Daycare in Bridgeport — FAQ

What are the staff-to-child ratios at daycare centers in Bridgeport?

Connecticut's Office of Early Childhood (OEC) sets these ratios for licensed daycare centers: 1 caregiver per 4 infants (under 12 months), 1 per 4 one-year-olds, 1 per 5 two-year-olds (updated October 2024), 1 per 10 preschoolers (3–5 years), and 1 per 10 school-age children. Ask your Bridgeport center for their actual staffing levels — ratios directly affect the quality of care your child receives.

How do I choose a good daycare in Bridgeport?

Visit in person during operating hours to observe the environment and how staff interact with children. Check that the center is licensed by CT OEC (portal.ct.gov/oec) and ask to see the current license posted at the entrance. Confirm actual staff-to-child ratios, ask about staff turnover and training requirements, and request references from current parents. Look for age-appropriate activities, clean facilities, and a structured daily schedule.
