March 2012.  We’ve had great success with the Woodbridge Child Center. The staff is caring and extremely competent. Our daughter loves going there, which to us is the best compliment we can pay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend WCS to anyone.

March 2012.  Woodbridge Child Center has been amazing for both of our children. Our first started at 4 months old and stayed through the entire program until entering kindergarten. Academically he was beyond prepared for the kindergarten curriculum and transitioned in a heartbeat. Equally important were his social and emotional development which we are still impressed with. He learned how to be a good friend, student, partner, helper and independent thinker with creativity, compassion and empathy. The staff and families are wonderful and it truly feels like a small family community. WCC is unlike anywhere else. It’s not a business to make money simply in the business of excellent child care and preschool education. NAEYC accreditation to boot! We couldn’t have felt better when we enrolled our second child last year. WCC is the only place we would send our kids.

October 2011. When my children started attending WCC they were 7 months old. At the time we lived in Westville, and we looked at many different places in several nearby areas including New Haven, Woodbridge, Orange and Hamden. Ultimately, we chose the WCC because of the experienced staff, the idyllic location and the affordability. It is one of the most reasonably priced child care centers around, but we don’t feel like we’re short-changing our kids—they’re in the preschool now and love it there. Many of the teachers have been there over ten years, and some are bilingual. One of the only daycares in the area that is NAEYC accredited, the WCC is play-based and casual, which is comforting in this era of early educational pressures. It is housed in what used to be an old elementary school in the center of picturesque Woodbridge, and there is a big gymnasium that the kids can play in during inclement weather. It is also adjacent to nature trails and the town library and the kids are able to enjoy both during frequent outings. The WCC baby room was also one of the only places in the New Haven area that would accommodate our children’s cloth diapers; more importantly, the staff never made us feel bad about our parenting choices, however different from what the other parents were doing. Full disclosure: I am a member of the WCC Board.
