FAQ
What is Early Start CT?
Early Start CT is Connecticut’s state-funded early care and education program providing high-quality, accessible early learning for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children.
Can parents join the LGP Community Table?
Yes! The Early Start CT Community Table LGP is a key component of Connecticut's early childhood system, designed to support the community's voice in shaping early childhood services. We welcome community members and organizations invested in supporting early childhood programming in the Valley to join.
Are these programs available to families who don't speak English?
Absolutely. We believe that language should never be a barrier to a child's success. The ECC provides resources, forms, and navigation assistance in multiple languages and can connect families with bilingual providers or translation services. Our goal is to ensure that every family in our community feels heard, respected, and supported.
How can local businesses or community members support the ECC?
The "Collaborative" in our name means we thrive on community partnership. Businesses can get involved by sponsoring local "Play & Learn" groups, donating materials for literacy kits, or offering space for community meetings. If you are an individual looking to give back, we welcome volunteers for our community events and advocacy efforts. Your investment in early childhood today ensures a stronger, more capable local workforce for tomorrow.
