id=10872 NASBE State Improvement Initiatives, Vol. 7, No. 5. National Association of State Boards of Education Connecticut's School Readiness and Child Day Care Program Connecticut's School Readiness and Child Day Care Program was created in 1997 to provide high-quality preschool services in accredited or approved programs for three- and four-year-old children in urban and high-poverty districts. Some funds are also available for areas with individual high-need schools that are not located in a priority school district. Grants are funded through a partnership between the Department of Social Services and the State Department of Education and administered by the Education Department. In 2001, over $40 million was appropriated for the state grant program, which funded high-quality preschool placements for more than 6,000 children. Another $5.1 million supports expansion and quality enhancement of the federal Head Start program, especially in the area of literacy. Of the $40 million, most of the funds are used to place children in full-day, year-round programs, but funds may also be used to fund half-day and wraparound programs. At least 60 percent of the children enrolled in the program in any district must be at or below 75 percent of Connecticut's median family income. Besides providing funding for early childhood education, the School Readiness program has provisions to ensure that programs are of high quality, that the number of children served by the program grows to meet the needs of Connecticut's 3- and 4-year-olds, that government agencies work together to ensure the well-being of children, that local communities are involved in defining their needs and designing solutions, and that there are ample safe, secure facilities to house early childhood education programs. These areas are detailed below.

(Drug Abuse Resistance Education) is a cooperative effort of the CONNECTICUT STATE POLICE and LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS to prevent drug abuse in children and youth. Traditional drug abuse programs dwell on harmful effects of drugs. The program emphasis of Project D.A.R.E. is to help students recognize and resist the many subtle pressures that influence them to experiment with alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. In addition, program strategies are planned to focus on feelings relating to self-esteem, interpersonal and communication skills, decision making, and positive alternatives to drug abuse behavior. The focus of the program is aimed at the fifth and sixth grades. The reason for this focus is that this is the age group where peer pressure is going to become a large part of the youth's development.
