We recognize that saying we offer “the best day care in Middletown” might sound a little self-assured. But at Celebree School of Middletown, we don’t make that claim lightly. We’ve built our program around decades of experience, heartfelt dedication, and a deep understanding of what children (and parents) really need.
We know you’re not just looking for a place to drop off your child. You’re searching for a partner and a community that will nurture your child’s curiosity, encourage their growth, and make them feel safe and celebrated every single day.
Here’s what to look for in a great day care, and why Celebree checks every box.
- A Safe, Secure, and Supportive Environment
Your child’s safety should never be something you have to worry about. That’s why we’ve designed every corner of our school to give you peace of mind.
At Celebree School of Middletown, you’ll find:
- Limited-access entry systems with family-specific security codes.
- Closed-circuit cameras for additional safety oversight.
- CPR- and First Aid-certified educators who exceed state training requirements.
- Rigorous staff background checks and clear safety protocols.
We know trust is earned, not assumed, and we work to earn yours every day.
- A Curriculum That Inspires Learning (and Joy)
Children are naturally curious. They ask, explore, and create, and at Celebree, we make sure those instincts flourish. Our curriculum is built on the Seven Domains of Learning, designed to support every area of development: physical, social, emotional, and cognitive.
We focus on interest-based learning, meaning your child’s curiosity leads the way.
Here’s how that comes to life:
- Hands-on activities that make learning fun and meaningful.
- Daily routines that build independence and self-confidence.
- Early literacy, math, and STEM exploration through play.
- Social-emotional lessons that teach empathy and teamwork.
At Celebree, learning doesn’t feel like work. It feels like discovery.
- Programs That Grow With Your Child
Your child changes so much in these first few years, and we grow right alongside them. From infant care through preschool, our programs are designed to meet your child where they are and guide them toward what comes next.
- Infant Program: Gentle, responsive care that builds trust and connection.
- Toddler Program: Playful routines that encourage curiosity and independence.
- Preschool Program: Purposeful, engaging learning that prepares your child for kindergarten.
We celebrate milestones big and small, from first steps to first friendships, and give your child the confidence to take the next one.
- Teachers Who Truly See Your Child
The heart of Celebree is our teachers. They’re not just early educators. They’re passionate mentors who take time to understand every child’s personality, strengths, and challenges.
Our teachers:
- Receive continuous professional development in early childhood education.
- Foster inclusive classrooms where every child feels seen and valued.
- Balance structure with warmth, helping children feel both secure and adventurous.
We believe kids learn best when they’re known, and at Celebree, your child is never just a name on a roster.
- A True Partnership with Parents
No one knows your child better than you. That’s why we view parents as partners, not just participants.
You’ll always be included through:
- Daily updates about your child’s day, from naps to new words.
- Parent-teacher conferences that focus on growth and goals.
- An open-door policy that welcomes you to visit, observe, and connect anytime.
We want you to feel as confident at drop-off as you do at pick-up.
- A Community That Feels Like Home
When you walk into Celebree School of Middletown, you’ll notice something right away: the sense of belonging. The smiles. The laughter. The genuine connection between teachers, children, and families.
We’re here from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., offering the reliability working parents need and the consistency children thrive on. More importantly, we’re here to make every child and every parent feel like part of the Celebree family.
