Early Start CT
Formerly known as School Readiness Program
Formerly known as School Readiness Program
As of July 1, 2025, Connecticut’s School Readiness program has been replaced by Early Start CT, a new statewide initiative to improve access to high-quality early childhood programs. Our community is now supported by a Local Governance Partner (LGP), which serves as a local hub for planning and supporting early childhood education and care. The LGP brings together families, educators, and community members to better coordinate services, ensure quality, and address local needs. This shift strengthens how we support young children and families across the state.
