I don’t recommend. They do not properly clean or change diapers. My 1 year old daughter came home twice with an awful rash on her private area and thighs. The pants I sent her in were drenched in urine . They must of had her laying in urine for a long time. She also had a bruise on her back on another occasion and I was not notified nor was there an incident report. I removed her immediately.

Pulled our son out after a few months. There were signs he was scared to go in and would get nervous around them. The staff and owners are rude and vindictive. Do not take your kids here unless you want to worry all day long.

My daughter has been going to Sandbox Daycare in Danbury since 2018 when she was 11 weeks old. The team there is amazing!!! They are welcoming, kind, attentive and knowledgeable. I have always felt my daughter is in safe hands when she is there. I love that I get a daily report of everything she does, especially since she has allergies. Their organization is very important to me. She has always come home properly fed, clean and dry diaper. When she sees one of her favorite teachers in the morning she leaps in her arms to give her a big hug. The owner, Kathy, and the manager, Trish, are wonderful to work with and are great with communication. I have never had an issue with any of the staff or felt my daughter wasn’t well taken care of. I absolutely recommend the Sandbox Daycare to anyone who asks!

Sand box day care is a no brainier for any one looking for a day care. – My twin girls have been there from 6 months old to now; on the verge of graduation and moving onto Kindergarten! From Day 1 we felt at home and could not be happier with the care provided. The teachers have done a great job preparing my girls; who I feel are more than ready to take on Kindergarten. Throughout out years there Mrs. Kathy has made a point to reach out to us periodically with any extra classroom work and behavior that needs to be addressed on at home. What makes me smile most is when they play classroom at home and they emulate their teachers and lessons to theirs dolls. Sandbox has been a part of our family for over four years and I am so happy we had them! Thank you Sandbox team we love you!

My son has attended The Sandbox Daycare for 3 years. The teachers and staff here are like family and my son loves going to school everyday. The attention to each child and their learning is apparent. They also do a great job at teaching social skills and manners. The Sandbox is always clean and make sure that the kids there stay healthy. The staff truly cares and invests in each student, special thanks to the owner of the center Kathy and manager Trish, I was lucky and blessed enough to have them in my life when I most needed help, they’re so professional and truly wonderful and maybe the kindest people I ever met in my life. My son has grown and learned things that I never thought he would know at his age and has developed a love of school. Thank you Sandbox Daycare for adding us to your wonderful family?

The Sandbox Daycare is the best option for childcare in our area. We've trusted them with both of our children until it came time time for them to go to Kindergarten. The teachers and staff are like family to us after so many years. From day one they took the time to get to know you, listen to your needs and your child's needs and do whatever it took to make sure your child was having the best experience possible. The teachers are professional, caring, and they always have so many terrific projects and activities planned for the week. Every day you get a note telling you about their day and they will take the time to address their progress with you. We are so grateful for Kathy and Trish and all of the teachers over the years. You can be sure that your children will receive the best care possible here. It was such an amazing feeling knowing that our kids were having fun, learning, and were in a safe, clean environment every single day. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.

I have been a “Sandbox Mom” for 10 years now. (Oldest is 12 and my youngest is 2.) My family considers ALL of the teachers in this building FAMILY. When I was ready for my son (now 2 years old) to start daycare (around 6 months old), there was not a moment of hesitation as to WHERE he would go. There was no shopping around, no phone calls to compare prices and take tours. No need to “kick the tires” for this decision at all. I want my son enrolled in a loving and nurturing environment, where I can fully trust that his health and wellbeing is top quality and top priority. I want him to have the incredible early education advantages, as well as the structure and age appropriate discipline that go hand in hand into raising a very happy and well rounded little person. Sandbox teachers have wiped the tears of my children as well as my own (literally) and I will love them all to the moon and back until the end of time.

As much as I do not have the time to take out for writing a review I have decided that I must. When I was on maternity leave I decided to check out some daycares in the area and happen to fall upon Danbury location Sandbox because of its great location needs for us. When I first met Trish I thought wow shes a mom and stated how she understands what being a mom is and she seem to be really caring. So I chose this daycare for our baby girl. After the first week I already started to get the vibe from management of “we are already signed up so no big deal to greet me” kind of welcome. At my older daughters daycare in a different town, a few years ago (she was there for all daycare years), I was pleasantly greeted by the manager every, single, day! Now the Sandbox is on the average rate of pay per week as the other daycares $270 a week, which I paid in full every week. Being married and all, this was very close to half of what I took home in my paycheck after taxes which I had to dish out for child care because this is America and that’s what we do here when you are in the median income range. With that being said, I expect a good morning when I walk in the door! But I never got that more than probably a handful of times. Now the major issue is, the care taking. My baby was not getting fed enough. Since she is a great baby usually happy just for someone being there, her need for food seemed to be missed. I understand every day could range for feedings but the more we were there the less she got fed. This was severely addressed to the management team and seemed to be fixed for lets say 2 weeks to be nice. Then it went back to the usual missing feedings. I packed only 3 bottles for my baby and she was only getting 2 every day sometimes there from 830am-630pm. And our very last week (because we decided to try something new), there was a day she only had ONE BOTTLE for a total of 9 hours being there. And to top that off, missed a meal too!?!?!?!? The girls in the baby room are very sweet however they were the ones who needed to feed her. I wasnt going to write a review until that happened. That is unacceptable. Management needs to get their act together here. Pay more attention to the children in your facility. Look at their sheets, if you are a mother think if you would want your baby to have one single bottle from 9am-5pm!

This is an absolutely wonderful daycare! Sandbox Daycare incorporates lots of artistic and educational activities, even for the young kiddos. The teachers are very sweet and seem to genuinely enjoy their workplace. I highly recommend Sandbox!

There is currently a campaign by a disgruntled ex employee to discredit this long running and professional business. Pay special attention to one star reviews that were left recently by people with only a few reviews under their belt... or just one. It’s easy these days for people to smear, but this business was built from the ground up by someone who cares very much for children.

I have many, many wonderful things to say about the Sandbox. My son has been attending Sandbox since he was 9 months old, and he's now 4.5 years old, getting ready for kindergarten next year! :)I would consider Sandbox a daycare "family." In addition to daycare for babies and toddlers, they also offer an industry leading pre-school program for 3 and 4 year olds. Their curriculum is top-notch for early childhood learning, engagement and education.Also, the Sandbox teachers are all very skilled, patient and loving, giving each child one on one time and attention - including the needed praise and guidance that is so very important for children's development. We're so happy and thankful for all of the wonderful teachers and administrators at Sandbox. They are our second family!

Oh my SANDBOX, I don't even know where to begin with this one. Staff is wonderful however the owner is a scorn woman. I don’t think that this person has entirely been social, ever since her childhood. She must have been singled out or bullied in her past. Not sure if you’re looking to have a relationship with her but good luck trying to build a relationship with her. She sure knows how to push people's buttons. She does not take the time to know you or your child and she is already telling you how she feels about you before you even get to know her. She tells you immediately what you can and can’t do. She is real outspoken and superior in her own world. Of course it’s her world not anyone else’s. If I had to choose a daycare this would not be my first choice. Love the Staff dislike the owner.
