We did so much research on finding the best daycare for our child. A daycare that is close to…read moreStamford downtown, clean, has oversight, open contacts with the parents, and loving and caring professionals. Our child has been enrolled in over 3 years now and tells us that they would love to go during the weekends. They have made a loving impact on the one person I care about and to me, that is all I can ask for. Mikey is a great mascot that the children love to play with during drop-off an pick-up. Alex is also very caring and helpful during all hours and days of the week. They have also supported us during stressful times, especially COVID. They stayed operational while other daycares closed for months. This was greatly needed, as we are full-time working parents and Alex and Mikey made us feel safe with leaving our child. We have no idea what we would have done if they had been closed. I cannot stress enough how amazing this place is. Love SCDC!!!

As a parent, I'm really surprised to see a bad review and very sorry for the bad experience…read morementioned in that review. Hope that parent has good luck to find another place suits her needs. According to my experience, the director Alex is very professional and responsible on her work. I think She manages the daycare very well. My children both started from toddler and I'm very happy with the teachers here too. The children have breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack in the daycare. So I don't have to pack lunch for them. Also, they are less picky here than they are home. They learn letters, numbers and sciences during morning. After lunch, they take a nap. Usually their teachers spend a lot time and energy to sooth them so they can fall asleep (if you ever try to put a young child to sleep, you know what effort that takes). I really appreciate the teachers' patience. Generally speaking, I'm very happy with the daycare and highly recommend it to all my friends.

Having a son who has severe ADHD, not everyone is equip to handle him but everyone here is so kind and so patient! I could not ask for a better place to have put my child.

The curriculum is exactly what you would want your child to learn. they will keep your child engaged and having fun! Ms. Ruth and Michele (director) have been phenomenal and I am so happy that we decided to go with The Learning Experience in Trumbull! I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the center or the workers. I HIGHLY recommend this center. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

The St. Paul Christian school has been such a blessing. We have had 3 graduates and one still in…read morethe school. My three older children were so well prepared for kindergarten. Not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The teachers are all so kind and loving. The director and office manager are so helpful and have an open-door policy if you ever have any concerns or questions. One thing that I think is great is how they deal with conflict. A child is not put in a time out chair. They work with the children on conflict resolution having the children express their feelings and how better to solve their issue. The theme that surrounds each day at St. Paul Christian School is love and kindness to all. The community of parents are the most down to earth and kind people. I urge anyone who is looking for a preschool to check it out and bring your little one in too. They have 1's-kindergarten. They started a new EARLY 2's program which is great for ones you feel may be on the young side to start too.

We had no idea that the school would very quickly come to feel like a second home to our son and a second family to the rest of us. The teachers couldn't have been more creative, stimulating and nurturing in their teaching, and our son grew more academically AND emotionally/socially than we have ever thought possible. We are so grateful for the time and energy spent by all to help our son transition to a new school and to welcome our entire family to a new community. It was such a tremendous experience that we have now decided to not only keep our son there for his kindergarten year but also to enroll our daughter in the 3's program. We are thrilled that we have more years left to enjoy and participate in the gem that is St. Paul!!!!

I would NOT recommend this preschool with the current director in place. I can't say enough about…read morethe teachers they are absolutely amazing, however if there are issues in the classroom the director does not remedy the situation in the proper manner. Their handbook states : BEHAVIOR POLICY It is our goal to provide a safe and nurturing environment at GCP. We work together with parents to help children develop inner controls to develop appropriate social behavior. Teachers use positive reinforcement, and redirection, along with instruction in classroom rules and the modeling of appropriate behavior and manners. Children are reminded of the school rules and encouraged to think of appropriate ways to express themselves. In order to keep children safe, GCP cannot allow hitting, pushing, shoving, biting, spitting, kicking or other aggressive behaviors that are harmful to a child themselves or to others. Multiple infractions can result in intervention by the Director and/or parents. If aggressive behavior continues, the preschool will request one or more of the following: 1. A parent may be called to pick up their child from preschool 2. A parent may be requested to accompany the child to school and remain in the classroom to prevent the aggressive behavior 3. Parent(s) may be asked to keep the child home until the behavior stops I can tell you from first hand experience that they do not follow their behaviour policy. My daughter had another child's hands around her neck, hair pulled, and snacks stolen by the same kid and to not deal with continuous weekly issues I had to move my daughter from that class to ensure it didn't continue. The director then told another parent, that the reason I had her moved was because I have "anxiety". She does not know how to talk with people and basically accused my daughter of saying one thing at home and another at school. This was an ongoing issues with other children in the class ... so we must all be lying? Due to all the issues we had we decided to pull her out for the 24-25 school year. They have a no refund policy for the deposit of $1000.00. We understood that there is a no refund policy however considering how they handled the situation, we asked to meet us half way. The response: "We do have a no refund policy unless it is an emergency ( death in the family, someone loses their job, a family moves away etc)." We asked to speak with board, a meeting was set up with the director and 2 individuals that were not members of the board. She must not understand that it is public record and I was able to find out who the president was and sent a certified letter to his home. All they provided was a "We would like to offer you our summer camp program free of charge." Well its not free of charge cause I gave you $1000.00 deposit. Beware of this preschool, many families have left and I'm sure all for good reason . They certainly do not follow their Christian values that they preach constantly.

