Experienced Teachers

Your child’s teacher will know their quirks, their milestones, and exactly what makes them light up.

Why Middletown Families Love Ducklings

Montana B.
We sent our daughter to Ducklings and had THE most wonderful experience. The staff, the facility, the curriculum and the activities they plan for the children and the families are wonderful. We loved our experience and our daughter loved her experience. All our daughter’s teachers were so nurturing and caring and my daughter really flourished during her time there. Thank you, Ducklings!
Pradeep N.
I really appreciate the wonderful care this daycare provides. The teachers are amazing — they give personal attention to each child and truly make them feel supported and cared for. The environment is warm, welcoming, and very well-run. Overall, I love the facility and feel confident knowing my child is in great hands. Highly recommend.
Drew G.
Our daughter has attended Ducklings since it first opened and we've had a great experience. The teachers are top-notch and truly care about the children in their classes. Management is also excellent and do a great job with respect to communication and making themselves available for any questions or concerns (thank you Whitney, Ashley & Bryan!) Although our daughter is now moving on to kindergarten, we know she'll miss her time at Ducklings.
