Focusing on Infants and Toddlers in State Advisory Councils on Early Childhood Education and Care

The ZERO TO THREE Policy Center and the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices invite you for a webinar/web-based conference call on the inclusion of a focus on infants and toddlers in State Advisory Councils on Early Childhood Education and Care. The webinar will profile Councils in New Mexico and Connecticut and will highlight recommendations from a new ZERO TO THREE publication along with related resources from the National Governors Association.

As part of the 2007 reauthorization of Head Start, State Advisory Councils on Early Childhood Education and Care must be established for children from birth to school entry. While the legislation included a number of requirements, each state has the latitude to make decisions about the actual implementation of its Council. Unless there is an intentional focus on the very youngest children, their needs may not rise to the top. As states establish Councils and develop statewide plans and priorities, issues related to infants and toddlers must receive adequate attention.
