If your child in B23 now turns 3 between today and the start of your town's school year, talk with your service coordinator about whether you qualify for EIS Over 3.

We would even hope to see no masks on children in Birth to Three since speech recognition is so important!

[CT Office of Early Childhood @CT_OEC]

While it’s important for us to wear a face mask in public right now, remember that babies and toddlers under two years of age should NOT wear face masks, as well as anyone else who has trouble breathing. For more information from the CDC, visit https://t.co/vyKOAMbTOE
