Our Team
About Us
Toddlertime is owned and operated by Barbara Davis and Carolyn Williams, two New Canaan moms and businesswomen who were lucky to get the opportunity to trade in their brief cases to educate children. We are passionate about providing children with the best early childhood education possible. We invite you and your child to come experience our program, talk with our staff, and ask every question you have. Call 203.972.3111 to schedule a visit or click here to contact us.
We have creative and highly qualified staff members who plan, implement and evaluate the classroom curriculum to provide your child with the highest quality of early childhood education. The activities planned for the children, the way the environment is organized, the selection of toys and materials, the flow of the daily schedule and the interactions with the children are all designed to accomplish the goals of Toddlertime’s curriculum.
Deborah Armijo
Deborah lives in New Canaan with her husband, daughter and two rambunctious Welsh Springer Spaniels. She earned a BA degree in Mathematics from University of Colorado, Boulder, and an MBA from NYU. After working at JPMorgan for nearly 20 years designing databases and teaching classes on interpreting data sets, she stepped away from the business world to raise her daughter. She loves to travel and has been to all the continents except Antarctica. In her free time, Deborah can usually be found trying to tame and revitalize her mature landscaping. She loves incorporating her joy of math into the school day.

Born and raised in Greenwich, CT, she now lives in New Canaan with her husband, who is a New Canaan Fire Fighter, three grown children and her sweet Doodle named Bella.

Blessed to have lifelong girlfriends since kindergarten, she’s enjoys taking girls trips including one to Iceland where she went snowmobiling on a glacier.

We asked our teachers what makes Toddlertime different and this is what they said:
The mission of Toddlertime’s educational program is to provide a foundation for success in life. With this goal in mind, we have been inspired by leaders of education, business, and health fields to create an educational program that not only prepares children for later success in school but also develops key skills which will serve children throughout life.
