Zero to Three: National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families

Description

From the website: ZERO TO THREE is a national, nonprofit organization located in Washington, DC, dedicated solely to advancing the healthy development of babies and young children. Founded in 1977 by top developmental experts, ZERO TO THREE disseminates key developmental information, trains providers, promotes model approaches and standards of practice and works to increase public awareness about the significance of the first three years of life. ZERO TO THREE believes that by combining the talents of professionals from the fields of medicine, mental health, research science and child development, together these disciplines can focus on the diverse needs of the “whole baby” - in the context of the family and community. This unique way of thinking helped create the new multidisciplinary field of “infant and family professionals.” At ZERO TO THREE, our urgent mission is to help children best navigate their first three years of life, to give them a healthy start and a solid developmental foundation.
