Unlock the Power of Building for Babies: A State Policy Self-Assessment Suite

May 14, 2025, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET

Special Member Exclusive follow-on discussion, 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM ET

Join us for an introduction to Building for Babies: A State Policy Self-Assessment Suite, a tool designed to help states strengthen prenatal-to-3 systems through more than 100 infant and toddler policy recommendations. 

We’ll share insights from a state that piloted the self-assessment tool with decision-makers, early childhood service providers, and parents. This collaborative approach helped participants identify key policy areas for babies and set shared priorities for action. 

You’ll also explore different ways to use the self-assessment suite—whether in full or in parts—while leveraging The Baby Book, a compilation of national resources and state examples for each policy area. This suite provides a strong starting point for critical conversations that drive system change for babies, toddlers, and their families. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, collaborate and take action! 

Learner objectives: As a result of participating in this event, learners will be able to… 

• Describe the purpose and components of the Building for Babies: State Policy Self-Assessment Suite
• Identify steps to apply a section of the Self-Assessment tool to their own state or community.
• Recall key policy recommendations and innovative state examples from the Building for Babies suite and consider their relevance for their own state or community.
