EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

12 Melrose Avenue Branford, CT 06405 203-481 - 5066

The Family Resource Center is a 12-month, fee-based preschool program, located at Indian Neck School. We follow the Early Learning Developmental Standards to help foster social and emotional skills in our students through a play-based environment. Parent involvement is strongly encouraged through our Parent Advisory Committee. There are a limited amount of sliding scale spaces, which are funded through a School Readiness Grant. No transportation is provided. The Early Years Center is an integrated preschool program that is offered to all Branford children between the ages of 3-5 who have been identified with exceptionalities as well as those who qualify as peer mentors. Every month a developmental screening is offered to all Branford preschool-age children. Families can have their child screened and placed at any point throughout the school year. A child may be referred for a screening secondary to address parental concerns or to be considered as a peer mentor. Transportation is provided within the town and there is no cost for student participation.

One of our pre-school-based sites is housed at the Indian Neck School offering a fee-based, wrap-around program through School-Aged Child Care (SACC).