The facility itself is immaculately clean and well-organized into engaging learning areas. The classrooms are bright, cheerful spaces filled with toys and activities that promote creativity and growth. In my opinion, what sets Carousel Daycare apart is the attentive staff. The childcare providers are nurturing individuals (looking at you Ms. Stacey and Ms. Janet) who clearly enjoy working with children. They form close bonds with every child and cater to each one's unique needs. The kids always seem happy. Our little girl also enjoys Spanish lessons (Hola senorita Cathy) I wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional daycare.

My son got attached to his first teacher within a week and wanted to buy a Christmas gift for her after being there just after a week. I recommended Tutor Time to lot of my friends and fortunately everybody had great experience. Teachers always welcome children in their classroom in the morning. If I am getting late in the morning, then my son usually tells me - Let's go Mommy, I am going to miss all the fun. Miss Jen and Miss Joanne, directors at Norwalk Tutor time, are very proactive. They are planning different themes for summer camps where children will learn about different countries and their cultures. I am really excited about it. They are working really hard on it to make it a success. I really appreciate all the hard work everyone put together and really happy with my child's personality development.

If you want a school with a classroom that truly enriches kids without rotating teachers (I've seen up to 6 teachers in my sons class periodically) , active communication and detailed curriculum activities in the app they use..do not go here.

Picking them up at the end of the day, I would hear…read morestories about all the exciting things they did: what they learned, what books they read, what song they practiced, what games they played outside with their friends, what art project they worked on after school and so forth. Our experienced teachers really knew kids' personalities, their likes an dislikes. They kept close track of their progress in each aspect of Montessori curriculum and customized learning for them when needed. The school is a very safe and nurturing place with talented staff (after-school program is one of the best I've seen) and rich traditions. By the way, their celebrations are simply amazing! They remain among our most precious memories from that time.

My son started going to Montessori Children's Room (MCR) at 19 months and we loved this school, and…read morehe seemed to as well. When he was about to turn three this past September, he moved into the 3, 4 and 5 year old class. That is when they noticed he had a hard time sitting still and focusing. He was about to age out of EI (Early Intervention) and start CPSE (Committee on Preschool Education), which would mean the therapists that were approved (Speech, SEIT and OT) could work with him in his classroom environment. However, MCR does NOT allow ANY therapists in this school to work with children who have been approved to receive it. So, we were left with no other choice, and had to scramble to find a new school in the middle of October of 2018. Not an easy task considering that most were already full by that point. Luckily we found a school that my son adores. It is a play based, loving and nurturing environment, that is so in tune with nature and outdoor play. I guess everything happens for a reason, and we were very fortunate to end up where we are now. MCR does wonderful things with the students, my son learned a lot in his time there. Their holiday show and graduation are amazing as well, along with their camp. That said, Montessori is not for every child, especially a child that requires therapy of any sort. What bothered me about our experience is how they didn't give me any feedback of his behavior in the baby class (NK) prior to moving up. We did have parent teacher conferences twice in the school year, but they never spoke about how he was disruptive, couldn't focus or sit still. Had I known this was going to be an issue, we could have looked for other schools before he started in the toddler class. The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth, as we felt forced out of there in a way. In closing, I debated on whether or not to write a review about my experience with this school. However, I recently learned the same thing is happening with another child there, so I wanted to give other parents a heads up before you consider going to this school.
