The Blue Ribbon Commission served multiple purposes: (1) to inventory and review reports and recommendations issued over the past 10 years relating to high quality, affordable child care; (2) to determine the elements inherent in all quality child care programs; and (3) to make recommendations to the General Assembly and the Governor on the most effective use of existing public funding and additional opportunities. (See Statute, page 105 for full description.) The Blue Ribbon Commission will collaborate and work to support goals and strategies within the Vermont Early Childhood Framework and the accompanying Vermont’s Early Childhood Action Plan.
