A Child's Place

"The teachers and staff at A Child's Place are second to none. Nurturing environment with fantastic student to teacher ratios. Many specials including yoga, music and languages. Love the multiple areas for kids to learn and play including playground, classroom, and common space."

"I have only amazing things to say about A Child's Place. I have had four children go through the program and would highly recommend it, having experience at two other preschools. The environment is nurturing, the teachers are loving, and the extremely dedicated director genuinely cares about each child and parent. I am in a better mood every time I leave the school, knowing that my children have been able to have that experience. My kids have entered kindergarten as happy, well adjusted, and confident students. They were taught in a play based manner that is age appropriate. Additionally, there is a strong community of parents who are supportive and open. It is a wonderful way to meet people with the many events they have to foster the school community. Overall, the most telling thing is how much my kids love it. It is a truly special place."

"My daughter started in the infant room at A Child’s Place and has since graduated to the 3’s program. Now, my son is in the infant room. My husband and I have been so pleased with their development. The teachers are so attentive to the children and display a very loving, yet constructive style to their approach. The variety of activities throughout the day such as yoga, music, outdoor play in the garden, and art are some of the many great attributes the school has to offer. The low student to teacher ratio is another aspect that helps the school stand out among others. Given this ratio, teachers can be more effective at their job. This means that our children have more time and attention from each teacher, which is what we have come to love about ACP. My husband and I moved to Westport 4 years ago. Our families are far away so the thought of being in a new town was daunting to us. Through ACP we have developed close and supportive friendships. The decision to send our children to ACP is by far the best one we’ve made for our kiddos!"

"We couldn’t be more thrilled with our children’s experience at A Child’s Place preschool. We moved from NYC barely knowing anybody, and as soon as we walked into A Child’s Place we felt at home. The director and teachers are kind, attentive and dedicated, and the parent community is so diverse and involved. They offer specials like Spanish, yoga, music, art and animal embassy, and the kids learn so much on a daily basis. Highly recommend!"

"Can’t say enough great things about this wonderful school. Started both my girls when I went back to work (3 - 4 months old) and the nurturing environment really helped me with the transition! The teachers are incredibly patient, loving and calm and keep me sane each day. The student / teacher ratios are fantastic and the hours are ideal for working parents with early drop off and late pick ups. There is enrichment provided to the children, as well. Even the babies are doing art, yoga and participating in music class! It’s amazing to see. The community of parents is also incredibly supportive. I’ve met some truly wonderful people at this school who have turned into dear friends. The school offers classes all the way up to kindergarten with flexible programs and hours based on parents needs. If you are new to the area, this is a fantastic way to meet other families, as well. Highly recommend!!!"
