The drop off and pick up is extremely easy and secure, you can't get in the facility without a code. Also during the day you will have the ability to see your child via a live stream, it really gives you peace of mind. The staff provides numerous updates during the day via their app. At first I was uneasy placing a 3 month old in daycare, but it was necessary due to remote work requirements. The baby has been there for a week and loves it, easy transition, and we are comfortable leaving here as well. They provide all the supplies, formula, diapers, wipes, and food which is included in the tuition. Amazing value for the working parent. Kids look happy! Highly recommend.

With summer ending, I wanted to write my experience with Hudson Country Montessori School…read more As a mom of a 3 and 2 year old, who went through the pandemic and had trust issues with daycares or "strangers" caring for my kids, I can't thank HCMS enough for the amount of peace and reassurance they've given me. Everyone there is just absolutely lovely and such beautiful people. They have shown my children so much love and care. My daughter is a Velcro baby, meaning she's a literal baby koala. I can't thank Alexa, Rose, and Renee, in the infant room, enough for holding her when she wanted to be held, as long as she wanted. She then moved up to the waddler room, with new teachers, but they are as amazing as the infant room teachers. Sara, Susan, Chelsea, and Rebecca are literal angels. I just can't thank them enough for everything they've done for my daughter and us. They took such great care of her this past year. My son started in the toddler 2 room with Ms Mimi, Graciela, and Kristie. We absolutely love them! They're all such sweethearts! Ms Mimi is so good with the kids! She knows exactly how to take control of her class, which are all toddlers! Touché to her! Ms Mimi is also so loving and caring. I really couldn't have asked for a better school for my children. They've learned so much while being there and they've made such amazing friends and connections. I also love their security! It's gated, and you need a special passcode to enter the school. Although my children have only had the teachers listed above, everyone in that building is so friendly and welcoming. Ms Carmela is in charge of the toddler program, and she is just so amazing. She takes her time to meet families and hears any concerns you may have. If HCMS was on your list of schools to check out, go with it! You won't regret ever enrolling your kids there. It's a real Montessori school, filled with loving, hardworking, respectful teachers. You'll really see your children bloom into such smart, independent, loving, little people.

My younger son blows us away with the things he knows! Even our pediatrician was amazed at his vocabulary at 18 months! I would highly recommend this childcare center!

THIS IS THE BEST SCHOOL!…read more I am fortunate to have a unique perspective of The Children's Center as I am both, a parent of a one year old who attends the infant room, and the lead teacher of the toddler classroom. As a mother, I want my child to be given the best opportunities to learn and be nurtured day to day. The ache of dropping your precious baby off can be unbearable, but I have never had a day where I questioned his care. He is given so much enrichment through his teacher's careful lesson planning to evolve his skills through meeting critters like a porcupine! The smile I see on my son's face when I open the car door, revealing the school behind me- says it all. As a mother I am beyond blessed to know that my son's teachers are as invested in his education and safety as I am. As a teacher who has worked in the early childhood education field for over 12 years, I can assure you that this school is by far the best place for your children. The teachers are educated, kind, and passionate. The administration is unbiased, hard working, and always go out of their way to support anyone who needs it. We are a nonprofit school, not a corporation who cuts corners to make an easy dollar like most other schools do. Early childhood educators come to work each day because we love children. We enjoy giving them the tools they need to emotionally, socially, and educationally become incredible humans. Our love pours out of our doors and into the community every day. We volunteer our time to the senior center, GOAT Days, art center, and much more. We think that giving your child the best chance to succeed early is very important and we would very much appreciate the opportunity to help your little ones thrive!

Cindy and all her teachers were wonderful with the children. The only thing I can say about not receiving phone calls is that it can get pretty hectic with all the kids, teachers, parents, etc. trying to speak, pay their bills and collect all their children's supplies / projects. It is unfortunate that not all of the applicants aren't accepted. I can only suggest you give it a try, and hopefully your child will enjoy it as much as my granddaughter & her parents did.

