What parents say

One of the BEST Early Education Centers in CT!! They provide the children with an amazing environment to learn and grow. I can confidently say that my daughter's academic, emotional, and social capacities noticeably continue to improve since she has been a part of this amazing program.

Samantha Cook · 5/5 on Google · 3 years ago

My son attends Guilford Center for Children (GCC) and we couldn't be happier. They provide healthy, organic breakfast, lunch and snacks daily, as well as a curriculum that is paramount in the area. The teachers and program director, Lisa, are phenomenal and really do care about how each child is learning, growing, and developing. We LOVE GCC!

Jennifer You · 5/5 on Google · 8 years ago

This is a special place. My children have collectively been in many types of learning environments, but I have never experienced a school with committed, loving, and nurturing teachers and staff from top to bottom. My daughter has not once had a bad day I. Three years going to this magical place. If you can bring your child here, then do it.

Most importantly, the school Director was unsupportive, disengaged and rude. This young child lost his mother and the Director was the least supportive individual at the school. In fact, the Director and the teacher as well as the president of the board never even responded…
