Thank you for making our lives so much easier when she attended here.

There are also after kindergarten programs if you'd like your kindergartener to have a full day of school. Prices are very reasonable considering the level and quality of the programs here. The teachers are great, and the teacher to student ratio is excellent (3 kids to 1 teacher in the 3 year old program). The entire facility is very aware of childhood allergies, and if your child has a sensitivity of any kind, it is addressed. This is great to keep in mind. Fortunately, my kids aren't allergic to anything, but I understand what a challenge this for other families.

We were excited to start our son at Bristol Child Development Center, especially since we had such…read morea great experience there with our daughter. Unfortunately, our experience with our son was very different. After Christmas break, we noticed a significant change in his behavior and attitude. There were several incidents where the school reported that he ate breakfast or lunch, but when we asked him about it, his answers didn't match what we were told. He would say he didn't try certain foods because they looked gross or that he didn't like them. On one occasion we were told he ate most of his breakfast, but when we asked what he ate, the response was that he "tasted a few things and drank extra milk." To us, that does not sound like eating most of a meal. It made us feel like the food communication was not accurate or that staff simply weren't paying close attention. Our son also reached a stage where he no longer wanted to nap. The school reported that he was crying, whining, and being disruptive during nap time. There was one day where he was so upset and crying during the entire two-hour nap period that the teachers and director were messaging and calling me about it. Not knowing what else to do, I ended up picking him up early. When I arrived and picked him up, I noticed a red mark very close to the corner of his eye while we were standing in the hallway. When I asked him what happened, he told me that he hit his face on what he called the "bad boy couch." This incident had not been reported to me by any of the staff. Concerned, we even brought our very tired four-year-old to therapy to make sure there wasn't something deeper going on. We were told his behavior was completely age-appropriate. What concerned us most was how the situation was handled by the classroom teachers and administration. Our son began coming home saying his teachers didn't like him, that they didn't talk to him, and that they ignored him. One day he told us that Miss Kaitlyn said she didn't want him to come to school because he cries too much, which upset him and made him cry even more. When we brought these concerns to the director, Miss Pam, we felt completely dismissed. We were essentially told that our son was the problem and that the teachers "would never say that." At no point did we feel that our concerns would be addressed with the teachers. Each time we raised an issue, the response was that they "go above and beyond" for him, without any acknowledgment of his feelings or attempt to work with us on solutions. This experience made us feel like the staff simply didn't want to deal with a child who needed a little extra patience during a difficult phase. Ultimately, we decided to remove our son from the daycare. I would not recommend this center unless you have a very quiet, easygoing child. We were disappointed that the administration did not try to resolve the situation or show concern for how our son was feeling.

Additionally, tuition is raised each year and they have gotten rid of the "Men and Women in the Workforce" discount. Staff are constantly being turned over or shuffled around. The list goes on and on. Look elsewhere!

The director and the teachers truly love their job. Prior to Covid, I was able to come into the center and nurse my baby. I saw firsthand how well the infant teachers handled their kids. They were all held and attended to as if they were their own. We now have two kids in this center. Their Covid precautions are strict, but we feel safe and clean here. My toddler son is learning so much at the discovery preschool level, much more than I would have been able to expose him to. It truly is like a play based school before school. Only cons are high teacher turnover, but this is common in other daycares from what I hear.

I enrolled my highly intelligent child into KinderCare based on their curriculum. I terminated my…read moresons care after 1 month. I witness on 3 different occasions a less than ideal tone used with my toddler. I also witness him being off on his own on one occasion very sad. I asked him what was wrong and he said he felt alone because the kid had taken a toy from him. Meanwhile the teacher was on his cell phone (Seen a lot of that when picking up my toddler). At 1st I didn't say anything as I am overprotective of my child, but his other parent went to stop by mid day with some lunch and over heard the teacher using that same tone. Immediately we had a group meeting and the teacher apologized and stated that she was a bit stressed due to a behavioral health child acting out in class, and she took it out on my toddler and the other children, I am still wondering what that had to do with my child?!?? Or why this teacher wasn't given some assistance. I also asked how many times does this happen, as the director continued to use the behavioral child as an excuse to the behavior of the staff. My child was removed immediately. Nothing is worth my child's well being. These teachers and directors need to meet these children where they are. If they are in need or talking you should bend down to their eye level to console them or understand them so you can assist them with care. My son said he was scared to go into the school on his 2nd day. I assumed he was hesitant with a new place and would adjust. I was wrong!!!!! I feel like I also failed my choke because if I had listens to him after day 1, I should have save him the exposure of mental, emotional and verbal abuse!!! i beg any parent that loves their child not to drop them off at Scott swamp RX in Farmington ct.

Not a school that I recommend. My 2 children went through…read morethis school. My oldest was there for 3 years and youngest for 2. My older one did fine, no problems. The teachers and directors were always super sweet to us. But when my younger son was 2 years old the school had no idea how to handle age appropriate negative behaviors. Some 2 year olds can be challenging but instead of trying to help, they instead tried everything to get us to leave the school and transfer him out. I would pick him up every day and his diaper and pants would be soaked and I would ask "how come no one changed him?" And consistently I would get the answer "he refused." Ummm a 2 year old refused to change their diaper and you are ok with that? Same thing with food. He would not be given his lunch but everything was thrown out daily. Their attitude towards us changed completely. No more sweet, helpful teachers and directors. It was just a very uncaring situation when a child becomes a little challenging. But if your child follows all their rules and never gives any problem (like my older one), they will do fine. We switched my younger one to Joni's down the street (I was hesitant because the building was older and cramped and I hadn't known much about that school). But I am so thankful for the switch. He did amazing and he thrived there with their love.
