Bright & Early Niantic, CT - Niantic, Connecticut

Brynna Gravlin

Our son loves going to Bright and Early. We toured many schools in the area and Bright and Early is definitely the best around. Great teachers/staff and the new director, Britney, is doing a great job. The assistant director Lindsey is fantastic and Ms. Kelly is awesome. The school is clean, well maintained, and they do an excellent job of communicating with parents. Highly recommend.

Kelly, Lindsey and their entire staff are the best in the biz. Awesome facility and our son loves it. We are fortunate knowing our son is in good hands when we drop him off. They have great playground facility including a turf field and a large indoor gym/playroom that I haven’t seen in any other school in the area. They also send updates throughout the day so you can see what your child is doing.

This daycare is special. My son started there in January - he’s 11 months old. We were on the waitlist for about 11 months and I’m glad we waited. Every single teacher provides feedback to me, shares pictures throughout the day, and really cares about our son. We had trouble with him eating solids (before he started at bright and early). Within a month, he was doing so much better. On a warm day last week, the teachers took him to play outside, and took him on a buggy ride (safely). They do activities with the children, arts and crafts, themed events, etc. Big shout out to Lexi and Maritza for loving our boy Theo and taking such good care of him. Directors are also awesome. Great communication.

My daughter joined B&E two months ago and absolutely LOVES it! From the moment you walk in you know the children are well taken care of, safe, and enriched. The staff is wonderful- they are respectful, kind, hard-working, and consistent! They genuinely seem like they love what they are doing and I can always count on positive, caring interactions with them. I have observed other programs where staff turnover is so high, and attendance so poor, that there are always different caregivers working with the children. That is not the case here!! I also love the curriculum and my daughter is thriving!!

I highly recommend this center if you’re looking for childcare and early education!

My wife and I opted to transfer our 2 daughters from another local center to Bright & Early. Ms. Kara and her staff ensured the transition was seamless and checked in with my wife and I to provide feedback and support during the transition. The center itself is clean, well maintained and well managed. It feels like a learning focused environment and all the staff goes out of their way to ensure parents are informed and children are well attended to. I would recommend Bright & Early to anyone looking for quality care and education for their children.

I have used this center for the last 7+ years. My son is a graduate, now in 3rd grade, and my 3 year old daughter is currently enrolled. The staff is absolutely amazing. I have formed incredible trusted bonds with many of the teachers as well as the Director and Assistant Director Kara and Kelly. They say raising a child takes a village, B&E is my village. From infant to pre-school the teachers have all helped me navigate the many milestones of my children's growth and development. They know my children just as well as I do, and treat them as such.

Our kids have been attending Bright & Early Niantic since September 2015. We've been thrilled with the care they received when it was Kiddie Kampus and are loving the new company, Bright & Early. Lots of nice updates to the building, procedures, as well as snack provided and a great early opening time. They are kind and hardworking! For two parents who work full time, we would have been lost these last 4 years without B&E!

Just started using Bright & Early, but we love it so much already! The staff is kind and truly care for each child, as if they were their own! I love how they send me pictures of my daughter during the day and a report card at the end of each day. They offer different programs based on your child's age - glad that my daughter can grow with the programs!
