Our MissionAll Danbury Children ages birth through eight are healthy and ready for school and lifelong learning.
What We DoWorking with parents, educators, healthcare providers, family support agencies, businesses, the faith community, and others, we have created a Strategic Plan to ensure the healthy growth and development of Danbury's young children. We are working together to implement that Strategic Plan to make sure all Danbury children are prepared for kindergarten and the early grades. For more information, click on Strategies above.

By the time a child is 5 years old, more than 80% of his or her brain has already been developed. Early learning is the key to unlocking the promise in all of our children. Children who have positive experiences at an early age will become the backbone of Danbury's future workforce and the drivers of its economy. In fact, for every $1 invested in early childhood programs, Danbury will reap $9 in benefits.
