24,000 fewer CT children enrolled in child care since COVID


0

Child care providers across the state are still operating well below capacity more than two years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic — a threat to the sector’s overall viability and a vexing source of uncertainty for parents trying to return to work and employers looking for help.

A new report from the Connecticut Association for Human Services estimates that public and private child care centers in Connecticut are serving 24,000 fewer children than they were before the pandemic. Across the wider group of home-based and center-based programs CAHS surveyed for the report, which serve a range of children from infant to school-aged, enrollment was at about 75% of capacity as of April of this year.
