor space, and very attractive curriculum offering dual language and the tuition is very decent compared to others in the neighborhood. What's not to love? I registered at my second visit though I later decided to let my son stay a little while longer at his current daycare till I work out other factors like commute and work schedule. This would normally be a problem since I already made the payment to secure him space but the management was very professional and offered me a refund without any troubles. I highly recommend this daycare and will definitely consider at a later time.

She has been attending full-time since November but it feels very much like home to her already. The owner and staff are all incredibly responsible and caring, and treat my daughter like one of their own children. She is learning a ton, having fun, eating yummy and nutritious foods, and making friends (not to mention- they are helping with potty training- yes!) I especially love the staff's daily updates and proactive communication. OWL is an exceptionally well-run school and we are lucky to have found them!

My two have thrived socially and intellectually while at LNB, and really enjoy coming to school every day. It's also a fairly small facility (I think it's 8 infant, 8 young toddler, 8 older toddlers and 16 preschool) - which we really like because our kids feel comfortable and safe here. After going through all of the classrooms, my kids are now in their first year of preschool there, and we have been really impressed by the curriculum. Included in the program are several field trips and other special events. I have no doubt in my mind that they will be more than ready for Kindergarten when the time comes.

Not potty trained the summer before Primaries, please go elsewhere. Doesn't stand in line, maybe needs more discipline and structure at home. They paint a picture of this warm welcoming environment and we fell in love with the idea of Fraser but the reality was so disappointing. There is a huge lapse in communication from the administration, they do not communicate with each other or the parents. The teachers are amazing and lovely. There are people in positions who should not be there.

After many happy years at our previous school, many changes were made that put our daughter (and…read moreus) in an extremely difficult position - constant bullying, overcrowded classrooms, lack of admin support - so I'd been looking for a better option. We knew some staff who had left when things started to go south a few years earlier. So when we learned they were now at FWM, we made an appointment to visit. Long story short, within a few weeks we had transferred our daughter to Fraser Woods and are relieved to share that she is not only happy and healthy, she's thriving again! I'm not exaggerating when I say this school and the community that's in place here may have saved her life. Everyone she's connected with to-date - from the Head of School to other admins and staff, teachers, assistants, families and her schoolmates - has been unwaveringly supportive and helpful. To a person, they have been consistently honest, straightforward, kind, and have helped to guide our daughter out of a very serious episode of depression and anxiety. It's been years since she's been excited to go to school, but FWM made it happen again (as a middle schooler! I didn't think that was possible!). She's made some great friends from lovely families, and is excelling in sports and academics again. We are incredibly grateful to have been accepted so quickly and completely by this community, and to see our daughter rediscover the confident, happy kid she'd been before. While we haven't been at the school long, it's clear this is a great fit for her, and for our family. We cannot recommend Fraser Woods enough! Don't take my word for it though, go see for yourself and you'll understand why I feel this way.

Bridgeport Hope School is a good academic school. I had 3 of my children all graduated from BHS,…read moreand I've seen remarkable growth in his/her academic performance and character education. The teachers are very attentive, fostering a nurturing and supportive environment where students can thrive. It's a small school, they have limits and a lack of resources like a lack of sports. However, the school truly prioritizes every child's well-being, both academically and emotionally. My kids didn't learn drugs or substances. Never experienced violence. Teachers watched them and intervened for the kinds of provocative situations. We got enough for what we paid for. Overall, it was a good decision for our kids.