She…read morewasn't enrolled, however, because of the poor management and organization of this establishment. After a tour of the facility back in April for September enrollment we informed Cindy we were interested and she said she'd provide the paperwork to sign up. I gave her the benefit of the doubt after not hearing anything for weeks as I assumed the end of the school year through June would be hectic. I then reach out via email and hear nothing for a few more weeks. After three weeks, I finally receive a call from Cindy informing me the spot had been filled as she was waiting to hear from my wife and I regarding the enrollment. Are you kidding? If that were that case, then why not reach out to us before filling a spot? Why not provide a simple call or email or anything? She says it was our fault for telling her we needed to think about it during the tour as this was on her notes. I can assure you she took no notes during our visit nor did she even remember my child's name when she called. As you tour the facility and speak to Cindy just ask yourself is this person organized? Is the place well run? Again, I can't speak to the care of the children here, but, after this experience I will be sure to keep away. I don't trust a disorganized person to manage the care of my child, the most precious thing in my life. I'll search elsewhere. You might want to as well.

I wish I could give them zero stars. I sent my children to…read moreCountry Kids for a year and a half. Unfortunately, Cadence Education purchased Country Kids during that time and turned it into an incredible mess. I am aware of 4 other kids in my children's classroom who switched to the Goddard School in the last month. These are my reasons for our switch and why I would NEVER recommend Country Kids Cadence Education. 1. The Cadence administration does not care about the teachers and some of the teachers seem extremely unhappy. It felt upsetting to leave my children with a teacher who seemed visibly angry and unhappy. The head teacher for my children often did not say hello to my children when they arrived or acknowledge they were dropped off. She seemed extremely stressed and upset on a daily basis - not a great fit for a room full of three year olds. I do not blame this teacher since it was clear she was not being supported by the Cadence administrators running the school. On one of our last days, she was the only teacher in the room at drop off with approximately 15 children and she was on the phone trying to get help from someone in the office. 2. The teachers repeatedly complained to me that they do not have the support they need from the Cadence administration to properly take care of the children. There are not enough floaters so kids can't be taken to the bathroom if they have an accident. On 2 occasions when my 3 year old had an accident. I was called by the teacher and asked to come to the school due to not having a change of clothes. When I arrived, there was an available change of clothes and my child had been sitting in her soiled pants since the call was made 30 minutes earlier. The teacher informed me that the office was not answering her calls for help, they did not have enough teachers to help my child get cleaned up, and that my 3 year old should be able to clean herself up after an accident. 3. They are unable to retain teachers as employees. In a three month period, four teachers that my children were familiar with quit and told me they were leaving due to how awful Cadence treated them. On our last day at Cadence, a teacher confided to me that Cadence has recently hired a high school student who did not seem qualified for the job. 4. From age 2 until 3 1/2 my children switched rooms 3 times. The teachers in each of these rooms never helped my children to clean their faces (or guide them how to clean their own faces) properly after lunch and my kids would have food all over their faces each day when I picked them up at 5:30. This meant they had ketchup and other grime all over their faces for hours while they slept and played. 5. The teachers repeatedly told me that my children's room was supposed to have direct access to a toilet in the room and mentioned it was against the state guidelines that they did not. 6. The teachers and administration do not communicate with the parents about upcoming events like parent-teacher conferences, theme days, or if my kids took a nap or anything specific about their day. All communication about a child's day is copied and pasted for each child in the room and no individual details about my children were shared through their app. 7. When we decided to stop daycare with Cadence and move them to Goddard, Cadence assured me of the final amount I would be charged. They then overcharged me and have not provided me with a refund or a final accounting. Speaking with anyone by phone or any of the teachers is a constant chain of blaming each other and then blaming the overall administration. Due to these issues, I strongly discourage parents from sending their children to Cadence's Country Kids in Brookfield.

Rozetta, Felicia, Chris and Diane are all amazing with my son, caring for him as if he were their own.

He has flourished while under their supervision and is even starting to walk early.. They are on top of safe sleep and AAP recommendations for illness, introducing solids and overall feeding so I never have to worry (especially as a first time parent). They have a 3 to 1 ratio in the infant room which is better than anywhere else I've seen. I toured many facilities before choosing Country Kids and am very happy with my decision, as is my son. Additionally, they have handled everything from COVID-19 to a week-long power outage this year with great leadership and clear communication. They are taking health safety very seriously and I have been very happy with the steps they've taken to keep our kids safe.
