Strong Start Early Care & Education

At Strong Start, we believe that the early years of a child's life are crucial in laying the foundation for their future success. That's why we have dedicated ourselves to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment that fosters growth, exploration, and learning. Our Reggio Emilia-inspired program is designed to cater to the unique needs of each child, encouraging them to explore, discover, and learn at their own pace.

They have extensive knowledge and understanding of child development, which enables them to create a curriculum that is both engaging and challenging. Our leaders are committed to maintaining a safe, secure, and supportive environment where children can thrive and reach their full potential.

We take pride in our state-of-the-art facilities, which are designed to promote learning and exploration. Our Shelton and Trumbull locations offer spacious classrooms, an indoor gym, and an outdoor playground that provide ample opportunities for physical activity and play. We believe that a well-designed environment plays a significant role in a child's learning journey, which is why we continuously update and improve our facilities to meet the evolving needs of our students.

The safety and security of our children are our top priority. We have implemented numerous measures to ensure that our facilities are secure and that our children are well-supervised at all times. Our staff is trained in first aid and CPR, and we maintain a strict pick-up and drop-off policy to ensure that only authorized individuals have access to our children.

We also host parent-teacher conferences and offer opportunities for parents to participate in school activities, ensuring that you are always informed and involved in your child's education.

Kindergarten Readiness

Our curriculum is designed to prepare your child for kindergarten and beyond. We focus on developing essential skills in literacy, numeracy, science, and social studies, while also promoting critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. Our experienced teachers work closely with each child to identify their strengths and areas for improvement, providing individualized support and guidance every step of the way.

We also produce a monthly newsletter that highlights important news and updates from our school.
