Caleb Cantres-Maldonado was all of 6 weeks old and just stirring from a nap when his mother propped him up and pointed him in the direction of a picture book.
“Look what I have! See the book?” said Milenka St. Clair, a family support worker who visits Caleb’s Manassas home once a week. “It’s a drum! What else do you see?”
Caleb’s head flopped to one side. St. Clair tapped the page loudly, then moved it left and right and up and down. The baby’s eyes, still cloudy and a little crossed, followed her movements.

Impact on Early Care and Education of the Appropriations Committee's Proposed Budget for FY 14-15
Link:
CT Voices Issue Brief
Date:
May, 2013
Abstract:
This brief compares the early care and education budget proposals of the General Assembly's Appropriations Committee and the Governor. The Appropriations Committee budget essentially maintains the same funding levels as the Governor’s proposed budget for the vast majority of programs, including Care4Kids, State-Funded Centers, School Readiness Competitive School Districts, Head Start, and quality enhancement for these programs. It reduces funding slightly for School Readiness Programs in Priority School Districts in FY 15 and Birth-to-Three in FY 14 from the Governor’s proposed amounts for the same periods.
