Learn how the Building for Babies Self-Assessment Suite helps states identify and act on key policies to support infants, toddlers, and their families.
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.
