Give to NH ChILD
Contribute to New Haven’s Future
The research on early brain development is clear: children who have access to developmentally meaningful; racially, culturally and personally responsive; high-quality early care and education early in life, receive the building blocks for a successful future. NH ChILD has a bold, and attainable, plan to ensure that all children in New Haven have a strong start in life. And with your help we can make it a reality — impacting the future for thousands of children and families, and thus boosting entire communities and the city itself. And the reach extends beyond New Haven. New Haven’s demographics match many urban centers across the nation. As such, NH ChILD is created to be a model, replicable in cities throughout the country.
Your donation supports NH ChILD’s work in both of its pathways — access and quality — including initiatives such as:
- Building much-needed early childhood education infrastructure to create 2,500 new spaces for children that will also increase the ECE workforce with 900 new educators
- Creating a comprehensive Early Childhood Resource Network supporting programs and empowering all New Haven families with access to early childhood resources, opportunities and community
- Developing Funding Models that reduce the gap between the true cost of high-quality ECE and available subsidies, allowing programs to function at high-quality and be affordable to families
- Engaging all New Haven families with information, opportunities and resources for Ideal Learning and its incredible impact on a child’s development
- Offering all New Haven ECE educators opportunity to increase their skills and experience through our Professional Learning Communities, workshops and presentations
- Streamlining the degree-granting process to help all head teachers in state-funded programs obtain their bachelor’s degree, which will be a state requirement by 2029 for all state-funded programs
