Child Care

Connecticut Voices for Children has released its annual report “The 2025 State of Early Childhood: A System in Transition,” which spotlights the need for investments in early childhood education.

Early Start CT was launched by Gov. Ned Lamont’s (D) administration this summer. It aims to subsidize pre-K for families who might otherwise be unable to send their children.

The new universal child care endowment has been viewed as a major policy win for the Lamont administration and the legislators who championed it. However, some advocates are concerned that lawmakers will rest on their laurels next session, at a time when the sector needs increased support.

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont is expected to sign several bills to expand early childhood education.

More than a dozen 'Morning Without Childcare' rallies were held across Connecticut on Wednesday to demand increased support for the early education sector.

The Connecticut Senate has advanced a controversial bill that would make the state regulate town-run summer camps and child care.

Connecticut’s Children Committee wants lawmakers to make child care more accessible and affordable.

United Way of Greater New Haven has been awarded $973,000 to support Early Head Start, but Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-3) said the funds are still unavailable due to confusion over last week’s federal grant process.

Friends Center for Children, which cares for hundreds of kids at multiple locations across New Haven, will have space for 80 infants and toddlers at the old theater once it’s finished.

A New Haven-based child care center is continuing its mission to ease the financial strain on early childhood educators by building rent-free homes for staff.
