My two children love attending this center! My older child (a school age child) begs for a "no…read moreschool day" so he can go to KinderCare all day. My younger son asks to go to school every morning! They adore their teachers, and I feel safe and confident with them in their care. The KinderCare curriculum has worked wonders for both of my children! My older son was prepared for Kindergarten even as the youngest child in his class he was able to have a successful year. My younger son blows us away with the things he knows! Even our pediatrician was amazed at his vocabulary at 18 months! I would highly recommend this childcare center!

I'm not sure who the previous reviewer was, but our son has been at Beehive for 18 months (he's 2),…read moreand he loves it. the teachers are tremendously caring and creative. They do art projects (including paint and glue and all the messy things!), go outside, sing songs, read books, provide theme-based learning (bug week, colors, shapes, dinosaur week, etc), teach manners (my son says please and thank you independently at 2y.o.), on top of the basic feed/watch/diaper/clean. Our kiddo's language and motor skills are exceptional, and we attribute much of it to Beehive. I'm guessing what the previous reviewer saw was... toddlers. Crying and tantrums are developmentally appropriate, and I have never seen my son's teachers respond to him/his peers with anything but love and genuine care. the first floor is babies through 3y.o. I have no doubt that developmentally appropriate behavior was happening. They alert us instantly if anything occurs (trip/fall, emotional morning, sick, etc) and post multiple daily photos on their app so that I get sweet updates during my day at work. My husband and I are both teachers and we are so happy with Beehive. highly recommend.

We enrolled our son when he was only three months old, and Building Blocks has been so important to…read moreour family. It's the perfect combination of a family oriented facility (everyone knows his name, our names, and cares deeply for him) and a highly functioning, professional place. They are EXCELLENT communicators- unbelievably responsive and show the utmost quality of care for our most important little guy. There are always things happening at BB! From themed days, special events, to the incredible lessons the teachers put together... the kids are busy. And we get awesome pictures of all the things they're doing during the day. It really feels like a village, and we feel truly lucky to have our son grow up there, and plan to enroll our new baby there in the fall. As a parent, you truly worry about a million things... and dropping our kid off at BB truly makes it feel like one less thing to worry about.

No organization to the point my son is stuck in a class I have continuously said he is not enriched in due to a rotation of teachers in it, and no updates throughout the day on my sons activities or curriculum. Was quoted the wrong tuition from the start and my concerns expressed along with other family members were ignored. If you want a school with a classroom that truly enriches kids without rotating teachers (I've seen up to 6 teachers in my sons class periodically) , active communication and detailed curriculum activities in the app they use..do not go here.

My worst nightmare happened at Tutor time in Norwalk when my daughter came home with unexplained…read moreinjuries. When she started, she would cry unconsolably when we dropped her off. When I watched her on their video app, I noticed she wouldn't be comforted. I also noticed that she spent hours in the crib despite only napping for an hour. The teacher was cold towards her and my daughter seemed specifically scared of this teacher. There was a lot of neglect and isolation. When she was picked up by this specific teacher, it was without empathy. I saw my daughter fearfully retreat into the crib when she was approached by her. I saw my daughter swat at her face and the teacher then took her to an area of the room that isn't visible on camera. When I tried to screenshot or record what I saw, it disables the app. I called the assistant director and spoke with him about my concerns. That evening when I went to bathe my daughter, I noticed multiple abrasions on her chest, armpit, back and puncture wounds on her hand. I sent an email to the assistant director and met with him and the site director in the morning. When I undressed my daughter and showed them her injuries they stated they felt they occurred by the teacher picking her up and being scratched by her long nails accidentally. There was never an incident report made. It's impossible that my daughter was scratched harmlessly with her clothes on leaving a total of 9 marks on her left side and two on her right hand. There is no way that my daughter scratched herself nor another child. I am a ER physician and their lack of concern is appalling. This was not an accident. I believe Tutor time is not naive to instances similar to what occurred with my daughter based on their response. They are not a safe facility for any child to attend and I definitely would warn anyone not to do so.

