Bright Beginnings 74 Connecticut 37, New Fairfield, CT 06812

"For 12 years I had the pleasure of being a parent, teacher and Assistant Director at Bright Beginnings. During that time I had the honor of working alongside two of the most caring and professional individuals I have ever met, Mary Arnold and Susan Hamilton. No matter how hectic the day may have been, they always took the time to personally attend to each child's needs. The curriculum and programs are exceptional, but the children and familes were always the top priority. My kids are grown now and I am retired from teaching, but I will always feel like a part of the Bright Begininngs' family."

"I just wanted to share our experience with Bright Beginnings which was part of our lives for 8 years. As a working MOM, I never once worried about my son knowing he was in the best of care; and that to me was a blessing. All the staff including Mary and Susan treated us/him like family and cared for him like one of their own. I feel lucky to have found a place so welcoming, warm, and FUN! My son will always know he is part of the Bright Beginnings family."

"I have done organizational assessments for over 30 years.as either the leader or as a consultant. I recently had the opportunity to work with Bright Beginnings in an effort to assess the quality of their core programs, structure, compensation package, competitiveness, value system and policies. I found that Bright Beginnings was in a leadership position in every discipline. Most impressive was the top priority on the children's SAFETY, EDUCATIONAL and CHILD development along with parental value and accommodation. The staff also has a compelling desire and obligation to serve the community as they are active in many areas. The bottom line is that Mary's organization, Bright Beginnings is much more than "Day Care" It can be better described as a "Child's development and learning center""

"Bright Beginnings has been a part of our family for 4 years. These have been 4 amazing years of my daughters life. she is still currently enrolled and counts down the days until she goes. The staff has provided her with a loving, caring, safe environment with many learning experiences. School is almost over and my daughter can not wait to attend their summer camp! Bright Beginnings strives to teach all ages many life skills that will carry with them for years to come. I am delighted to have chosen such an wonderful child care/preschool for my child as well as working environment for myself!"

"My wife and I have been thrilled with the dedication and professionalism of all the teachers and administration at Bright Beginnings. Our son who is eleven has attended Bright Beginnings since preschool and absolutely loves it there! Our daughter was a student at Bright Beginnings and now she is an after school teacher in the kindergarten program and she adores her students. Overall, Bright Beginnings is a wonderful school and we would highly recommend this school to everyone."
