Catbells is a flexible program, focused on creating a nurturing environment that will enrich the lives of young children. Owned and operated by Diana Theriault, it is fully licensed as a home daycare. Diana began working with children when her daughter was about a year old. She started as a teaching assistant in the Step By Step (two's transition) program at Xanadu Family Center. After a short time, she began designing her own curriculum for a program called Play To Learn. Upon Xanadu's closing, Diana designed and taught a private class to several children from the Xanadu program. When her son was born, she began teaching a baby class geared toward offering developmentally appropriate activities to children under a year, while helping mothers to connect with other mothers. Diana has worked as a nanny to a family in Cheshire with three children, and has designed and taught after school art classes at Bear Path Elementary.

The Learning Curve is a daycare with child-centered classrooms created for responsiveness to the children’s needs where they are likely to flourish. A child-centered classroom differs from a teacher-directed in the materials, questions, and activities introduced by the teacher are open-ended. There are many possible answers to questions and many ways of making something. The materials in the classrooms contain a variety of ideas and uses. Children come to The Learning Curve Daycare center with myriad interests and questions, and tremendous energy for learning. The director provides an environment that nurtures this natural energy. Careful listening and observation enable the director to stretch and develop the concepts and thinking of the children. Website: tlcdaycarect.com

Today, the importance of positive childhood experiences, starting from infancy, and their relation to future success in life is universally understood. It wasn't so when we began in 1986. When we originally selected the name "Educational Playcare", it was because of our understanding of the importance of play in order for learning to take place. We also knew the importance of providing a nurturing, secure, joyful and stimulating environment. Children learn best through direct experience. We believe that this direct experience is best gained through play, for play is the work of children. It is through play that children develop concepts about themselves and the world around them. Our goal is to provide the ideal environment to support the "work" of children. Educational Playcare was established in 1986 to provide full and part-time childcare and educational programs for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. We are proud of our reputation as the provider of the highest-quality childcare, nursery school, and preschool programs for children that can be found anywhere. We've distinguished ourselves by providing exceptional services through being consistently at the cutting edge of technology as it applies to the early childhood industry and we've maintained these high standards with the quality control that comes from being owner operated. Despite our relatively small size, however, we are still able to offer all of the benefits of the large "corporate" child care centers and more! It has been our privilege to provide childcare services to thousands of families in Connecticut. In fact, some of our previous students have come back to work for us and help nurture the next generation!
