Kidslink Before & After School Program

YWCA Hartford Region’s Kidslink program provides quality before and after school care for students in grades K-5 across the Greater Hartford community. Kidslink supports the social, physical, and academic growth of each child, fostering an environment of teamwork and respect.

Limited capacity – Spots are not guaranteed.

Due to increased demand and capacity at Duffy Elementary School being met, students who are registering in the after-school program on April 6th, 2026, will have the opportunity to participate in p.m. care services at the neighboring school Webster Hill Elementary School. Students will be safely transported by bus from Duffy Elementary to Webster Hill at the end of the school day.

If your location is full, or you do not see your site listed on the application, please contact Stacey Sherwood: staceys@ywcahartford.org

We accept Care4Kids to help with the cost of childcare. 2026 Kidslink Registration Flyer
