NAEYC Early Childhood Workforce Systems Initiative Database of State Policies

The database of state policies is organized by the blueprint’s six essential policy areas of professional standards, career pathways, articulation, advisory structure, data and financing.

The database also indicates whether state policies apply or address the blueprint’s four over-arching policy principles of integration; quality assurance; diversity, inclusion and access; and compensation parity. Use the drop downs to the left to retrieve the corresponding state policy examples or to access these policies by state.
