Reports

OEC is dedicated to transparency — we create and share regular reports about our services, expenditures, and outcomes.

Reports to the Connecticut Legislature

Each year, the Connecticut Department of Social Services submits the Status of Child Care in Connecticut annual report to the Legislature. These reports include data on child care spending, use, quality, and more. 

Annual Digest of Administrative Reports to the Governor

Each year, the executive branch departments — including the Office of Early Childhood (OEC) — submit an annual report of agency activities. These reports are published in the annual Digest of Administrative Reports to the Governor, which serve as a reference guide for legislators, agency heads, and the general public. You can see other annual digests for Connecticut agencies here.

Program-specific reports

Regulatory Action Reports

We release data about disciplinary actions quarterly, and you can download the data sets below. OEC may take disciplinary action against a child care program as a result of:

• Regulatory violations cited by our Licensing division during routine inspections
• The Licensing division’s investigation into a complaint

You can also learn about the status of a specific provider by using the Licensing Lookup page.

To see a record of regulatory actions from before July 1, 2014, check out the Department of Public Health’s archives.

Qualified Staff Member (QSM) reports

OEC tracks the number of Qualified Staff Members (QSMs) per child care program and how programs are progressing toward meeting our goals.

Program administrators can see more details about the data we use to determine a program’s status by the downloading the current QSM Compliance report.
