Positive Early Learning Experiences
Infants and toddlers learn through play, active exploration of their environment, and interactions with significant adults in their lives.
• The quality of babies’ early learning experiences at home and in other care settings has a lasting impact on their preparedness for lifelong learning.
• Language and literacy skills
• Fundamental to many areas of learning and later school success• Begin developing at birth and are fostered by parents and caregivers
sharing books, telling stories, singing songs, and talking with their babies.
• 38.2% of parents report reading to their baby every day• 56.4% of parents report singing songs or telling stories every day

Positive Early Learning Experiences
Developmental Screening & Early Intervention
Early identification of developmental delays and intervention are essential during the critical period of rapid growth in babies’ first 3 years.
• Babies who are screened are more likely to have delays identified, be referred for early intervention, and be determined eligible for early intervention services.
• 30% of infants and toddlers (age 9 months - 35 months) received a developmental screening in the past year.
• 3.1% of infants/toddlers received early intervention services.
![Page 23: INFANT AND TODDLER DATA TO SUPPORT READY LEARNERS · • 1 in 5 babies (21.9%) has experienced one adverse event • Supportive policies and services • Temporary Assistance to Needy](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050101/5f4084ec8a6de14e95009565/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Positive Early Learning Experiences
Access to high-quality, affordable early care and learning opportunities has substantial impact on babies’ development.
Early Head Start (EHS)
• A comprehensive child development and family support program for infants, toddlers, and pregnant women in families with incomes below Federal Poverty Level.
• Outcomes for children participating in Early Head Start include enhanced cognitive development, attention, and engagement.
• Their parents had decreased stress and family conflict, and were more responsive, warm, and supportive.
• Only 7% of infants and toddlers eligible for Early Head Start are reached by the program.

• Despite the high cost of infant care, few families receive financial assistance for it.• 12 states allow child care subsidies for families with incomes above
200 percent of FPL• Only 4.2% of infants/toddlers in low- or moderate-income families
receive subsidies

West Virginia:
The State of Babies Yearbook is a great tool that helped us. Its release came just as WV lawmakers were considering expansion of Medicaid Coverage for Pregnant Moms up to 300% of FPL.
Thanks to the hard work of advocates like R.P. and others - lawmakers passed the bill!

CAPITOL FORUM
December 10-13 in Phoenix, Ariz.
The NCSL Capitol Forum is the meeting where NCSL Standing Committees meet to discuss policy and set the agenda for the states. The NCSL Standing Committees are composed of legislators and legislative staff who are appointed by the leadership of the legislatures. The committees are the main organizational mechanism for serving NCSL members. There are nine committees that deal with both state and state-federal issues. The jurisdictions of the standing committees are similar to those of committees in the state legislatures.
