While educators, advocates, and policymakers pay considerable
attention to preschool- and kindergarten-age children, the
issues related to infants and toddlers are different and critical
to creating a foundation for healthy development and a lifetime
of learning. The infant and toddler years, therefore, need
specific messaging, unique from those for older children. To
help with this work, Advocacy & Communication Solutions,
LLC (ACS) with ZERO TO THREE developed this messaging
guide to help stakeholders talk about the importance of the
earliest years of a child’s life and to make a stronger case for
investment in infants and toddlers.
