How do I choose a good daycare in Fairfield?
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.
