Resources to help you find and pay for child care programs in the tri-state

Choosing child care is an important decision for any parent.
The decision takes time, patience and an understanding of what to
look for when selecting a facility.
When picking a program, parents should choose licensed providers,
according to Connecticut’s Office of Early Childhood, because of:
1. Safety. States inspect licensed child care providers to make
sure they’re safe and healthy places to learn.
2. High-quality care. Licensed providers and staff have to meet
training requirements, including First Aid. There are also limits on the number
of children in a licensed child care at one time.
3. Support. If you have a problem with a licensed child care
program, you can always call, get help or file a complaint with your state.
Balancing location, cost, quality and just feeling good about the
child care provider can make this important decision challenging. Below are
links to child care resources pages for the tri-state.
