The Zero to Three Foundation (officially: ZERO TO THREE: National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families) is a national nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC. The organization works to provide parents, professionals and policymakers with the resources to nurture early childhood development.[5] [6] [7]

Neuroscientists have documented that the first months of a newborn’s life show a tremendous amount of brain cell growth.[8] However, parents and caregivers can still be confused and misinformed on newborn development.[9] Zero to Three conducts research and advocates for infant and toddler well-being to support families during this critical time. The organization has found in studies that large percentages of parents underestimate how early their children are influenced by their interactions.[10] [11]

In 2020, Zero to Three released its second annual report, State of Babies Yearbook: 2020, that examined how racial disparities can impact a child’s life, even before birth.[12] [13] [14] [15]
