The Department of Social Services (DSS) has submitted its CCDF Plan as required by the federal Administration for Children and Families (ACF). ACF will review the Plan in August, identify follow-up questions, and look to approve Connecticut's Plan prior to October 1, 2011 when the federal fiscal year 2012 begins. The CCDF Plan will serve as a good foundation as Connecticut begins its preparation of the federal Race to the Top - Early Learning Challenge grant opportunity.

Source: Alliance for Early Childhood Finance
"The recession economy is taking its toll on ECE programs and policies throughout the United States. As thought leaders and consultants, we have become deeply concerned about how policy makers, and the ECE community as a whole, are responding to budget cuts. Without a very clearly defined and focused agenda we fear that the gains we have made over the past 20 years could be lost. To address this concern, we asked a small group of individuals to help us think more clearly about how to proceed."
