Bright futures start with Hartford's quality Early Learning care
We help all families get the education and care they need. The price you pay for our programs depends on the household size and income of your family. For many people, care doesn’t cost much or is even free. Some rules about how much you can earn and still get this help apply. Our center programs get money from the state to help families.
