"Hartford Children's Theatre has come to
rely on advertising in the Hartford
Kid's Directory. Their readership of
parents and grandparents is a perfect
match with our target demographic,
allowing us to effectively reach a most
desirable audience for our programs and
productions. Their colorful format and
appealing design make it easy for our
ads to pop out and grab attention."
- Dulcie Giadone, Executive Director
Hartford Children's Theatre
The Kids’
Directory is a comprehensive Full-Color
Monthly Resource Guide
published
by local parents who understand what
busy families need. Parents
everywhere
tell us they rely on the Kids’ Directory
to find out about quality
products
and services for the entire family…
quickly! It also gives you, the
advertiser,
a great way to target parents in your
area with buying power!
Although
the Kids' Directory is a monthly
publication, we print two months at
a
time in order to keep our color printing
costs affordable for you.

Your Ad Gets Noticed!
Our readers pick us up looking for
you, our advertisers.

RESOURCE GUIDE, not an article-based
publication, our readers hang on to the
Kids' Directory and refer back to it

again. We are all about you so, unlike
other parenting publications, the Kids'
Directory
doesn't get tossed out with the
recyclables once the articles are read.
