CHEFA provided $200,000 in seed money to the Early Childhood Research and Policy Council for its first year of operations. 

The Authority continues to build on the advances made working in partnership with the State of Connecticut Department of Social Services and State Department of Education to create improvments to the childcare sector in Connecticut.  CHEFA's involvement has increased the number of childcare slots, improved the site design of facilities, and raised the early education and care of our youngest residents to a higher level.

We look forward to continuing our support of the Council and the Governor's Early Childhood Education Cabinet.
