Wethersfield Early Childhood Collaborative

Tomorrow! August 25, 2026 at 6:30p

Are you a Wethersfield Parent? We want to hear from you!

If you could change one thing about raising young children in Wethersfield, what would it be? More opportunities to connect? Easier access to resources? More support for families? More places to play and learn together?

As WECC plans for the future, we’re asking families to help shape what comes next. This is a chance to share what’s working, what’s missing, and what you hope Wethersfield can offer families in the years ahead.

Join us for a relaxed virtual conversation with other parents on Tuesday, August 25, from 6:30–7:30 p.m. No preparation needed, just bring your ideas, experiences, and hopes.

Come share what you’d like to see for Wethersfield’s youngest children and their families. Your voice can help shape what comes next.

Neural Nugget: Between 0–3 years old, a child’s brain forms over 1 million neural connections per second. This time in life is the most pivotal, and also the most vulnerable for brain development. Early experiences shape cognitive development in early childhood.

We’ve made the science of baby brain development accessible for all. The Baby Brain Map is your interactive guide to early brain science. Start exploring now and help lay the foundation for healthy growth: https://bit.ly/4w3j4jg
