We are experts in translating the science of early childhood development into real impact. 👶🧠 #LEARNwithZTT #ThinkBabies

Believing in babies means more than admiring their wonder.

Thank you for believing in babies.

Happy Holidays from all of us at ZERO TO THREE.

Babies’ mental health is tied to their caregivers’. Healing starts early, with support for both. ZERO TO THREE helps families build strong relationships, because connection shapes the brain. It’s not just kind. It’s smart policy. – Lisa Mennet, PhD

The best gift for babies this year is stability. Families need your voice this holiday season. Send your wish list to Congress and speak up for what babies really need to thrive: https://bit.ly/48NIVTr

If a baby needs food and your first concern is fraud, you’re telling on yourself.

After weeks of chaos and uncertainty, the government’s reopening means critical supports like health care, nutrition & early learning can resume. Congress: finish the job by keeping health care affordable & fully funding early learning, mental health and family support programs.

Thank you @governor.ny.gov for being a steadfast advocate for babies and their families. We love seeing policymakers prioritizing maternal mental health and investing in proven programs like @healthysteps.bsky.social

Nearly half of early educator families rely on public support like food assistance (SNAP) to get by.

“There’s both the effect on young children and the effect on their parents and families and the broader community.”

👻 Congress, don’t ghost babies!

The shutdown + recent cuts to food & health care put families and babies at risk.

📣 Speak up for stability, care, and opportunity for all infants & toddlers: https://bit.ly/43psOsf

What’s scarier than a haunted house? Cuts & uncertainty in programs families rely on, like Early Head Start, healthcare & nutrition supports, leave babies caught in the middle. Speak up and tell Congress to protect programs that support infants & toddlers: https://bit.ly/43psOsf

Infant mental health support is real, evidence-based, and chronically underfunded. And that’s on adult priorities.

Baby Mylo said it best. Congress must stop playing politics with children’s lives. Families need solutions, not more chaos & cuts. They must pass a spending bill that invests in children, maintains health coverage and puts protections in place to ensure funding reaches families.

This month isn’t just about celebration. It’s about recognition.

Hispanic leaders in early childhood are breaking barriers: shaping policy, shifting culture and ensuring that every child sees themselves reflected in the people who care for and teach them: https://bit.ly/4nm1RNA
September 15, 2025 at 3:07 PM
Early childhood educators earn just $13/hour. Parents spend up to 35% of their income on care. Centers are closing, and families face impossible choices.

Without bold public investment, the burden will keep falling on those who can least afford it.

Babies can’t speak up for themselves, but we can. That’s why today, we delivered a #MessageInABabyBottle directly to Congress, calling on them to fully fund the programs babies need, like #EarlyHeadStart #ChildCare #Medicaid #SNAP & #WIC.
