Usually a lurker...but have a daycare question and

I need your ladies help.  How did you start the process and if you could recommend any in the Cromwell, Rocky Hill, Middletown area would be so helpful.  Thank you in advance for helping a lurker out :o)

Re: Usually a lurker...but have a daycare question and

  • My girls go to Kiddie World across from Aetna and I love it. I've also heard good things about Kindercare across from Walmart and Apple Tree on 217.  I didn't care for Pumpkin patch and never looked at Northeast. HTH!  Goodluck!
  • I'm not in the area, but I did use the website www.infoline.org  We use an in- home daycare.  The site lists centers and in home and is statewide.

    Good luck!

  • My best friend and boss both use Stork Club in Rocky Hill on Cromwell Ave (Rte3)...They both love it and have no issues.  My friend started her DD at 8wks, so is familiar w/ the infant room.  My boss started her DD at 15 months or so. 
  • I've heard good things about Kiddie World. 

    I know Northwest Childrens center in Cromwell has a great reputation, but I don't know what age they start with.

    There is a Bright Horizons in Middletown, they have a good center.  The director is very good and the center is well cared for.

    As for Kindercare...I looked into them when Anthony was 7 mo.   I didn't like them, but it was a personal preference.  They use baby swings and when I told them the trouble I had w/ Anthony sleeping in them and requested they NOT use it, the girl said "Oh, we'll only use it if he's really fussy" ... that right there was enough to make my decision.  Again- just a personal thing...but if an interviewing parent requests something and you can't comply...then what's it gonna be like when I'm sending him there full time.

     

  • I second infoline.  Check out the website but also give a call to 211.  They have more information than on the website.  They give you a random listing of licensed providers, how long they've been in business, their fees and their hours.

  • Thank you everyone!  I appreciate your feedback!  You ladies rock!
  • I'm late responding, but I have to second using info line.  I actually called 211 first and spoke with them over the phone about where I was looking, etc. They gave me a list of names with some more information than you can get on their website.  I found this the most helpful. 

    Good luck!
