Resources for Families
You Don't Have to Navigate It Alone.
Finding childcare, accessing basic necessities, understanding available programs,
and connecting with community services can feel overwhelming.
Branford Early Start is here to help families find their way.
Our Early Childhood Resources hub connects families with information, services, and community partners
to support children and families from pregnancy through the early childhood years.

Childcare Navigation
Looking for childcare can be challenging.
We will help families understand their options, find programs that may meet their needs,
and connect with resources to help make childcare more accessible.
We help you find childcare. Understand your options. Get connected.
Diapers & Clothing Exchange
Every family deserves access to the essentials children need to grow, learn, and thrive.
We will connect families with local resources for:
Diapers and wipes
Children's clothing
Baby and children's supplies
Food and basic necessities
Other community-based assistance
Translation & Language Access
Families should be able to access information and services in a language they understand.
We are working to make family resources available with Spanish and Nepali language support,
helping more families access information, understand their options, and connect with the services they need.
We're Building a village for Families
This isn't just a directory of phone numbers and websites.
Our goal is to create a family-friendly starting point where you can find information,
understand your options, and connect with someone who can help.
Whether you are looking for childcare, diapers, clothing, food, translation support, or another community resource,
we want to help you find your next step.
Coming Soon
Our online Community Resources Guide is currently being developed.
Soon, families will be able to find helpful information and connections in one convenient place.

You are not alone. We're here to help you find your way.
