Dear Friends and Colleagues,

In June 2018, the Council of the District of Columbia committed to helping DC’s youngest children thrive by unanimously passing the Birth-to-Three for All DC bill (B-3 DC).
At the dawn of the single largest funding increase in the history of the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG), here are five ways states can spend the funds to further the dual purposes of child care as both a work support and a child development support.
Recently passed state budgets include some wins for infants, toddlers, and their families. We applaud policymakers and advocates across the country and encourage everyone to continue to Think Babies™.
Due to budget uncertainties at the state and federal level, states are exploring opportunities to maximize investments through a variety of sources in order to maintain and expand evidence-based home visiting programs.
Recently, the District of Columbia established new regulations that require all lead teachers in licensed child care programs to have an Associate’s degree by 2020.
