Early Care and Education
Our promise to families
At Child and Family Agency we believe in providing a safe, nurturing environment where children are free to learn, grow, and develop while preparing for success in school and life. Through the New London Day Nursery and the Groton / Mystic Early Childhood Development Center CFA provides affordable, high-quality, year-round care to children ages 6 weeks – 5 years old.
The cfa difference
Support for the whole family.
Our programs and schedules are created with you and your family in mind. Each center provides full-day, year-round care and education to children as young as six weeks. Each center is licensed by the Office of Early Childhood and accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
A proven approach to education.
CFA utilizes the following research-informed curriculum and developmental standards in each classroom: RULER (Recognizing, Understanding, Labeling, Expressing, Regulating) from the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, CT Early Learning Development Standards (CT ELDS), Brigance Early Childhood Screening, Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3), and the CT Dots Assessment Tool.
A holistic approach to early childcare.
Each child enrolled in one of our early childcare and education centers has access to an Agency run School-Based Health Center, Outpatient Mental Health Clinics, and Family Resource Centers.
