Rationale for a Coordinated System: What problems will it solve? What functions will it serve? Current Challenges Inefficient Multiple programs create redundancy and multiple administrative structures Not Family-Friendly Challenging for families to make informed choices and access programs they need Uneven quality Different standards and requirements create uneven quality of services Difficulties connecting to related services Challenging for programs to access the comprehensive services children and families need and for these services to connect with the various programs

Proposed Guiding Values and Principles From the EC Systems Working Group Optimally, a comprehensive early childhood system will: 1.Reach all children and families, and as early as possible, with needed services and supports 2.Ease access for families and transitions for children 3.Value parents as decision makers and leaders 4.Ensure stability and continuity of services along a continuum from prenatal into school entry and beyond 5.Genuinely include and effectively accommodate children with special needs 6.Reflect and respect the strengths, needs, values, languages, cultures and communities of children and families 7.Catalyze and maximize investment and foster innovation

Quality Enhancement: Building CT’s QRIS Early Learning & Development Standards Comprehensive Assessment System Program Monitoring System Health Promotion Practices EC Educator Qualifications Family Engagement Strategies
