Connecticut makes major investment in early childhood education

Governor Ned Lamont today announced that as a result of the fiscal year 2027 state budget bill that he signed into law last week, his administration is making an additional investment of approximately $320 million into Connecticut’s recently established Early Childhood Education Endowment. Established by Governor Lamont in 2025, the endowment functions as a permanent funding source dedicated to strengthening Connecticut’s early childhood education system. This year’s investment, combined with last year’s initial investment of $300 million, positions Connecticut as a national leader in developing sustainable solutions that support children, families, and educators. Early childhood education has been one of Governor Lamont’s top priorities, and the endowment is being hailed by advocates as groundbreaking in the effort toward providing all children with access to high-quality early childhood education.
