About us
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

Have you ever wondered why Ms. Rachel speaks in a higher-pitched, sing-song voice? That's parentese. From their very first days, babies are hard at work decoding sounds and building the foundations for language. Brain imaging studies have revealed that when infants listen to parentese, there is increased activity in the prefrontal cortex, which is linked to attention and decision-making, further enhancing their ability to focus on and learn language.

“The first trick for dealing with implicit bias is not to be so afraid of it that you don’t look at it, that you realize the fact that we all have biases and that those biases are basically just cognitive shortcuts that we have that make decision-making easier,” Walter Gilliam, ZERO TO THREE Board President.

Traditional treatment models for infants and toddlers and their parents often look at children from a single perspective, but dyadic care looks at each baby as part of a larger family system — and works to give everyone in that system the skills for success. At the most basic level, dyadic care means caring for both babies and their caregivers as a whole. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3ZyXKoP
