Prioritize Children and Families; Defend the Office of Early Childhood

HARTFORD, CT -- In a letter to our new governor, Merrill Gay, Executive Director of the CT Early Childhood Alliance, urges support for Connecticut's children and families and the Office of Early Childhood:

"Faced with a projected two-year budget deficit of over $4.6 billion, you and your administration will  soon be confronted with many difficult choices. Amidst these challenging decisions, and with an eye toward the future of Connecticut, we offer you one easy answer. To ensure that young children and their families can thrive while contributing to the shared prosperity of our state, preserve the independence, momentum, and power of the Office of Early Childhood."
