The Manchester School Readiness Council was established in 1997 in response to a statewide initiative that increased the number of preschool and child care spaces available to Connecticut residents. The primary goal of the Council is to support the positive development, education, and well-being of young children -- ensuring that every child in Manchester starts school "ready to learn."

Mission

To advocate for the advancement of young children’s learning by promoting policies, programs, and partnerships among Manchester families, schools and the community.

Membership

Council members represent a wide variety of organizations in town, but they have one purpose in common: the best interests of children. Our members bring a wealth of expertise to the Council. To view a list of our members click: 2009-2010 Council Members
