About us
A Home Away from Home
Our Philosophy:
At our daycare, we believe in creating an enriching environment where every child feels safe, loved, and valued—truly a home away from home. Our philosophy centers around the idea that learning through play is essential for a child’s development.

Through playful exploration, we foster creativity, curiosity, and a lifelong love for learning.

Family-Centric Approach
As a family-owned daycare, we understand the importance of building strong relationships not only with the children but also with their families. We are committed to maintaining open lines of communication and encouraging parental involvement. Regular family events, holiday pot luck yearly art show, end of summer party, and opportunities for feedback ensure that parents are an integral part of our community.

Community Connection
We believe in the power of community and strive to create a supportive network for our families. By connecting with local resources, organizations, and businesses, we enhance the learning experiences we offer and provide families with valuable support. This includes bringing in Soccer Done Right for our soccer program, offering a dynamic karate program, and working closely with Infinity Music Program located in Southington, as well as other partners. Together, we ensure a rich, well-rounded environment where children can grow and thrive.

Learning Through Play
We recognize that play is the most natural form of learning for young children. Our curriculum is designed to be engaging and interactive, allowing children to learn essential skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and emotional intelligence through hands-on experiences. We provide a variety of activities that cater to different learning styles, ensuring that every child can thrive.

Infant Program Schedule
Understanding that the transition between home and school can be challenging for infants, we have designed our infant program schedule to closely mirror home routines. This thoughtful alignment helps ease the transition, providing a sense of familiarity and comfort for both infants and their families. Our caregivers work closely with parents to ensure that feeding times, nap schedules, and daily activities reflect each child’s unique needs, fostering a smooth and supportive experience.
