Ready by 5 and Fine by 9
 Ready By 5 & Fine By 9: CT's Early Childhood Investment Framework
Prepared by the Connecticut Early Childhood Education Cabinet and Co-published with the Connecticut State Department of Education October 2006
About 42,000 children are born in Connecticut each year. It is the goal of the Connecticut Early Childhood Education Cabinet that all of them make timely developmental progress each year from birth to 5, that they stand at the kindergarten door fully ready for the grand adventure of schooling, and that they achieve demonstrable early academic success in vital basic skills during their elementary school years. They cannot do this alone. Families, communities, schools, the state and the early childhood work force all have important roles to play in children's development and early learning. "Ready by 5 & Fine by 9" sets the course for these essential partnerships and, thus, for a whole new generation of confident, competent and joyful children.
