Exciting News: The First CT Office of Early Childhood Parent Cabinet Newsletter!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the inaugural CT Office of Early Childhood Parent Cabinet Newsletter! These newsletters will keep you informed about the work of the Parent Cabinet and the partnership with OEC and with local partners. These quarterly newsletters will highlight accomplishments aimed to uplift the importance of parent and family voice in CT’s early childhood system.  

The newsletters are for the public, including community and parent groups, parent leaders, government agencies, and officials and state and national organizations. This first issue is an overview of the majority of 2024 as there was a lot to share with many changes as we transitioned to a new group of Parent Cabinet members. These will be issued quarterly going forward. 

You can find the newsletters below as well as on the Parent Cabinet website: 

In this first edition, you’ll find: 

  • Overview of the OEC Parent Cabinet 
  • Snapshot of the impact of the Inaugural Parent Cabinet 
  • Quotes from some of the Parent Cabinet Alum 
  • Inaugural Parent Cabinet Appreciation Event 
  • Introduction to the first part of cohort B, our newest Parent Cabinet Members 
  • 2024 overview of accomplishments and events 
  • Overview of members and alum *(members as of Fall 2024)

We are excited to continue building the Parent Cabinet and its connection with families across Connecticut as we work together to improve early childhood programs, polices, and services for all young families. Stay tuned for future newsletters and thank you for being part of this important journey! 

Warm regards,
CT Office of Early Childhood Parent Cabinet Team
