Shaping Bright Futures

A 501(c)3 Non-Profit NAEYC Accredited Childcare Center

What We Offer

Safety and Security

Our center is equipped with a complete security system, including cameras in every classroom, common area and entrance. Cameras can be accessed by our administrative body to review any incidents and maintain vigilance of operations.

Health and Wellness

We receive weekly visits from a nurse consultant, who tracks the children’s health and well-being. They are responsible for maintaining care plans for kids who require them, and communicating with pediatricians about immunization and illness.

Our teachers are First Aid and CPR certified, and can offer emergency support if needed.

Nutritious Meals

We offer three daily meals (breakfast, lunch and snack) to all children in our care. A chef freshly prepares them in our professional grade kitchen and distributes them to classrooms.

Our menu is compliant with OEC requirements and offers a variety of carbs, proteins, vegetables and fruit. Families receive weekly menus to stay updated on their children’s diet.

The menu is adaptable for children with allergies, intolerances or religious restrictions.

Meals are served family style and encourage children to use table manners and engage with each other.

Communication with Families

Our center uses the Procare platform to maintain an open line of communication with families.

The platform tracks every child in the building for attendance and security. Their families check children in and out upon arriving and exiting.

It also allows teachers to keep families updated on their child’s activities, meal intake, potty/diapering and occasional incidents.

Education and Curriculum

Our NAEYC accreditation ensures our center is compliant with their standards and offers a complete age-appropriate curriculum that is equally fun and educating.

Our methodology focuses on individualized lessons, mindful of each child’s needs, as well as group activities and child-led practices.

An Educational Consultant visits our center periodically to support teachers, address lesson planning and track student progress.

Testimonials

Jessica

“I’ve had a wonderful experience with Good Child. Before enrolling my son, who was 18mo, doctors told me he was struggling developmentally and would not speak. I needed a childcare provider that would allow my son to grow at his own pace, and Good Child was exactly that. His teachers were kind, patient and supportive, and helped him gain confidence, self awareness and trust. The personalized care he received really changed our lives. Today, he is 6 years old, speaks clearly, and is academically ready for Kindergarten. We love the center so much that he will continue to attend after school.”

Lynette & Liberty

“I write this letter with tears in my eyes, half tears of sorrow and half tears of joy. I cannot thank you enough for the last few years. I feel so blessed that Liberty was able to be a part of GCDC. It is more like a family than a daycare. Being able to leave your child somewhere for hours every day without worry is beyond priceless. Every one of you has played an intricate role in making her the little person she has become today. Words cannot express my gratitude. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart and appreciate everything everyone has done over the years. We will miss you all dearly!”

Sylvia

“After visiting ALL other child care facilities in our hometown of Milford, Good Child provided the best environment with caring staff & state of the art security. I knew when I went to work my kids were safe and in good hands. When I was a brand new Mother, the staff at Good Child helped me adjust to my new role in life, instilling confidence in me and helped me understand my child’s development. As with any relationship, when I had concerns or questions, I would feel welcome to talk it over with Teachers and Staff. They are always willing to listen and help resolve concerns. If we have a third child, no doubt would we enroll them in Good Child again.”
