Welcome to the Carrot Patch!

​Directors Suzanne Miller and Nicole Miller Stevens are a mother-daughter team who opened the Carrot Patch Early Learning Center in 2005 to bring the best possible early childhood experience to area families. We are delighted to offer families a top-notch, yet unpretentious early learning center where children thrive in a safe, fun, nurturing and creative environment year-round. Children, parents, and staff find a sense of community, and our passion for education and love for children informs every detail and every decision we make.

Shoreline Update:

The Carrot Patch - Shoreline at 2 Maple Avenue, Clinton is conveniently located at Rt. 1 near the Madison town line. We are currently enrolling infants, toddlers, and preschoolers for the fall. Before and After School Care with bus transportation provided by the town will also be available for preschool through grade 3 students attending the Joel School in Clinton. We are excited to welcome a whole new community of little learners!
