Waterbury, CT Serving Families Since Day One
A warm, loving, faith-based early learning center where little ones grow, explore, and build the skills they need for Kindergarten and beyond.
We believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing place to learn and grow. Here is what makes Country Garden different from the rest.
We are a nonprofit school. Every cent of profit is reinvested right back into the classroom, materials, and programs, not into a corporation's pocket.
We only close on major holidays. We offer makeup days so your child never misses out, and teacher training always happens on our time, not yours.
Every classroom has a dedicated, full-time teacher so your child builds a real, consistent relationship with their educator every single day.
Our curriculum is aligned with the CT ELDS, a research-based framework that guides learning from birth through Kindergarten. Every activity is intentionally designed to build language, literacy, math, and social-emotional skills so children are truly ready for Kindergarten and beyond.
We host frequent events that invite parents and families into the school. You will always know what is happening in your child's day and you are always welcome to be part of it.
We offer a warm, faith-centered atmosphere with a prayer at every meal, giving children a sense of gratitude, community, and love as part of their daily routine.
No phone trees, no automated systems. When you call Country Garden, a real human being picks up, because your family deserves that personal touch.
Fully licensed by the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood, so you can trust that we meet the highest standards for health, safety, and quality care.
We proudly accept Care 4 Kids assistance and offer easy pay options including credit card, cash, and check, because quality early learning should be accessible.
Transparent pricing, flexible payment, and hours designed to support your family's schedule.
