Infant & Toddler Care and Education

Infants and toddlers thrive in the nurturing environment provided by CRT Early Care centers

CRT offers high quality, licensed full-day childcare for infants and toddlers from six weeks of age until they are ready to enter preschool. Caring staff provide safe, stimulating and nurturing care in brightly-lit, modern centers. Formula, baby food, healthy meals and snacks are provided. Families have access to all CRT services. Staff will help parents set and meet their goals. Parents can volunteer in classrooms, take workshops, participate in family activities and serve on the committees that help to run our program.

CRT has two options for infants, toddlers and their families: Early Head Start is an 8-hour per day program that starts with pregnant moms and continues until the child is turning three. As with all of Head Start, this program is free for income-qualified families. Infant & Toddler Care is a 10-hour per day program that charges low fees on a sliding scale, based on income.

Infant & Toddler Care and Education is offered in Hartford and East Hartford. All centers are open year-round, offering either 8 or 10 hours per day of care. Call to find out which option will suit your family’s needs. Staff speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese.
