The FY 06 early care and education budget in Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS) and State Department of Education (SDE) represents an improvement over FY05, increasing 4%. However, total funding proposed for early care initiatives in FY 06 in DSS and SDE is still 11% less than actual funding in FY 02 (even less if adjusting for inflation).

We envision a Connecticut that creates opportunity for everyone, not just the lucky and privileged few. Together, we can ensure a prosperous future for all of our children.
