  1. There are free spots in the public schools, if you're lucky enough to get a seat. You apply through the public school lottery. You might get in off a wait list.
  2. You can get a "school readiness" subsidy at one of the private PreKs if you earn less than a certain amount (like $130K for a family or 4 or something like that) or so but there are limited spots. That would usually bring the cost down from like $1500-2000 per month to something more like $500 (or less depending on your income). Ask around to see which ones have subsidized spots. Again there's probably a wait list and/or the private programs reserve the spots for families who are going into a second year at the same school.

We’re moving to the area shortly, and we’re looking at daycares as well. We found the Montessori on Edgewood, in Dwight, and met (virtually) with the director, who seems excellent. They offer full time care, and their tuition is indexed to household income, as per the CT fee schedule here.

On the other hand, a friend of a friend was a visiting professor last semester, and had very good things to say about the Bright Horizons at Yale West Campus. They said that though it looked horribly corporate at first, the teachers were quite lovely. Hope this helps!

Long story short, no. It’s cheaper/easier for one of you to stay home or get a job at night like I did. Good news is if you send your kids to public school they have free aftercare.

I’m a pharmacy tech in the area, we get 10 calls a day asking if we have it lol. I can assure you that pharmacies are trying hard to get Adderall in stock. It’s very hard
