We have had our 3 year old daughter at Almost Home for most of her life. We have found all of the staff to be caring, responsible, responsive, and most importantly they absolutely love the kids. We have always felt our daughter is safe and well cared for at almost home. And the hours are great for working parent. We would recommend Almost Home to any parent!

My daughter started at Almost Home at 7-months old. She is now 3.5 years old. She is learning in a loving, happy environment with excellent care. The staff is very diligent about each and every child’s different personality needs. I highly recommend Almost Home.

Finding a daycare that will treat your children as well as you do is not the easiest task... but that’s not the case with Almost Home. Almost Home has been caring for our 2 year old since she has been 6 months old and we couldn’t be happier. In fact, when searching for our new home, being close to our daycare was one of the most important factors for us! We can’t wait for our littlest daughter to start there soon. Look no further.

We felt comfortable with Almost Home the moment we stepped into the building. The director, Fran, covered every detail during our tour and made us feel super comfortable and confident in our decision to choose Almost Home as the child care center for our little one. We feel as comfortable as a parent can dropping off our little one every day. The classrooms are clean and filled with fun stimulating toys. Staff are engaging and friendly. The video surveillance lets us check in through out the day and calms our first time parent nerves. Our little one has progressed so much since being at Almost Home (from hating tummy time in the very beginning to now crawling all over the place and pulling up on things). Thank you to Almost home for truly being the closet thing to home we could ask for!

Our son started at Almost Home just a few months ago and he is already like one of the family. I really appreciate their atmosphere. It has a family feel while still being professional and other teachers, outside of the room that he is in, know him and interact with him. I love that I can check in on my child via video throughout the day and when I drop him off he is happy to see his teachers and often when I pick him up he is cuddling with them. Such a relief as a working mom to have a place like this!

My 2yr old son has been going to Almost Home for over a year and we love all things Almost Home. Having to return to work and leaving my son in someone else's care was such a hard thing- but Almost Home made it easier. The staff is amazing. Miss. Essence and Miss. Ellen go above and beyond to create a fun, clean class room that inspires imaginative play. They think of fun crafts ( like the Zoo wall over the course of the month where they had the kids created elephants, zebras, etc). They always bring them outside on nice days and on rainy days bring the kids into a large room full of mats and push and ride on toys, allowing them a change of scenery and a way to expel energy. They conduct thoughtful circle time in which they subtlety infuse play with learning and skills. They have made this experience amazing for me and my son looks forward going to school. We are looking forward to many more years at Almost Home ??

We have been an Almost Home for over two years and we love it! The teachers are wonderful and take such good care of our children. They are so friendly and make my kids feel safe and comfortable. Fran is calm, organized and reliable. The rooms are clean and bright, and they spend plenty of time outdoors.

I worked for Almost Home for 16 years. The staff and numerous families that I came in contact with were all like family to me. I only left because I was 9 months pregnant. When it came time for me to enroll my daughter in a preschool I could have sent her to school closer to our home in Norwalk but nothing compared to the feeling of home at Almost Home. The directors were like second mom's to me and the staff is all so kind and caring. So I knew she would be in good hands. I love all the fun art projects she brings home and stories she starting to share.

Almost Home is a wonderful place for children to grow and learn at their own pace. Our program is integrated with creative and exciting avtivities that spark their curiosity and enhance their imagination. The center has been newly renovated with new carpet, furniture, toys and activities and brightly colored walls. The longevity of the teachers is a true testament to the quality of care the children receive.

Our granddaughter is now attending Almost Home Childcare in Ridgefield. We could not be happier! The director and teachers are so wonderful, caring and patient. They truly care about the children who attend the daycare. The school is recently updated and is such a pleasant place. I'd highly recommend Almost Home to anyone looking for a safe, fun place for your child.

Location was key. Located just off route 35 (Danbury Rd) they are easy to get to. The staff is very friendly and willing to work with our schedule and dietary needs. They do not have TVs or electronics in the classes unlike some other daycares we visited.

Almost Home has been a great experience for us and for our daughter. She is safe, engaged and happy at the end of each day. She has access to age appropriate learning materials and as she prepares to transition into Kindergarten this year I'm confident that she is prepared. Our son also gets transported to elementary school each day by Almost Home transportation. It is safe, reliable and fun transport for him and it is a relief to know he is good hands each morning on the commute.

We have six year old twins who have been going to Almost Home since they were three months old. Fran and Bunny, the two managers have shown our girls unconditional love during the entire time. The staff is nurturing, kind, well trained, and highly responsible.Almost Home has been the most dependable facility that we have experienced and does not go by the school schedule, so there have been countless times during inclement weather where my wife and I have both had to go into work and we have been able to drop the kids off for the day.They are also open most holidays, which has also been very convenient. If you are looking for a daycare center which is convenient, dependable, clean, and nurturing I highly recommend Almost Home. It truly lives up to its name!

Our daughter has gone to Almost Home for nearly four years. Directors Fran and Bunny are amazingly helpful and beyond caring. Teachers are great. I cannot recommend this daycare enough to parents who are looking for a place for their children to grow and learn while they have to be away from them while at work. We will soon be moving out of state and we will truly miss everyone here at Almost Home. If you're considering a daycare in Ridgefield you must put this one at the top of your list.
