Join us at the 2025 Prenatal-to-3 Research to Policy Summit

Our annual Prenatal-to-3 Research to Policy Summit returns on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, from 1:00-2:30 PM CT. We’ll be joined by state leaders, advocates, others who share interest in the Center’s innovations.
 

We’ll take 90 minutes to catch up on the latest findings—exploring which states made the most progress in expanding economic opportunities for families with young children.

 

At this event, you will:

  • Hear an overview of the NEW 2025 State Policy Roadmap 
  • Hear expert insights on state efforts to protect and implement evidence-based policies in 2025  
  • Learn more about the impact of recent federal policy changes on states  

  • Learn how state and federal policy choices interact and explore opportunities to advance policy in 2026

Join the conversation about state policy action to support early childhood development and family wellbeing.
