Last year, more than 600 people across Vermont took the Vermont Early Childhood Family Needs Assessment. Next week, Building Bright Futures’Families & Communities Committee is offering a virtual briefing where you can learn more about the recently released report on the results. We invite you to join us on Wednesday, May 17, from noon to 1 p.m. 

Register for the May 17 briefing

The report shows how Vermont’s early childhood system is working well for families and how the state could do better. It also highlights four considerations for policy. At the briefing, we will host a panel of four Vermont state agency and private partners who will discuss these policy considerations in greater depth.

The survey was led by the Families and Communities Committee and supported by the Building Bright Futures State Advisory Council Network and the Vermont Integration Prenatal to 3 (VIP-3) grant.
