Frequently asked questions
The questions families ask us most — and honest answers from the people who’ll be caring for your child.
Programs & enrollment
What accreditations does Curley's have?
Our center is state-licensed and regularly inspected to make sure everything meets or exceeds standards, including child-to-teacher ratios and safe facilities. Curleys Kids is accredited by NAEYC, the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
Do you offer part-time schedules?
Everybody’s schedule is different, so we’re happy to offer quality, affordable part-time and full-time child care. Drop-in care may also be available. Reach out to your center director to learn more.
Which schools do you provide transportation to?
We bus to Colchester Elementary School.
Daily care
How does naptime work?
Our teachers meet every child’s needs during naptime. They know how to help babies and children of every age settle down and get the rest their growing bodies need, and they keep a calm, consistent routine so rest time feels predictable.
How can I stay connected to my child’s day?
We partner with Brightwheel, a top-tier parent communication app. It’s your headquarters for peeking into your child’s day — photos, updates, daily reports, and messages, right from your phone.
Does my child need to be potty-trained?
Every child begins toilet learning at a different age. Until your child shows an interest in toilet learning, we’ll provide diaper changes on an as-needed basis. When your child shows interest, we’ll discuss how to work together to encourage them.
Costs & safety
Does Curley's accept financial aid or any financial support?
Yes! We accept several fee-assistance options, including state and local child care subsidy programs, military support, and employer benefits. We also offer part-time scheduling options, sibling discounts, and referral rewards. See ways to save.
How do you keep kids safe in hot and cold weather?
Your child’s safety comes first. Our teams follow all state licensing rules for hot and cold weather, plus our own safety guidelines, to decide whether it’s safe to play outside and for how long. We look at temperature, humidity, and wind chill, and our guidelines are supported by the National Weather Service and state licensing rules.
How do you keep children safe every day?
Our center is state-licensed and regularly inspected, with secure entrances, sign-in procedures, and daily cleaning routines. Every team member clears rigorous national and state background checks before joining a classroom. Learn more about safety.
