ZERO TO THREE and the National Collaborative for Infants and Toddlers created message briefs and a centralized hub of messaging resources to help advocates communicate with policymakers about infant and toddler policy priorities.

Use these research-tested messages and other toolkits, briefs, and resources to educate and inspire action among key stakeholders in your community to ensure that all babies and toddlers and their families have a healthy foundation in life. The message briefs and corresponding resources address Early Head Start; high-quality, affordable child care; maternal and child health; paid family and medical leave; and economic security.
