Our two kids have gone here through Pre-k and we could not be happier. The staff is incredible and it was paramount to us that our children spent time outside while learning. As a nature based school the staff at SHCCC prioritizes outdoor space and integrating nature into the curriculum. We couldn't be happier with the experience we've had here!

I fell in love with this little preschool after one visit, and we visited all the schools!! The opportunity to learn in a national park like Sandy Hook is not to be missed! The teachers really care and the outdoor experiences the kids have are downright magical. If you have not been to Sandy Hook, I can't recommend enough visiting with your kids to see for yourself. Fingers crossed you get a spot in this tiny gem!!

Our daughter attended Sandy Hook Child Care Center for two years she absolutely loved it. The kids spend so much time outside learning about nature. The class size is small so all the kids and teachers become a little family. I love that her journey of learning began with Mother Nature. There is no school like this one, I highly recommend!

We were thrilled from the moment we realized there was a child care option out at the tip of Sandy Hook.  We were even more thrilled after we met the teachers and learned there was a spot available for our son.  He loved it.  We loved it. Enrolling him at Sandy Hook Child Care Center was honestly one of the best decisions we've made.  He was surrounded by small friends of all ages and teachers who truly loved him. Our hearts melt when we pull out holiday decorations he made while being there. We enjoyed the app they used to relay updates - from what he was eating, to doing his business, and pictures. All the staff clearly knew the kids well and cared for them like they were part of a family. Love and the outdoors is exactly what a child needs - and that's exactly what you'll find here!

SHCCC is a remarkable child care center that will always have a place in our hearts. Both of our daughters spent several years there, and they grew up in the shadow of nurturing teachers who were remarkably engaged in each child's development. And it was FUN! So much outdoor play, regular walks along the water spotting seals and other wildlife every day. Parent engagement is also very high and the Center leans on the talents and contributions of every mom and dad. A special place of learning in a stunningly beautiful setting - a real gem!
