Connecticut is investing in early childhood education through a historic Early Child Education Endowment and a statewide goal to expand affordable, high-quality child care. Since 2020, Social Impact Partners (SIP) has supported this work through partnership with the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood, contributions to the Blue Ribbon Panel on Child Care, Child Care for CT, and direct support to ECE organizations that are essential to Connecticut’s children, families, workforce, and communities.
