The outside link I chose to explore on the ZERO TO THREE website was the "Policy Guide ". The Early Experiences Matter Policy Guide includes an issue brief on building early childhood systems, as well as other policy briefs, practical tools, and in-depth policy. The policy guide offers policy options and strategies to use in an effort to affect policy change for infants, toddlers, and their families. To access the Early Experience Matter Policy Guide, go to http://main.zerotothree.org/site/DocServer/Policy_Guide.pdf?docID=8401.

This week, "The Baby Monitor", ZERO TO THREE's Policy and Advocacy News shared a newsletter with me that contributed to my understanding of equity and excellence in early care and education. The Launch of National Movement for America's Children is a group of child advocacy organizations that have launched a nationwide pledge, listening tour, and crowd-sourcing tool designed to develop a national strategy for the healthy growth and development of EVERY child. The National Movement for America's Children (the Movement) is founded that ALL of our children deserve nurturing environments that support healthy brain development so they are prepared to learn in school, grow into productive, contributing adults, and help their community, and our country, be prosperous and competitive in the global economy. With the crowd-sourcing tools, all families will have access and availability to the best quality services.
