The Infant and Toddler Specialist Network (ITSN) is a program offered through the county-based Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&Rs) agencies. The goals of the ITSN are to improve the quality of infant and toddler care across the state and to increase the availability of quality early care and education programs for families with infants and toddlers. Through this program, Infant Toddler Specialists work with child care professionals to:

  • Strengthen the quality of infant and toddler care to offer a setting that best promotes the healthy development of New Jersey’s youngest children.
  • Support age-appropriate activities and approaches to learning and child development.
  • Offer suggestions and strategies to meet common challenges.
  • Expand the availability of infant and toddler care in every community.
