Cornerstone Children’s Center provides excellent early care and education for children six weeks to eight years of age — and real support for the busy parents who trust us with them.

Two educators. One shared mission.
Lisbeth Olsen Condo and Christian Mirowski — friends for more than 30 years — lead Cornerstone together, bringing decades of classroom experience and a deep commitment to children, families and staff.
“It truly takes a village.”
A few notes from Cornerstone families.
“Thank you for nurturing our girl for the past 5 years, providing a warm and loving environment to grow in, and teaching her fundamental skills (both life and education). From potty training to the pandemic, you never wavered in your commitment to our kiddos!”— A Cornerstone family
“You have taught and encouraged our children as if they were your own, and we are forever grateful. Thank you for being kind, patient, compassionate, and FUN. For being there when we couldn’t be.”— A Cornerstone family
“Thank you so much for 5 wonderful years of compassionate caregiving and educating for our daughter. You’ve given her an amazing foundation and start to life. It truly takes a village to raise a child and we are so happy that you were our village!”— A Cornerstone parent
Every day is an adventure.
Nestled in a quiet Trumbull neighborhood.
Look for our white, single-story Cape Cod–style building just west of the Merritt Parkway between exits 29 & 30 — with ample parking, enormous fenced playgrounds, a canopied play space for snowy New England days, and solar panels on the roof.
