About Country Kids Child Care and Preschool in Brookfield, CT

Country Kids Child Care is an early childhood learning center nestled in Brookfield, Ct. Entrusting your child to the care of others is a decision a parent does not take lightly, no matter what age. A parent must feel that the School they select is an extension of their home, and the teacher who is with their child is not only teaching them, but nurturing them as well. Your child is like no other, with needs unique to them.  We understand that, and will cater to those needs.  Our pledge to you is more then just a slogan – it is a promise.  We will treat your child as if they were our own.

Our Programs

Infant Care – Ages 6 weeks to 14 months

Caring for your baby is one of the most important things our caregivers will ever do.  Your baby will have a caregiver who will respond quickly to crying, and show delight with spending time with your baby.  Your baby will be held when drinking a bottle, and will be tickled, laughed with, cuddled, and rocked.  As a result, your baby will feel safe and secure  and have trust in the world.  Your baby will learn self-importance and the ability to count on others, plus learn how to regulate and communicate their emotions. Tummy time with their caregiver promotes reaching and stretching their core muscle strength along with crawling, rolling, and climbing.

Toddler Care – Ages 12 months to 3 years old

Toddlers are ready to explore the world around them.  They know what words stand for things.  You will see our caregivers on eye level with your toddler, making eye contact when speaking, and showing excitement in his efforts to communicate.

Preschool – Ages 3 years to 5 years old

This is a time that education provides for the optimal development of children.  It does not mean formal teaching from text books.  It does not mean taking the child away from his mother.  It means that parents and teachers cooperate in providing the best possible environment for the growth and development of young children.  A good program of Preschool education considers the whole child – physical, mental, and social welfare.  In Country Kids’ full day preschool program you will find the perfect balance of nurturing and educational experiences.  The personal touch is very important. Your child will feel secure in the care of our teachers, but not too dependent upon them.  Your child is entitled to an opportunity to grow and develop under the most favorable conditions.  Your preschooler will be exposed to good and beautiful things.

Kindergarten

Country Kids presents you with an exciting alternative choice for Kindergarten.  Our Center is the first to introduce an 8:30-3:30 Kindergarten program with the benefit of a low child to staff ratio. The benefits of small learning groups throughout the day allows for a personalized curriculum for your Kindergartener.  Your child will question, explore, and use all  senses as teachers encourage risk-taking. State of the art technology is utilized for hands-on learning to promote creativity.
