About us
We're hiring! ZERO TO THREE is a national nonprofit organization that informs, trains and supports professionals, policymakers and parents in their efforts to improve the lives of infants and toddlers. Neuroscientists have documented that our earliest days, weeks and months of life are a period of unparalleled growth when trillions of brain cell connections are made. Research and clinical experience also demonstrate that health and development are directly influenced by the quality of care and experiences a child has with his parents and other adults. That is why at ZERO TO THREE our mission is to ensure all babies and toddlers have a strong start in life. We know that as babies, the way we are held, talked to and cared for teaches us about who we are and how we are valued. This profoundly shapes who we will become. Early experiences set a course for a lifelong process of discovery about ourselves and the world around us. Simply put, early experiences matter. We encourage you to learn more about very young children, early development and the work of ZERO TO THREE by exploring our site. Explore opportunities at zerotothree.org/careers

American Sign Language, often overlooked, holds immense potential and profound value. However, most, if not all, medical professionals continue to push it aside at times, encouraging families not to learn or develop sign language because, in their minds, it will prevent a child from learning spoken language. American Sign Language is still not promoted or recommended to families. Hear more from Dr. Marla Hatrak and her work to advocate for deaf children: https://bit.ly/45bCWEN

More than 20% of babies will have at least one traumatic experience. Whether in a classroom or home setting, caregivers who are aware of the effects of trauma are better equipped to help young children process those negative experiences. The more we support children who have had traumatic experiences, the better their chance of thriving. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4bmhBd0

Elmo and his friends have long shared conversations about their big feelings, playing an important role in helping young children find words when navigating difficult experiences. But Sesame Workshop and childhood psychologists agree that they are just one step in ensuring mental well-being — and having at least one stable caregiver at home to have those conversations is the next. As Meghan Schmelzer, our senior manager of infant and early childhood mental health policy told STAT, "It's all in the context of relationships." Read more: https://bit.ly/3Lilm95
