CT-PEN works to improve the social, emotional, and educational lives of Connecticut's children and families.
CT-PEN is a group of professionals dedicated to helping Connecticut's children and families by promoting excellence in parenting education.
CT-PEN brings together and supports parenting educators of diverse backgrounds, educations, and affiliations. It is working to promote a coordinated system of parenting education that recognizes the central role of parents in child development and school readiness. This system will be results-based, accountable, and accessible to all caregivers. It has two essential purposes: (1) to strengthen and educate parents (or other caregivers) so that they can rear caring, competent, and healthy children and (2) to prevent the neglect and maltreatment of children.
