Lorry's Butterfly Garden Family Home Daycare has been a cornerstone of early childhood care in Waterbury for over 15 years. Founded by Lorry herself, our program blends structured learning with the warmth and comfort only a home setting can provide.
Small group sizes in a comfortable residential setting where every child feels safe and valued.
Developmentally tailored activities that spark curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
Daily updates and ongoing dialogue with parents so you're always connected to your child's day.
From first steps to school readiness, our age-specific programs nurture growth at every level.
Gentle, responsive care focused on bonding, sensory exploration, and building the foundation of trust and security.
Active play, language development, and social skills in a stimulating environment that encourages independence and discovery.
School readiness through structured learning, early literacy, numeracy, and creative expression — building confidence for the classroom.
We believe the best early learning happens when children feel loved, secure, and free to explore.
No institutional feel — just a cozy, safe home where children are treated like family and every need is met with personal attention.
With over 15 years of experience, Lorry brings genuine warmth and deep expertise to everything she does with your children.
Fully licensed by the state of Connecticut with child-proofed spaces, secure outdoor play areas, and rigorous safety protocols.
A thoughtful mix of structured activities, free play, outdoor time, and rest — each day thoughtfully planned for holistic development.
Intimate settings ensure every child receives individualized attention, meaningful interactions, and care tailored to their pace.
We keep you in the loop with daily reports, photos, and open conversations — because your involvement matters to us.
From creative arts to outdoor adventures, here's what a day at Butterfly Garden looks like.
Nothing makes us prouder than the trust and gratitude of the families we serve.
"Lorry has been an absolute blessing for our family. Our daughter went from being shy and hesitant to blossoming into a confident, happy kid. The home environment makes such a difference — she actually gets excited to go every morning."
"As a first-time mom, I was incredibly anxious about finding the right daycare. From our very first visit, I felt at ease. The daily updates and photos give me peace of mind while I'm at work. I couldn't recommend Butterfly Garden more."
"My son attended Butterfly Garden for two years before starting school, and the preparation he received was outstanding. He was reading at a level ahead of his class and had wonderful social skills. Lorry truly cares about each child's growth."
