Ann L. Gilnack Daycare

Welcome to Ann L. G. Daycare. Being the oldest of five children, I have always had a love of and cared for children. My 30+ year state licensed group home daycare cares for children from the age of 6 weeks to 12 years from 7 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday to Friday. Both my sister and I have an early childhood education foundation from Central Connecticut State College. We strive to lovingly nurture, guide, and educate children in a safe and caring home environment. I have a full preschool program incorporating various periodicals (Let's Find Out! and Science Spin) and crafts to fully prepare children for Kindergarten. We read stories many times during the day to encourage the children's love of books. We are conveniently located on a cul-de-sac off Hebron Avenue and in the Hebron Avenue and Glastonbury/East Hartford Magnet School districts for before and after daycare. We currently have availability for children over 1 year of age. Please call for more information and to discuss fees for full or part time daycare.

I have two children 5 (J) months and 22(A) months enrolled here. My oldest has been there since she was 4 months. A is learning so much here, she has started singing her ABC's, and potty training herself (no seriously ...) She has learned excellent problem solving skills and how to play nice with other kids. Ann is very responsive to check ins by phone or drop by and always keeps me completely informed on how they are doing. I never hear her yell and she is always positive with the children. She does daily lessons from penguins and bugs, to geography and arts and crafts. The television is NEVER on. No cartoons or movies here. She reads to my littlest and they all do music time. I love how she includes J in daily activities. I am very pleased of the care that she provides my children. Its the most imortant job in the whole world!

Ann and Barbara are great! The daycare is really warm and friendly. Ann always fills us in on what happens during the day and I feel like she gears the projects toward what interests the kids. My son loves animals and puzzles; maybe it's coincidence but it seems like since he's developed those interests they've been doing more of those things. He's almost 3 and he knows all of his letter sounds. In the summer he comes home dirty from playing outside, which makes me happy! Ann has been running this daycare forever (she even has a college student who occasionally helps her out who was once actually enrolled in the school) and I trust her completely.

We love Ann! I started my son after about a year in a preschool that wasn't in someone's home. There, at the end of every day, he would do this adorable running hug shouting "mommy" all the way down the hall at pick up time. First day at Ann's? He stalked over to me, crossed his arms, and said "want more Annie's house". Ann and her sister are great. I love the periodicals they do with the kids - my son actually comes home telling me what he learned (he's 2.5 and tells me about the mayflower and the "big feast"). There are multiple age kids, so he's got an older elementary school girl whose there in the mornings to dote on him, and he learns to be patient with the babies. Ann is really laid back - she doesn't hold me to a really strict schedule, which is really nice - just basic consideration.
