I bought a groupon for two for paint night and my boyfriend and I had an amazing time! I originally…read moreasked to book for a wine glass painting class but Sarah mentioned on the phone that since there weren't a lot of people signed up that the class might get cancelled. She was very helpful on the phone and told me she would call me early the week of the class to let me know if it was going forward. Sure enough it was cancelled but she was able to place us in a painting class that Friday. The class was crowded but the instructors were great about going around each group to make sure we were following along and answering any questions we had. The class lasted about 2 hours and it went by very quick. It was tons of fun and we can't wait to go back! PS: Parking lot fills up fast but there's plenty of on street parking.

My wife and I LOVE Surreybrook School; our son goes there. The staff is very friendly and seem to…read morelove their jobs. They always seem to be doing something fun with the kids, and seem to put money back into the school to upgrade facilities and activities. They are a little on the high side in the area for tuition, but you definitely get your money's worth. They are the only school that I know of that teaches Spanish, Chinese, yoga, etc. Our son LOVES going to school, so the money is definitely worth it.

Surreybrook is an amazing place for children and families. My son has been at Surreybrook for 2…read moreyears now and I have never had a negative experience. He started at 15 months old. They make sure your children are safe, educated, and have fun. The staff at Surreybrook love what they do and they are like family to my child. I am so grateful to have found Surreybrook. Compared to other daycare/preschools in the community, Surreybrook is by far the best! I have an older, school age child who tried 3 different school in the community and none of them came close to the quality childcare & education Surreybrook offers.

We looked around for the right daycare when our daughter was young and then waited in a list to get…read moreinto Explorers. We feel we made the right decision. Our daughter loves it there and has made so many friends. She has been going there since she was an infant and is now in the 4s. I am tough to please and they have always answered any questions or calmed any concerns I may have had. The teachers there are excellent. I love their nature based program and now the STEM program. Just last week she told me the months of the year with excitement. Some days she comes home a mess with paint from an art project or from playing outside. They are always reading to the children and encourage the love of books. We would recommend Explorers to anyone looking!

My son has been attending WCC for the past two years (since age 7 months) and I am thrilled with…read morethe experience we have had in both the Infant and Toddler rooms. Why we picked WCC - The HOURS! 7:30am-6:00pm! It was very difficult to find anyone open early and late enough for me to commute and handle traffic. Working 8-5 this availability is amazing. - The calendar - This center is only closed for major holidays and doesn't have any vacation weeks that you are still paying for. Cancellations or delays for inclement weather are also less than some centers (typically following the Woodbridge Town closings). - NAEYC Accreditation - Standards of this accreditation are strict and requires continual assessment. I wanted to know my child would be in a place that was implementing best practices and a process of continual quality assessment. - Rates and availability of part-time programming - Rates are competitive and the part-time programming I needed was available at the time of enrollment. - The environment - Our first visit felt comfortable and welcoming - and a bit old school. Why we stay at WCC - All of the reasons we enrolled continue to be relevant - Staff keep getting better and better! Each teacher offers a different skill set to complement the team and demonstrates how much they care about their work and my child every day. - Communication with teachers and the Director is excellent. Even at the end of the day, or during busy times, no one is ever "too busy" to discuss my child. The week's activities are always posted in the classroom so I can take a peek at what's coming up in the curriculum. - Enrichment programs - included in the daily curriculum are partnerships with the Woodbridge Library (next door), JumpBunch, and more. - Location - the playground and surrounding grounds offer a beautiful environment for outdoor play. The police station is adjacent to the center and their proximity gives me great peace of mind. - Parent Board - the Center was created by parents who work for other working parents and that hasn't changed. The Board is active, open to feedback, and ensures parents with children at the center always have a voice. We look forward to more years to come at WCC. I highly recommend anyone in Woodbridge or the surrounding towns look here if you are in need of a high quality early childhood program for your child(ren).

Unfortunately, our experience at Bunny Village in Bethany was deeply concerning. My daughter was…read morebitten multiple times by another child, and one of those incidents was intentionally not reported to me. A staff member later admitted she kept it quiet because she was afraid of getting in trouble. Even after giving them a chance to improve, the biting continued. When I expressed that I was looking at other daycare options for safety reasons, the director told me we should "part ways." My daughter the victim was the one pushed out, while the child who bit her stayed. This level of supervision, lack of transparency, and unfair treatment of my child was unacceptable. I've filed a formal complaint with the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood. I would not recommend this facility to any parent looking for a safe, trustworthy environment.

What a wonderful day care! My son learned so much from all of the teachers there, and they treated…read morehim like their own. He formed special bonds with each of the teachers, and as a mom, I never had to worry about his care during the day. My son came home with projects he worked on all the time, and there are special themed weeks each month for the children to participate in. The extra special effort and thoughtfulness for both the children and the parents are what sets this place apart from others. I would definitely recommend this organization for any family!
