PREPARING YOUR CHILD FOR SCHOOL & BEYOND

Why choose
A Strong Start?

We celebrate each child’s unique perspective, nurturing their creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. Just as we honor the individuality of every child, we deeply value our teachers—supporting their growth, voice, and vital role in shaping young minds. ( Lorem ipsum here, but placed real content to get idea of flow )

Choosing Strong Start Early Care & Education for both of our children gave us total peace of mind. From infancy on, they’ve loved going to school—learning, growing, and forming meaningful friendships. This is true early education, not babysitting, in a warm, nurturing, and safe environment families trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

How old are the children you provide care for?

We welcome children ages six weeks to 5 years in four age-appropriate programs: infants, toddlers, twos, and pre-kindergarten. Children are grouped with their kindergarten cohort, ensuring that every child in a given class is simultaneously eligible for kindergarten in Connecticut. This approach promotes optimal development and continuity, allowing children to grow and learn alongside their same-aged peers.

How will you help my child in the transition to Kindergarten?

At Strong Start, we know that transitioning to kindergarten is a big step. Our Pre-K program is thoughtfully designed to make that transition seamless by exceeding early childhood standards and aligning with the Connecticut Early Learning and Development Standards. Guided by our Reggio Emilia–inspired approach, children engage in hands-on learning that builds confidence, independence, and school readiness. We also incorporate the Learning Without Tears program to support early writing skills in a fun, developmentally appropriate way.

What are your safety and security standards?

At Strong Start, your child’s safety is our top priority. We go above and beyond Connecticut’s state licensing requirements to ensure a secure, nurturing environment where children can thrive.

Our comprehensive safety measures include:

24/7 Video Surveillance throughout our school
Controlled Building Access to prevent unauthorized entry
Thorough Background Checks for all staff members
Panic Buttons for immediate emergency response
Emergency Evacuation & Lockdown Procedures practiced regularly

In addition to advanced security technology, all visitors must sign in and out, and our team receives ongoing safety training to stay prepared for any situation. We’re committed to maintaining a safe, stable, and welcoming space for every child and family.

What are your hours of operation?

We are open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. We are closed on recognized holidays; please reference our closing calendar for a full list of closure dates.

What is the square footage devoted to each child?

At Strong Start, we believe children need room to move, explore, and grow. That’s why we go beyond state requirements to create spacious, thoughtfully designed learning environments. While Connecticut regulations require just 35 square feet per child, research shows 45–55 square feet is ideal. At Strong Start, we provide 45–55 square feet of classroom space per child—with a total facility size of 100 gross square feet per child to ensure comfort and quality across all areas. Our classrooms are open, engaging, and designed to foster hands-on discovery, creativity, and curiosity. Every inch is intentionally planned to support meaningful learning and joyful play.

What is your teacher-to-child ratio?

The child to teacher ratios within our facility are consistently maintained in accordance with the regulations set forth by the state of Connecticut. This ensures that each child receives adequate attention and supervision, promoting a safe and conducive learning environment.
