ABOUT US The State of Connecticut is undergoing a strategic optimization of our Information Technology (IT) resources, to deliver enterprise-wide services, in more efficient and innovative ways. We are setting trends, not following them. As part of these efforts, the Department of Administrative Services Bureau of Enterprise Systems and Technology (DAS BEST) is joining forces with the majority of Executive Branch, Agency IT organizations, to form a new, centralized team under the Bureau of Information Technology Solutions (BITS). The OEC is a unique state agency in CT that helps families with young children achieve better outcomes. As a relatively new state agency, the OEC is mandated in its enabling to be data-driven, human-centered, and results-focused. We touch the lives of over 200,000 young children, parents, and caregivers annually through our integrated focus on early care, education programs, safety supports, home visiting programs, and other critical early childhood services. By scale of funding, OEC is one of the largest departments of CT State Government, deploying and leveraging approximately half of a billion dollars each year in service of vulnerable families and communities. CT is a leader in the coordination of early childhood programs throughout the country, whereas early childhood programming in most states is fragmented across multiple programs that families must navigate. Only a handful of states have created agencies dedicated to integrating support for families with young children, and only CT has a clear data-driven mandate. New parenthood and early childhood are extremely important moments in a person's life and experiences during this time can have significant and long-lasting impacts.
