ZERO TO THREE’s Policy Center is vocal on Capitol Hill and in states across the nation, providing early childhood policy and advocacy resources about the importance of the first three years of life.
Through research, advocacy, and collaboration with policymakers, we work to improve child care, infant and early childhood mental health, family economic security, child welfare, and early learning systems so every baby has the opportunity to thrive.
We are a non-partisan, research-based center working at all levels of government and across multiple issue areas that affect babies and their families.
Our work includes:
ZERO TO THREE has decades of experience fighting for early childhood policy changes that improve the lives of babies and their families. No other organization has our track record of influencing decision makers to consider how their choices affect our babies.
Our policy briefs, reports, fact sheets, toolkits, and legislative analyses provide evidence-based insights on child care policy, infant and early childhood mental health, family economic security, early learning, child welfare, and other issues affecting young children and their families.
[Strolling Thunder] made me realize just how important it was not to tune out, because decisions that impact our lives are being made every day, whether or not we choose to engage.
Bring attention to what babies and their families need to thrive.
