1)2014 Birth numbers and percents as reported by DPH

                Other years: http://www.ct.gov/dph/cwp/view.asp?a=3132&q=394598&dphNav_GID=1601

 

2) Foreign born mothers: Includes all births outside of 50 US States (1,262 Birth to Mothers born in Puerto Rico are included in this number). 

3) Total number of infants and toddlers:  An estimate based on average of 2010 US Census, 2015 American Community Survey 5 year average, and 2014 births multiplied by 3

4) Infants and toddlers at or below 200% Federal Poverty Level – HUSKY enrollment is used as a proxy for this number.

4) Statewide and community percents for HUSKY, WIC, Care4Kids and B-3 are calculations of total reported number divided by total number of infants and toddlers

5) Licensed infant toddler capacity: family child care capacity estimate is a calculation based on the number of licensed family homes multiplied by 3.  Total capacity is this estimate plus the licensed capacity for centers.  Total capacity is not necessarily the number of spaces offered
