Advancing Equity in Early Childhood

The purpose of this website is to support early childhood professionals in personal and professional reflection and action to advance equity for children and families across Connecticut.

Equity, as defined by the NAEYC, is "the state that would be achieved if individuals fared the same way in society regardless of race, gender, class, language, disability, or any other social or cultural characteristic. In practice, equity means all children and families receive necessary supports in a timely fashion so they can develop their full intellectual, social, and physical potential."