I wish I could give them zero stars. I sent my children to…read moreCountry Kids for a year and a half. Unfortunately, Cadence Education purchased Country Kids during that time and turned it into an incredible mess. I am aware of 4 other kids in my children's classroom who switched to the Goddard School in the last month. These are my reasons for our switch and why I would NEVER recommend Country Kids Cadence Education. 1. The Cadence administration does not care about the teachers and some of the teachers seem extremely unhappy. It felt upsetting to leave my children with a teacher who seemed visibly angry and unhappy. The head teacher for my children often did not say hello to my children when they arrived or acknowledge they were dropped off. She seemed extremely stressed and upset on a daily basis - not a great fit for a room full of three year olds. I do not blame this teacher since it was clear she was not being supported by the Cadence administrators running the school. On one of our last days, she was the only teacher in the room at drop off with approximately 15 children and she was on the phone trying to get help from someone in the office. 2. The teachers repeatedly complained to me that they do not have the support they need from the Cadence administration to properly take care of the children. There are not enough floaters so kids can't be taken to the bathroom if they have an accident. On 2 occasions when my 3 year old had an accident. I was called by the teacher and asked to come to the school due to not having a change of clothes. When I arrived, there was an available change of clothes and my child had been sitting in her soiled pants since the call was made 30 minutes earlier. The teacher informed me that the office was not answering her calls for help, they did not have enough teachers to help my child get cleaned up, and that my 3 year old should be able to clean herself up after an accident. 3. They are unable to retain teachers as employees. In a three month period, four teachers that my children were familiar with quit and told me they were leaving due to how awful Cadence treated them. On our last day at Cadence, a teacher confided to me that Cadence has recently hired a high school student who did not seem qualified for the job. 4. From age 2 until 3 1/2 my children switched rooms 3 times. The teachers in each of these rooms never helped my children to clean their faces (or guide them how to clean their own faces) properly after lunch and my kids would have food all over their faces each day when I picked them up at 5:30. This meant they had ketchup and other grime all over their faces for hours while they slept and played. 5. The teachers repeatedly told me that my children's room was supposed to have direct access to a toilet in the room and mentioned it was against the state guidelines that they did not. 6. The teachers and administration do not communicate with the parents about upcoming events like parent-teacher conferences, theme days, or if my kids took a nap or anything specific about their day. All communication about a child's day is copied and pasted for each child in the room and no individual details about my children were shared through their app. 7. When we decided to stop daycare with Cadence and move them to Goddard, Cadence assured me of the final amount I would be charged. They then overcharged me and have not provided me with a refund or a final accounting. Speaking with anyone by phone or any of the teachers is a constant chain of blaming each other and then blaming the overall administration. Due to these issues, I strongly discourage parents from sending their children to Cadence's Country Kids in Brookfield.

My son has been in the infant room at Country Kids for about 9 months now and I cannot say enough…read moregreat things about his caregivers and the directors! Rozetta, Felicia, Chris and Diane are all amazing with my son, caring for him as if he were their own. My son smiles from ear to ear on drop off and on pickup he is giggling and trying to blow kisses. He is a very active boy and still somehow they manage to keep up with him! He has flourished while under their supervision and is even starting to walk early.. They are on top of safe sleep and AAP recommendations for illness, introducing solids and overall feeding so I never have to worry (especially as a first time parent). They have a 3 to 1 ratio in the infant room which is better than anywhere else I've seen. I toured many facilities before choosing Country Kids and am very happy with my decision, as is my son. Additionally, they have handled everything from COVID-19 to a week-long power outage this year with great leadership and clear communication. They are taking health safety very seriously and I have been very happy with the steps they've taken to keep our kids safe.

The director Jess and the finance gal, Christian are prompt, professional, and friendly. The pricing is fair in regard to how expensive daycare is in general. They have an in-house kitchen/dietician/lunch lady and offer hot lunch to babies all the way up to kindergarten age. My daughter has eaten things like Spanish rice and beans and ham, or raviolis, or even chicken sausage and veggies. The snacks are healthy and tasty too. I enjoy that she gets to taste all different types of food. They have fun and educational age appropriate crafts and activities for the kids. The teachers are kind and welcoming. Miss Lasheekah and miss Olivia are my kids favorite teachers. The older children do centers or stations and are always doing something fun or educational. You can talk to staff or pay your tuition all in an app set up with the school. Tuition also covers diapers and milk . They are also allergy friendly. The children get to go outside and play often too. They have their own fenced in backyards with gardens for the kids to work on and learn . All in all, it is a clean, safe, healthy environment for children to learn and play .
