On Monday, May 18, 2026, we hosted a virtual kickoff to share how the First 1,000 Days initiative is transitioning to The Movement as a statewide effort to support children and families from the very beginning.
The prenatal period and a child’s first three years—the first 1,000 days of life—lay the foundation for lifelong health, learning, and success. That’s why we’re building new momentum around supporting this critical stage of development.
We shared what’s ahead, how this work connects to our broader early learning strategy, and ways to get involved.
