The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Nurturing Small Group Pods, Storytime Groves & Shaded Splash Zones in Greenwich. Designed for Ages 3 to 6. The early childhood & little campers programming has real bright spots, but the daily schedule felt inconsistently paced during our visit. (per our Greenwich visit, est. 1957) Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Pool access is inconsistent — some weeks get real instruction, others are closer to unsupervised splash time. (per our Greenwich visit, est. 1957)
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:3 (Nursery/Pre-K), 1:4 (Kindergarten). Staff at Polliwog Junior Day Camp lean young, and supervision quality depended heavily on which specific counselor was on duty.
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Bus routes serving Greenwich were inconsistent in our tracking, sometimes running 15-20 minutes off schedule. Lunch quality varied by day.
Tuition Range: $1180 – $1430 / week
👍 What We Loved
- When the 1:3 (Nursery/Pre-K) ratio held, supervision quality was genuinely good (per our Greenwich visit, est. 1957)
- A core group of veteran counselors clearly cares about the kids (per our Greenwich visit, est. 1957)
- A few families we spoke with in Greenwich had entirely positive experiences (per our Greenwich visit, est. 1957)
⚠️ What to Consider
- Communication was inconsistent — some updates, long silences other weeks (per our Greenwich visit, est. 1957)
- Billing questions we raised took longer than they should have to get answered (per our Greenwich visit, est. 1957)
- Staff turnover mid-summer disrupted bunk continuity for several families (per our Greenwich visit, est. 1957)
