State-Based Resources

States are incubators for innovative ideas and often set the trends about which policy strategies build momentum and which do not. Learn what your state is doing to support very young children and how infants and toddlers are faring by visiting your state’s page below.

Each page includes articles highlighting state policies and initiatives that support infants, toddlers, and their families. They also include the State of Babies Yearbook: 2019 State Profile, where you can learn how your state measures up on indicators related to Good Health, Strong Families, and Positive Early Learning Experiences.
