SCOTTY'S KIDDY KORNER PRESCHOOL AND DAY CARE LLC

70 WEST RD ELLINGTON, CT

Hello and thank you for your interest in Scotty’s Kiddy Korner. My name is Lillian Lanz and I am the Owner and Director of Scotty’s. I was born in Quito, Ecuador and came to America in 1973 after I graduated high school. While living in New York City, I attended Baruch College and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree. After I got married, I moved to Connecticut with my husband, Michael, and together we started a family. We have two wonderful sons, Scott and Steven. Scott graduated from Babson College with a degree in Business Administration and Finance. He has worked in New York City as a Financial Analyst in Investments for AXA Equitable and Merrill Lynch. He is currently working for Morgan Stanley. Scott and his wife, Massiel, currently live in Queens, New York. Steven graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point with a degree in Civil Engineering. He is currently a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army Reserve, as well as a Modernization Superintendent for Otis Elevator in Hartford. Steven is married to Moira and has three beautiful children, Weston, Jameson & Mattingly, who I love being a Grandma to. After Scott was born, he attended a local daycare center. After only a few months, the center closed and I was unable to find another daycare that met my expectations. It was then I decided to open my own daycare. With this decision, I went back to school and obtained my Child Development Associate Credentials from Capital Community Technical College in Hartford, CT. With all the love and support from my husband, I opened Scotty’s Kiddy Korner Preschool & Day Care, LLC in 1984. Originally a home based program licensed for six children (infants to school age). After several years, I expanded to a Group Day Care Home licensed for twelve children (all ages). In 1992, Scotty’s moved out of my home and into a facility, where we were licensed for 54 children (ages 6 weeks to 12 years). Scotty’s made one final move to where we are now in 2002, where we were able to accommodate 85 children (6 weeks to 12 years). After expanding the center to the second floor in 2017, we are now able to accommodate 112 children ages 6 weeks to 12 years of age. I do not have enough words to express my feelings toward children. It is a wonderful and rewarding experience to see these children grow physically, mentally, socially and emotionally, knowing that what I impart to them contributes to help form their lives, understand the world around them, and acquire a feeling of competence. A question I am always asked by parents and children is, “Why are you so dressed up?” I tell them that they are very important clients to me and that I believe my appearance, and that of the Center’s, should be neat and clean. I believe that the way you present yourself to the children tells them how important they are and that you care. Every day, I am here at Scotty’s at 6am to make sure everything is perfect for the children’s arrival. Every morning I welcome the children, eager to see them and start a whole new day of learning. I am happy to have wonderful teachers and caregivers that have been with me for so many years, and that have helped to make a positive difference in so many children’s lives. Included in this great staff is my husband, Michael, and daughter-in-law, Moira, who run the Administrative side of the business. I am truly blessed to have all of these people with the same passion for the business as I do. My goal for the future is to continue and maintain a loving, caring and nurturing environment where the children feel secure, socially accepted and have a positive attitude towards learning.

Care Member says "We couldn't be happier with our experience at Scotty’s Kiddy Korner. Over the past five years, our two kids have thrived in a nurturing and stimulating...

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Ellington, CT
