My second child is attending now and will "graduate" this summer. The teachers are kind and engaged. The director has been extremely personable and supportive of my kids' various needs - medical and otherwise.

I recommend this business!

The staff at Duck Pond were wonderful for my two children. My kids loved going to daycare everyday…read more They both learned so much academically and socially. My kids started in the infant room and moved up through the preschool room and every teacher/helper was so kind and gave such great attention to each child. In addition, Amy was always so flexible with scheduling. It made life much easier because I could always depend on Duck Pond to help me with arrangements.

Where do I begin? It is difficult to have to return to work and send a new baby to daycare, but…read moreDuck Pond made the transition easier for us. From early in my pregnancy, we did a lot of reading about day cares, visited several, but we knew when we visited Duck Pond that was where our Jack would end up. We clicked instantly with Amy, the director, who strikes the perfect balance between down-to-earth and professional. She is caring, trustworthy, and always reasonable. So we chose Duck Pond for Jack when he was a mere 2 months old, and he just had his last day there (due to moving) 2 years later. Duck Pond's atmosphere feels like family, and we loved that if we wanted to talk to someone about Jack's needs (he had an anaphylactic egg allergy for a while) or if we had scheduling or billing questions, there was no corporate infrastructure to navigate. We loved that it was a family run center, that every staff member knew Jack by name and was excited to see him in the morning. It's important to note that teacher turnover is low, which was fabulous because Jack became very attached to them. All along, I have genuinely felt that Jack was loved and cared for. But this became even more apparent as he learned to walk, and would run excitedly in in the morning, and then when he learned to talk and was able to tell us how much he loves his Duck Pond friends and teachers. We'll miss Duck Pond but remain extremely grateful for the wonderful early care they gave our son and the peace of mind they gave his parents.

After doing extensive research in the area for preschool curriculums Doodlebugz has far more to offer. They pull professionals in to educate the kids with music lessons, cooking classes, top notch learning and great extra activities like yoga, gymnastics and soccer. It is privately owned by someone who has kids which is why I believe they truly do care...as for the baby room as well as all the other room stages. Your baby/toddler will never be better taken care of :) I would recommend Doodlebugz to everyone!

I used to have a positive take on this daycare, but most of the good teachers have left and they…read morehave been replaced with teachers who are low on experience and not properly trained. There are still some great teachers left, but they are few and far in between. The daycare director Catherine is great as well, most of the issues happen when one of the associate directors or managers are there. Over the last few months I have had issues with my kid just not being diaper changed because they forgot, them disciplining my older son by having him go to another classroom where he just sits and cries or putting him in the lobby, them not knowing how to handle normal toddler situations, like them fighting over toys/books, they're inflexible if your child doesn't want to sit still and do workbooks so they try and force them to do it. The owners response to that was "your child is detrimental to the learning experience of the other children", even though we had him evaluated by birth to three for behavior and they said he is fine, its the daycare, the owner says she disagrees and did not follow the recommendations b23 gave them for training. My son had a cast on this summer for a leg fracture and the teachers there did not follow his care plan and let him sit in a sprinkler getting his cast wet at 1030am, they did not notice his cast was wet all day and at 530pm when I picked him up I had to take him to the ER to cut it off and it was still soaking wet. The owners response to that was that the 2 teachers responsible have a positive review from another parent, so that overrules my concerns and that she simply had them watch a safety video. They didn't even want to comply with having my child moved to another classroom until I threatened to stop bringing him. Those teachers both still work there and admitted that they purposely didn't follow the care instructions for my son because they 'didn't think it would be an issue' and that 'I am just nitpicky and like to complain a lot'. I would no longer recommend this facility for people. They have a lot of issues they need to work through and they aren't nurturing your kids, they are just herding them. Also be aware they bribe parents with gift cards for good reviews.

My high school years were the best of my life and I miss the community so so so much. This school gave me the foundation I needed to succeed in the world and I think I'm doing pretty darn well. The teachers were (and still are) into their students. They wanted us to be the best we could and never hesitated to stay after school to help us. I'm tearing up thinking about it. I could go on and on, but let me cut it short with this: if I ever have daughters, I'm seriously considering moving back to Connecticut.
