Full Ranking Detail
PreschoolToddlerAges 2-6Meals Included
Sunny Day Learning Center in Norwalk serves children ages 2-6 through three developmentally tiered programs (Explorers, Imagineers, and Creators) with a structured emphasis on kindergarten readiness. The program prioritizes smaller class sizes, strong phonics and math foundations, and integrated social-emotional development through group activities and outdoor play. Breakfast and snacks are provided daily, staff hold current CPR and first-aid certification, and the center partners with county subsidy programs to make care more accessible. Operating hours are 7:00 am to 5:30 pm Monday through Friday under DCF License #198019943. The center's Facebook presence shows limited public review coverage, and as it does not serve infants under 2 years, families needing infant care will need to look elsewhere.
