Schools in Cheshire, CT

“OTR was an amazing experience for my kids. The teachers made each day a fun one, as well as full of learning.We chose OTR because we had heard there was a strong pre-K program and there was also after-care for our school-age child.The pre-K program was very comprehensive. Ms. Tammy made learning fun, and had a structure to the day and week that made it easy to follow and support at home. We were always kept aware of any activities well in advance and could always ask questions.For school age, the bus picked up right from the center, so no difficulties whether it was a full or half day. They were open on school close days (except the major holidays). It met our family needs and my school age kid could get assistance with homework when needed.When COVID-19 hit, OTR stayed open. Staff worked with families to meet fears and concerns; we were kept aware of changes and protocols. Though my school age child stayed home to do remote learning, my pre-schooler continued to attend. Even with masks, staff remained cheerful, supportive, and came up with creative activities. They normalized checking temperatures in morning, and asked about symptoms and trips without making it seem like the same questions were being asked each day.They found a way to do a modified graduation ceremony and included my school ager, who had not attended in 3 months, in their farewell ceremony for the year.OTR came across as a family and we were definitely members.It is a great facility and my children thrived there!”

“When I think of a second family for my child, I think of the Cheshire KinderCare. The staff is wonderful and caring. I trust that I am always leaving my child with someone that will make sure she is okay. I have known the teachers and staff for a few years now and they truly care about my child. My child is always learning something new, trying new foods, has made friends and has so much fun.”

“I have two kids who started this year at Norton. They're loving their teachers and how their year is progressing. They have different choices for lunch and lunches are well rounded. The staff are friendly, informative and helpful. Everything as we know is in the digital age and this school takes full advantage of this. Including sending out emails or notifications of what's going on at school and specifically with your child. This includes when they go to the nurses office and why they went. Overall, seems like a pretty awesome school so far!”
