What parents say
Putting my 6-month-old son into daycare was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made..but four months later, I couldn't be more grateful that I did. Since joining Bright Years Middlebury, the progress he's made in his development, skills, and especially his social growth has been truly astonishing. He simply would not be thriving the way he is if we had kept him home full time. You can plan every minute of every…
Samantha Longo · 5/5 on Google · 4 months agoToday was my son's last day there as he will be attending school. He has gone there from 2023 and they have been amazing. Never had any issues and all the teachers really seem to care for the kids. Glad we found them and will miss the staff. Definitely recommend.

Tara Stevenson · 5/5 on Google · 7 months agoI highly recommend this daycare! Bailey & Margaret are amazing & they truly care about the children there. They always go above and beyond not only for the children but for the staff as well. My children have thrived since switching to Bright & Early, they do lots of activities, go outside year round. It’s a healthy environment for children to be in, all of the teachers are really teaming up everyday for the kids.
