From the first day there they all knew my sons name and made him feel so welcome. I would recommend this center to anyone who is looking for an excellent daycare/preschool facility. I had a bad experience with a prior daycare and was nervous about putting him in a new one (it took me over a year to pull the trigger) but I was only nervous that first day. When I see his smile at the end of every day it reassures me that I made the right choice.

We began our experience with this learning center 2 years ago and we couldn't be happier with our…read morechoice in this daycare. The teachers are compassionate, patient, kind, accomodating, and overall extraordinary. We feel safe and confident leaving our 4 year old and twin 1 year old girls in their care. Their curriculum is beyond compare--they take extra steps in providing fun yet educational care for our children. The extra offerings like cooking class, phonics, and soccer training (not to mention their awesome summer program) are just added bonuses. The director, Heather, goes out of her way to touch base with us about our children's progression and provide us support. She and other staff have been a great support/reference for us as parents, providing us information and feedback on parenting tricks and child behaviour (and letting us know that we weren't crazy when we had home issues). They truly know and understand children. We feel that our son is already ahead of other children his age that go to other providers and will be well prepared for kindergarten. We really can't say enough good things about this center. I should also mention that we drive almost an extra 30 minutes, passing many daycares (including another Kindercare) just to come to this excellent learning center. We highly recommend this center if you are looking for the best choice for your child (ren).

We went into this place thinking this was the best choice for our child seeing it is not for profit…read moreand seemingly loving teachers. What went wrong was the apparent lack of training for the teachers and very much incompetent director. A few months after we have enrolled, 1/4 of the staff quit. So we began this reduced hours since then and no end in sight. There are a lot of little things that added up into bigger things, to the point that we felt we can no longer trust her to have our child's best interest in mind. If your child is a toddler, make sure he or she is perfectly behaved otherwise you will get endless incident reports and get a sit down talk to come up with a plan for 30 days, just to get an email a week later on a Saturday and threatened to be dismissed. Maybe the board of directors will do something about this as we had a meeting with one of the members. But in the meantime go at your own risk.

We just moved into the area with no family or knowledge of the community. Some of the most important things I looked for in a child care center was the hands on activities, outside play areas and the teachers involvement in their development. I have not been disappointed! The amount of diverse cultures they learn from their teachers and the little walks to the center of town have been a huge bonus! The hard thing is my baby girl is growing up way too fast I'll have to handle another transition faster than I'd like. But that's life!

If you have no experience with children, you should be in another field. They do not feed the children like they should be. If a child is sent with four bottles and a full lunch, tell me why four full bottles and a full lunch were returned to the parents. They do not care about the children at all. All they care about is that paycheck at the end of the week. They yell at the children and punish the children and have completely unproffesional work habits. Nothing is seem to be done by the books and they are causing more damage then learning. Singling kids out and making them feel like they are not part of the entire group is just not okay in my opinion. Children should be able to be children and enjoy being around friends but when people like this group of ignarants are in charge, the kids cant even be themselves. This place needs to be looked into and shut down otherwise more kids will continue to suffer.

Montessori Discovery School, located in Norwich, CT is an oasis in a desert of school systems…read morestruggling to connect with their students. I consider the discovery of this gem one of the most fortuitous findings in my lifetime. MDS melds the Montessori philosophy with their unique perspectives to create an ideal environment that nurtures their students, instilling in them the passion to learn on their own. Students develop the skills to funnel their natural curiosities into a solid method for learning- students are not so much taught new ideas and concepts- they are given the tools and the guidance to do this on their own. This basic foundation for acquiring knowledge is essential and will serve the students well into adulthood. Students also learn to interact with each other in a respectful manner. The most stunning thing you will notice if you view a school in session is just how quiet the classrooms can be. Students are also taught skills such as cooking, cleaning, and other household tasks as a way of developing personal responsibility. My son has thrived in this fertile environment. I am thankful every day that he had the opportunity to attend such an innovative and creative school.

Not only are they unfailingly kind and patient, their team is deeply compassionate.

And on the first (very emotionally charged day: for me, my daughter was thrilled to meet new people), they were more than understanding and encouraged me to stay as long as I needed. I am so grateful to this team and feel so fortunate that my baby is getting the love she deserves there!

After doing some research, I decided to give them a call. The person I spoke with, Kathy, was very helpful and explained all of the options available. TVMS teaches to all levels of students- from beginners to advanced musicians. They have a good number of teachers to choose from, and they offer lesson times during the week and on Saturdays. Lessons are given at Connecticut College in the Cummings Art Center. Students have the opportunity to use the College's resources, which include individual practice rooms (all with Steinway grand pianos). TVMS schedules several student recitals during the year where students have the opportunity to play in front of an audience, something that all students need to become comfortable with. The cost for lessons is a bit higher than what you may find on the outside- however, I feel the cost is definitely offset by the quality of the lessons and all of the extras that are available to the student. I highly recommend TVMS for anyone who is searching for a music teacher- especially for those who are more serious in their intent.
