Developing and Strengthening Infant/Toddler Specialist Networks
This revised publication focuses on the development and strengthening of infant/toddler specialist networks. These specialists work directly with infant/toddler providers to increase their skills, knowledge, and practice-based competencies, which helps the workforce offer high-quality early care and learning experiences for infants and toddlers across early childhood settings. This publication:

• explores how Infant/Toddler Specialist Networks (ITSN) can support the I/T workforce and increase access to high-quality care;
• provides an integrated, stage-based approach to implementing ITSNs; and
• describes concepts to support, strengthen, and enhance existing ITSNs.
