Parents are empowered to make meaningful decisions regarding their child’s development and education. An important step is choosing the best learning environment and educational philosophy during these foundational and formative years.
The Montessori philosophy is uniquely based on individualized, whole-child learning and each SAM Lead Teacher is AMI Montessori trained and certified. The curriculum masterfully and cohesively inter-connects the social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth and well-being of the child through project based, experiential learning in a supportive environment designed to meet the specific needs of each student.
Seven Acres Montessori is an independent non-profit school accredited by both The Association Montessori Internationale and The Connecticut Association of Independent Schools.
Prospective Parents are invited to meet virtually with our Admissions Director to discuss the benefits of a Montessori education at Seven Acres for children ages 14 months - 12 years, and learn about our Before and After School Programs.

CT State Norwalk will be hosting FAFSA sessions on Tuesday, December 16 from 10:00am - 2:00pm to support individuals in completing their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) applications. 
Staff from Financial Aid Services offices will be available to assist with FAFSA-related questions and renewals. 
Connecticut’s deadline for priority consideration is February 15, although individuals should submit the form as soon as possible for the best chances at institutional aid. Prospective students should contact their financial aid office at the college or university they plan to attend.
Free tuition is available at CT State Community College to Connecticut residents who are high school graduates, whether from the state or elsewhere, and are attending college for the first time. Anyone who first attended college in fall 2020 or later may be eligible, as well. Accessing the free tuition program and any financial aid starts with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov. The free tuition program is not income-based. All students who plan on attending full- or part-time should complete the FAFSA so they can access the program, even if they do not think they will quality for need-based aid. Program funding is available on a rolling basis; applicants can see if they qualify at <a href="https://www.ctstate.edu/free-tuition" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.ctstate.edu/free-tuition</a>. 
Prospective college students still have time to apply and receive free tuition for spring 2026 semester at any of CT State’s campuses statewide, and can enroll full- or part-time. 
The first steps are to apply to CT State Community College at <a href="https://ctstate.edu/apply" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ctstate.edu/apply</a> and complete the 2025-2026 FAFSA at FAFSA.gov, selecting CT State’s 007635 federal school code. A FAFSA form is required regardless of family income for those who may be eligible. Free tuition is an option even if no other financial aid is awarded, as long as funds remain available. To see eligibility requirements, visit ctstate.edu/free-tuition. 
CT State offers more than 300 associate degrees and certificates that may be eligible for federal financial aid. Spring credit classes begin January 23.

Dogtopia – Dog Daycare, Boarding, Spa & Wellness

Dogtopia of Norwalk

At Dogtopia, we believe your pup deserves the absolute best in care, safety, and play. Whether you’re dropping off for a few hours of play, an overnight stay, or a relaxing spa treatment, Dogtopia is your dog’s home away from home. Our dog daycare provides a safe, supervised, and engaging environment where dogs can enjoy off-leash play in spacious playrooms designed for their comfort. Each playroom is separated by size and temperament, ensuring every pup is paired with the right friends for safe socialization. Our highly trained Canine Coaches are always on hand to encourage good behavior, monitor interactions, and provide lots of love and attention. Dogtopia isn’t just about play — it’s about wellness, too. A day at Dogtopia helps your dog stay active, burn off energy, and return home happy and relaxed. To support overall health, we offer the DASH Activity Collar — a daycare-approved smart collar. DASH tracks your dog’s activity levels, rest, and wellness, giving you valuable insights into their health and behavior both at Dogtopia and at home. It’s another way we make sure your pup is not only having fun, but thriving. Our boarding services give dogs a chance to enjoy all-day play and restful nights under the care of our trusted team. And if your dog needs a little pampering, our spa services include baths, brush-outs, nail trims, and more, so they’ll look and feel their best. As pet parents ourselves, we know safety and transparency matter. That’s why every Dogtopia location is equipped with webcams, allowing you to check in on your pup throughout the day. Our facilities are sanitized with pet-safe cleaning products, and our staff is trained in canine behavior, first aid, and safety protocols. At Dogtopia, we’re passionate about giving dogs the love, exercise, and socialization they need to thrive — while giving pet parents peace of mind. Discover why so many families trust us as their dog’s second home.
