Country Children's Center is a daycare with several locations in the Katonah area. My son attended…read morethe Farm location for about 6 months before leaving to start nursery school this fall. There are a lot of really great reasons to recommend CCC. There are also some places I think they could improve. The best thing about CCC is the staff. My son was in the twoddlers room mostly with Mary Kate and Florence and he received wonderful care. They do projects and play. They bring the kids outside as often as possible. They really care for the kids and you can feel it upon entering the room. I can't say enough good things about all the teachers I met at CCC. CCC also has pretty good hours for working parents and flexibility in pick up and drop off times. This is the thing that I appreciated most about the Farm. My son was always with a teacher he knew and a few other kids to play with when I collected him. The size of The Farm is both a strength and a weakness. They're predictable and always staffed appropriately. Coming from a smaller daycare that is a real plus. However, the size also leads to broad rules to accommodate a lot of people. The meals are generic. The kids get special attention in their rooms but to the organization of CCC they are one of many. The weaknesses for me are in the price and in communication. We pay over $1500/month for three days a week of care. As with everything you get what you pay for and I think my son receives excellent care. He's always happy at pick-up. However, I would expect a push towards organic and local foods and nutrition instead of fish sticks and the like. They also ask parents to bring a 5 pm snack. That snack time causes issues at dinner time in our house. I try to provide a healthy snack and I would just say no but I don't want him to be the only kid without one. In regards to communication, CCC just needs to get with the digital age. The parents of their kids are from the digital generation. They still communicate mostly via paper and since my son isn't there Monday or Friday, we don't get our sheet until Tuesday morning. Then I'm scrambling to purchase a t-shirt they requested be brought in or something trivial. They could just email or text the classroom parents. They send an email with a daily roundup, that would be a great opportunity. Sorry for the lengthy review but I know when I'm looking for childcare, it's so helpful to hear from other parents.

I don't know what I would have done without CCC. Their dedicated, professional staff and their…read morewonderful program gave me the piece of mind while I worked, knowing that my child was safe, sound and happy. Thank you!

My son started at CKS in November of 2018. We were pushed out of a Montessori that we were in b/c…read morethey didn't allow therapists in to work with their students (he was aging out of E.I.). This was a few months into the school year, so I set out to find a school ASAP. I toured two others in the area, most of the schools I tried were already filled. Luckily I was able to get a hold of Ester who is the owner, and runs the school. I think upon hearing my situation, she took sympathy on my plight, and was able to get my son in. For that alone I will forever be indebted to her, but also for creating this incredible environment for every child that is lucky enough to attend school here. My son has thrived here, has made some great friends, and the parents are all great too. It is family run, and some of her kids work there, or have worked there. The staff is excellent too. They're all just so sweet and kind, the children and parents love them. They have chickens, two baby sheep, and a tractor to go for rides on. They're very big on outdoor play which I really LOVE - no matter what the conditions are (sans wind). They do sports in the morning to get the kids going, and they love it. The teachers make home cooked meals for breakfast and lunch every day (it is a nut free environment). Not having to think about what I am making my son for breakfast, snack, or lunch five days a week is a life saver. It also helps knowing its homemade and healthy. It is truly a remarkable place. They're also up to date on the times with everything they do there from the books, the toys, to activities and even their app for the school - Brightwheel. It gives you updates, pics, and videos of your child's day to day school life. You can message the school within the app and vice versa. This school is a magical place, and if you are ever able to send your child here, consider yourself hitting the preschool jackpot. My son literally asks me to go to school on some days when he is not there. It's that good!

As good as it gets pre-school, made for working parents! I was initially considering sending my…read moreson to other 3's/4's programs in the area when we moved here, with only 3-4 hour days, summers off --- which would have required hiring a sitter/nanny. I am so glad I didn't assume that a daycare model pre-school wouldn't be as good! . I don't know how he could have learned any more over the past 18 months -- he is reading, speaks some Spanish, has learned great social skills and how to be a good friend, etc. And he eats the daily homemade food, trying all kinds of food he won't try at home. Coming from NYC, we never thought we'd end up at a family owned daycare, but we could not be happier we found CKS. The director/owner is wonderful, and her team a mix of her family (son and husband), as welll as fabulous, warm teachers who seem to really WANT to be teachers and are educated as such. My son is very ready for Kindergarden!! And for working parents, other than 2 weeks in the summer and a week at Christmas, this school is always open -- even during crazy snowstorms this year, they were open, allowing us to work when we needed to.
