The first three years of rapid brain development have the most powerful impact on every person’s life. On October 13, be one of the first to hear the latest research on the most effective policy actions state leaders can take to help babies and families get off to a healthy start and thrive. Join thousands of national and state leaders, scholars, and practitioners virtually for the preeminent summit on the prenatal-to 3 period.

The third annual Summit will be the best yet, featuring:

  • The first look at the new 2022 Prenatal-to-3 State Policy Roadmap — an unparalleled progress report on the best state investments (see 2021 Roadmap);
  • Nationally-recognized speakers like Elliot Haspel, author of Crawling Behind: America’s Child Care Crisis and How to Fix It; and
  • Policymakers from states that have made laudable progress getting parents back into the workforce, improving parent and child health, and creating nurturing environments for children.

All are welcome. Registration is free.
