But this week's winner was not the only local preschool to receive heartfelt endorsements from readers.

posted this comment on program:

"The FRC is such a valuable asset to the community. Marissa Is very knowledgable, helpful and nice. She works hard and genuinly cares about the children. Both of my sons have been in the play group through this program. It has been a great introduction into a structured learning environment. It's been very helpful for my children to learn and interact with their peers. It's also been nice to meet other parents with children that are the same age as mine. Without this program I would not be able to afford a daycare that could offer this wonderful experience for my children."

And East Haven Patch reader and blogger shared her family's experience with the Little Jackets preschool program:

"My son went to the pre-school program at Little Jackets and had an amazing experience. He is almost 13 and still remembers his teacher and how much he loved her!! He was so ready for Kindergarten and Elementary school because of his experience at Little Jackets. (He also went to the after school program in Kindergarten with the same teachers....they were wonderful). Great program!!"
