What a fabulous daycare! Two of my children have already gone there (one girl, one boy, total of three years), and I can't wait until my third is old enough to go, too. I cannot think of a better first "school" as my kids call it, than Children's Connection. Luciane is incredibly talented with little ones- she is loving and warm with them but also firm, and teaches them to be cooperative and caring toward one another. The environment is clean (I second the other reviewer- not pristine while they are playing, but clean and orderly each day) and exciting--there's a lot packed into those rooms! They also get lots of exercise, great food, and have lessons and enrichment activities. I should note that my kids have very different personalities: one who needs a very safe-feeling, warm environment and the other very independent and outgoing, and both thrived there, adored CC and love going back whenever they can to pay a visit and play. Sending your kids to Children's Connection is like enlarging your family with fabulous new members you won't want to say goodbye to when your kids start kindergarten. Cannot recommend it highly enough!

From the moment I walked into Children’s Connection, I could feel the warmth and love that is ever present at this center. Children’s Connection is truly unique in its ability to combine a loving environment with that of a school where children two years and older can learn everything from how to share with their friends, hold a paintbrush and learn to imaginatively create. Children learn through creative and imaginative play, and interacting with one and other. Both my daughters, extremely different in personalities, thrived under the nurturing and guidance of Lucianne. She fosters this wonderful feeling of community among children and their families, and an amazing sense of security.
In addition to the unparalleled care that Lucianne gives at Children’s Connection, she also provides a nutritious hot lunch and two snacks. Our children benefited greatly from exposure to a variety of healthy foods including Greek, Brazilian, and American cuisine! Finally, the center is always impeccably clean. This is not to say that it is neat while children are at play, but at the start of each day it is organized and spotless.
I could not even count the number of families I have personally referred to Children’s Connection. It is truly a wonderful place for children and families alike.
My daughter has spent 3 years at Childrens Connection. She has received extraordinary care and attention and is well prepared for school as a result. Our little girl is always excited to arrive there in the morning, and difficult to drag away in the afternoon. Luciane does a wonderful job taking care of all the little ones, always giving them new and interesting activities and lots of love. CC alumni often drop in for a visit to the place they spent many happy days. We recommend Childrens Connection highly.
My two daughters have attended this school for a combined total of 5 years. I can not think of a more loving environment for young children. Luciane makes caring for toddlers and preschoolers look easy! My children were always excited at the end of the day to show me their projects and tell me about the day. There was daily communication from Luciane and I always knew my children were well cared for, well fed, and learning lots. As a pediatrician and a mother, I highly recommend Children's Connection.
Our daughter had just turned two in July and started at Luciane's Children's Connection that September. What a wonderful introduction to a preschool environment! Children's Connection is the perfect place for a young preschooler to learn and grow. Our daughter still remembers that she loved Luciane's snacks and lunch (a nutritious hot meal each day-- great variety of vegetables, beans and rice, fish, etc.), and she also loved the "field trips" to Beaver Brook (they are able to go to the park so easily, being practically right next door). And she remembers playing in the snow in her snowsuit with Luciane and all the kids. That's one of her favorite memories.
At the end of the year Luciane makes a wonderful keepsake album for each child, filled with all the child's projects and artwork, which my daughter loves to look at over and over again.
Children's Connection provides such a warm, friendly environment. When your child goes to Luciane's, you and your child become part of her extended family.
Luciane is also very flexible with hours. Although my daughter regularly went just half-day hours,whenever I had an afternoon appointment and needed her to stay longer, it was no problem. This is a great convenience for parents.
