Thanks everyone for your advice and accounts of the issues plaguing MSOE! I’ll definitely have to reconsider the daycare situation. Any advice for someone looking for daycare for a child who’ll be about 1 year old when enrolling?

We’re moving to the area shortly, and we’re looking at daycares as well. We found the Montessori on Edgewood, in Dwight, and met (virtually) with the director, who seems excellent. They offer full time care, and their tuition is indexed to household income, as per the CT fee schedule here.

On the other hand, a friend of a friend was a visiting professor last semester, and had very good things to say about the Bright Horizons at Yale West Campus. They said that though it looked horribly corporate at first, the teachers were quite lovely. Hope this helps!

Moving to the area in March, and also looking for a great cleaning service. We’ll be in Dwight.
