The Nurturing Nest and Early Learning Center believes that great child care depends upon consistent caregiving in a home-like atmosphere. Our founders Tory Griffin and Shelly Owen have witnessed firsthand that children grow and learn best in a safe and nurturing environment that provides opportunities to explore and create. Since 2018, we’ve been offering this type of environment to infants and toddlers so that they can grow and thrive. If you’re looking for quality child care for your little one in the Southington, CT area, we invite you to discover why so many families love The Nurturing Nest.
Our founders have over 30 years of experience in the child care industry, and they put that experience to work at The Nurturing Nest every day. When Tory and Shelly saw long waitlists for local child care centers, they knew that there was a huge need for families with small children that wasn’t being adequately met. On a mission to help local families and with a true passion for working with children and helping them grow, they created The Nurturing Nest.
When you’re looking for care for your child, you want the very best. We strive to put you at ease so you can do what you need to do while knowing that your child is not only well taken care of, but also learning and growing developmentally. We provide consistent, thoughtful child care with a dedicated teaching staff that is CPR- and First Aid-certified, and is required to participate in continuing education throughout the year. Our creative-based curriculum meets all state of Connecticut educational guidelines, as do our child-to-teacher ratios.
The Nurturing Nest is a professional early learning center focused on providing children with a safe and creative environment to grow and play.
