Creative Starts Learning Center Is Doing It Local!

I had fun meeting the children and staff at the Creative Starts Learning Center at 2189 Barnum Avenue in Stratford yesterday.  The kids loved seeing the Interstate race car and the staff was quick to be creative and had the children identify the colors of the car and  the number on the car.  Their favorite sticker on the car was the M&M bag–mine too!

 

I asked director Marta Saklawska to describe here facilities, she said:

At Creative Starts Learning Center we strive to provide a healthy and safe environment that allows children to grow and learn through a variety of physical, social, emotional and intellectual activities. We provide care for children 6 weeks to 12 years old with individual programs for infants, toddlers, preschool, pre-k and before/after school. Our wonderful group of teachers are trained in First Aid, CPR, and to administer medication. We are licensed by the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood.

With two Childcare Centers located in Stratford, Creative Starts Learning Center serves families in the areas of Stratford, Bridgeport and surrounding towns. We are located just off exit 32 on I95, and blocks away from the Stratford Metro-North Train Station”.

 

As I mentioned, the staff was so friendly.  One thing I did notice and Marta failed to report was that I found the facility to be extremely clean which would be a huge consideration if I were looking for a a child care facility for my children!  Give them call at 203- 612-7717 or visit them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/CreativeStartsLearningCenter/ or on Instagram at @CreativeStartsLearningCenter

First Selectman Mike Tetreau has proclaimed today, Monday, January 9, 2017, as National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day in the Town of Fairfield. National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, or L.E.A.D. Day, is celebrated every January 9th across the country.

Law Enforcement in Fairfield was first organized in the year 1661 with the appointment of the first Town Marshall. The standing Police Department was created by Town Ordinance in 1930
with 7 officers to protect and serve the citizens of Fairfield. This original seven man department has grown to employ 108 sworn officers, 70 special agents, 15 telecommunicators, 4 Animal
Control Officers and 7 Marina Guards.

In his proclamation which was presented at a recent Board of Selectmen meeting, First Selectman Tetreau states that the Town of Fairfield wishes to publicly recognize and thank the dedicated men and women of Fairfield’s Police Department. On Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, and every day, Fairfield supports and recognizes all those who stand on the front lines and continue to make Fairfield safer.

The proclamation encourages citizens to show their appreciation for law enforcement by simply thanking them in person for all they do to make our community so much better.
