State Roadmaps

Prenatal-to-3 State Policy Roadmap

The Prenatal-to-3 State Policy Roadmap is an annual guide grounded in the science of the developing child and rigorous policy evidence that provides states actionable solutions to improve outcomes starting in the earliest years.

The Roadmap, paired with detailed data for each state, goes beyond showing states how their young children and families are currently doing relative to other states. It provides a baseline for where states are, guidelines for next steps, and measures each state’s progress toward improving the health and wellbeing of infants, toddlers, and their families through a comprehensive analysis of policy adoption and implementation. Each year, we analyze the progress that each state makes in adopting and implementing the most effective, evidence-driven prenatal-to-3 policies and strategies.

Below are the Roadmap companion resources listed by state, linking to each state’s custom Roadmap to download and data interactive dashboard.
