A New Kind of Coalition for New Times
Child Care for Connecticut’s Future is a diverse statewide coalition of organizations, providers, parents, and advocates focused on long-term, systemic transformation rather than the limited fixes of the past. We are working together for a Connecticut in which everyone can find high-quality child care that they can afford in the setting of their choice, so that all our children will be ready for kindergarten.
We are working toward a Connecticut in which:
​
-
Child care providers are well compensated and trained creating a stable, skilled workforce.
-
Equity is the central value for child care, both for families and for providers.
-
We have crafted the most family friendly state in the union.
We will seek to realize our vision by:
​
-
Building a movement at the state and local levels
-
Raising public awareness about the importance of early childhood development
-
Elevating the voices of our families and child care providers
-
Developing cross-sector partnerships
-
Persuading foundations and businesses to invest in our movement
-
Building public will for policy change
-
Transforming state child care policy and the state early childhood system
