I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I absolutely loved this school for my child. My daughter loved her teachers and spoke about them excitedly after school. The teachers were welcoming and knowledgeable. The building isn't much to look at from the outside, but the center is wonderful!

There are moments in our lives that live on in our memories forever. These are the moments when something special happens that changes the way we look at our world and how we respond to it” said Tessa Antoine, Youth Director. Here at Hartford Neighborhood Centers, Inc., we are a catalyst for change-changing lives, changing the way families think about their health, personal, social and changing public policy in ways that are essential to us all. These “moments” that the youth experience at HNC’s ‘Youth Development’ Program will live on in their lives forever.

The future of a healthy community is dependent on the positive development of its children and youth. This development is not possible without the interaction between the youth and the ‘Youth Development’ program. HNC strives to provide services to children that are at-risk, economically disadvantaged with emphasize on self-esteem, physical fitness, hygiene, leadership and education. In addition, we support the parents of those children through our Parent’s Club that focuses on supporting children.
