Connecticut Providers, Parents, and Caregivers joined us for a day of community learning about universal screening and support for families with young children. It’s been two years since the CT Office of Early Childhood joined with state and local partners to make Sparkler (and the mobile Ages & Stages Questionnaires®) available to all Connecticut families with children 0-5 and programs serving those children. At this in-person gathering, we:

• Learned through play and collaborated with peers; 
• Workshopped ideas to learn from each other about strategies/tactics that work to support family and community engagement and healthy early childhood development;
• Discussed progress — across the state and in individual communities; and
• Inspired action with and on behalf of CT families.
