Helping Children Learn, Grow & Thrive in Meriden, CT

At Fairy Tales Child Care & Development Center, we believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing place where they can feel comfortable, build confidence and discover the joy of learning. For more than 20 years, families have trusted our Meriden child care center to provide caring, dependable early childhood education during some of the most important years of a child’s development.

Our state-licensed child care center provides age-appropriate programs for infants, toddlers, preschool and nursery school children, along with summer camp programming. Through a balance of attentive care, structured learning, creative activities and plenty of opportunities to play and explore, we help children develop the skills they need for the next stage of their journey.

More Than Child Care — A Place to Learn and Belong

Children learn best when they feel secure, supported and excited to participate. That’s why our teachers work to create a welcoming environment where every child is encouraged to explore at their own pace while becoming part of a classroom community.

Our innovative, age-appropriate curriculum incorporates activities such as stories and circle time, arts and crafts, sensory exploration, fine and gross motor development, early math and literacy, music, movement and hands-on learning.

Just as importantly, children have opportunities to practice the everyday skills that help build independence, confidence, communication and positive relationships with others.

Every stage of early childhood brings new milestones, interests and challenges. Our programs are designed around the developmental needs of each age group so children can receive appropriate care while continuing to learn and grow.

Caring for the Whole Child

Early childhood development goes far beyond learning letters and numbers. At Fairy Tales, we support children’s social, emotional, cognitive, language and physical development throughout the day.

We understand that children develop at different rates. Our goal is to provide the encouragement, structure and individual attention children need to feel successful while celebrating the milestones that make every child’s development unique.
