Child Development Division


We work with partners to provide Vermonters with affordable access to high-quality child care and child development services.

Our Vision: Vermont’s children will receive the resources that they need to succeed; Vermont’s families will be able to afford and access high-quality child development services; Vermont’s child development workforce will receive the resources and support that they need to provide high-quality programming to the state’s children.

Our Mission: CDD strives to improve the well-being of Vermont’s children.  We do this by working in partnership with families, early childhood and afterschool program staff, community members, and state and federal entities to increase statewide, client-centered access to developmentally-appropriate and equitable child development services.
