Sandy Hook Child Care Center

Dedicated teachers in a small group setting. The daycare utilizes their outdoor setting in a national park to raise environmentally-conscious children who love the outdoors. They believe in place-based learning with an interactive hands-on approach. Older students have the opportunity to participate in the Junior Park Ranger Program, and all ages are engaged in tending to the butterfly and vegetable garden, going on beach walks, seining in the summer, visiting the NOAA federal building to see fisheries scientists, and more. In addition to this, they provide a solid foundation for the children with letter recognition, handwriting, reading, and more. My daughter attended from 7 months to 4 years, and was so well prepared for pre-K and Kindergarten. My second daughter now attends the school and we can't recommend them enough.
