Bright & Early Middletown, CT

The director and assistant director are terrible. The looks are unapproachable, inappropriate, and unprofessional. You are dealing with children. If this is the vibe you want to give off go work in a different field. I think its disgusting the way things are handled here. The cliques of teachers more concerned talking amongst themselves at drop off in the morning about what they did the night before, unnecessary. I also think the neglect of the childrens needs first is remarkable. Im sure the owners arent able to see as they are probably rarely in attendance. These are our children, pay more money and go down the street to kindercare like we did. Bright and early is true to statement you get what you pay for. 25 years ago they were wonderful. Now, not so much.im glad we are gone! Thank you for a terrible experience, guys!

Not sure who is the director or who works there, but every time I apply they always say no but I have my associates for early education. They always post they need help or need new staff but I am always denied rift after applying on indeed. Not sure who has the issue but thats not professional. I called and got hung up on, called back and got sent to voicemail three times. I am lucky and blessed to find another daycare with better sanitation and caring workers as well as having a staff that cares for the children. Not a good look when everyone says the same thing or if you have an issue with someone that you never worked with and just know from school or bars . Weird.

Theyre always looking for applicants but so quick to turn down minenot too sure if its a personal thing or they have an idea of what type of people they would like to work there-its quite alright because theyll remain understaffed.

Where can I start....We switched our kids over to Bright & Early a year or so ago, never looked back. We love this early childhood center. Everyone is amazing. The director Kaitlyn and assistant director Jenn are truly special people. They go above and beyond for the families that are enrolled at the center. If every an issue arises, Miss Kaitlyn and Miss Jenn handle with wonderful professionalism and care. They are truly wonderful. I can't say enough wonderful things about them! The team they have at Bright & early are just as wonderful. Dropping your child off with anyone is hard and weighs heaving on a parent's heart, but this team ensures your worries are at ease. Just a wonderful place!!!

Returning to work after Maternity leave is very difficult, B&E Middletown really helped navigate that hard transition as a new parent of leaving your infant with people you are unfamiliar with. They provided constant communication and made us feel safe leaving our daughter in their hands. We moved 4 houses down from the Bright & Early in West Hartford, but we love the staff so much at the Bright & Early in Middletown that we would rather drive to Middletown and keep our daughter there than the convenience of walking to her to the West Hartford branch. Our daughter not only loves the staff but also the rock wall they have in the indoor gym. I can not recommend B&E Middletown enough! You won't be disappointed with the care they provide for your child.
