About Us
At Pollywogs Child Development Center our mission is to foster a love of learning through hands-on, child guided experiences.

Utilizing our inviting spaces, trained teachers, and the state of Connecticut's Early Learning and Development Standards, Pollywogs Child Development Center provides the highest quality care and education.
Our indoor play space consists of an impressive 3000 square foot "rainy day" room, allowing room to run, get our energy out and gross motor skill building.

Our facility offers infant, waddler, and toddler rooms along with a Kindergarten Prep Preschool program. We also offer before and after school programs with exciting activities. After school program is free to any students that have a full-time sibling enrolled.
Pollywogs focuses on learning through play! Our separate indoor play space consists of 3000 square feet of nothing but fun with ample space for our after school kids to have their own "hang-out". Outside our students will have the opportunity to explore nature at our frog pond, or take nature hikes in the woods, or even have fun gardening. We have over 2.5 acres of land to explore and have adventures together!
FOOD PROGRAM
Pollywogs believes in a holistic approach. We believe in the whole development of a child; nourishing mind and body. Every year the pre-school children plant a beautiful vegetable garden. This year we will use that garden in our soon to be food program. The children will grow their own food that will be used in their meals. We use natural composting for fertilizer and we do not use pesticides. I am so excited to announce Pollywogs will offer all meals and snacks, coming soon. We will use only whole, natural, non-processed food. My hope is to have chickens as well so we can have fresh eggs.
