State of Vermont’s Children: 2025 Year in Review

This week the Building Bright Futures and Vermont’s Early Childhood Data & Policy Center released The State of Vermont’s Children: 2025 Year in Review. This report provides the latest data on the most important factors affecting young children and families in our state. It gives a snapshot of the state of Vermont’s children for each of Vermont’s 12 regions and the state as a whole.

The briefing featured a panel discussion focused on what housing instability looks like on the ground, how it is affecting young children and their caregivers, and what changes are needed at the system level. Thank you to our panelists:

  • Lisa Atwater, Family Support Team Lead at the Winston Prouty Center for Child and Family Development
  • Nick Conner, Director of Student Engagement and Data at Montpelier Roxbury Public Schools
  • Britnie Morgan, parent of an almost 2-year-old
  • James Miller, parent of a 2-½-year-old
