At our preschool and childcare center, we believe in creating an environment that is filled with smiles, laughter, and warm faces to make your little one feel welcome and excited to learn. We understand the importance of building a strong foundation during the early years of a child's life. That's why we provide a nurturing and stimulating atmosphere that encourages children to explore, discover, and grow while building trust, confidence, and self-esteem.

As a leading preschool and childcare center in Branford and Wallingford, CT, we are committed to providing the highest quality of care and education to our children. Our core values of kindness, mindfulness, and positivity are at the heart of everything we do. We strive to create a culture that promotes respect, tolerance, and empathy towards others, fostering a sense of community and belonging.

Daily Enrichments Including Specialized Music Instruction, Art, and Community Experiences

We believe that every child deserves access to high-quality enrichment programs that promote their cognitive, social, and emotional development. That's why we offer daily enrichments including specialized music instruction, art, and community experiences with in-class visitors such as firefighters, dental hygienists, and magicians. These enrichments are included in tuition, ensuring that every child has an equal opportunity to learn and grow.

Mobile Parent Communication App

We understand that parents want to stay connected with their children throughout the day. That's why we use a mobile parent communication app, Tadpoles, that allows parents to stay informed about their child's daily activities, receive photos and videos, and enhance peace of mind. With Tadpoles, parents can stay connected, check in with the teacher, and get updates on their child's eating and sleeping habits.

A Place Where Kindness is a Part of Your Child's Day

At our center, we prioritize kindness and mindfulness. Our teachers model these values, maintain the culture of the school, and show children how to practice them within the classroom. We provide hands-on activities where mindfulness and kindness are practiced daily, such as arts and crafts and outdoor play. We believe that these values are essential in fostering a positive and supportive learning environment.

Ready for Kindergarten

Our teachers make sure that your child is ready for Kindergarten by assessing their lettering, number recognition, writing skills, and basic comprehension. We ensure that your child is fully equipped and ready for Kindergarten by focusing on developing their social skills, such as following directions and interacting well with others.
