Daycare shopping- Connecticut

By the time we arrived in our new home state, we were sold on putting Carson back into daycare. Three days of driving a car loaded with the Princess’ clothes and Carson asking “why” for 1600 miles will do that to you. Fortunately, we had just purchased a new car with a TV and headphones, so at least he was receiving some education, if you call Grease education. As you know from my previous blog on TV vs. Daycare, I do. And the Princess doesn’t.

So upon arriving I quickly scoured the area in Stamford and came up with a great option. Which is to say, the Princess asked around at the office and made a list for me to call. As you now know, the Princess likes lists. And I like to sleep in bed instead of the couch.

The office has a Bright Horizons daycare center on site so we looked at it very closely since it met the Princess criteria of convenience. And as it so happened, we looked at two other Bright Horizons centers.

The center at the office was full at the time so we chose the center at Long Ridge. We liked the center and the teachers we met. I liked the playground. As you know from previous posts, this is important to Carson (and me).

Well it worked out because Carson is thriving. He is already learning to read, which is 2 years sooner than I did. And he can count to a hundred. Like his dad, he can’t draw, but he tries. And he has learned to sing and dance with his teachers.

More importantly, he has many girlfriends, thus proving my theory that TV also works, since he learned that secret from Grease. Fortunately, none of them wear leather and spandex. But that’s another story.
