From our partners at ZERO TO THREE:
Right now,
infant-toddler professionals from across the country are gathering together in
Washington DC for ZERO TO THREE's annual National Training Institute. NTI
participants are raising their voices in support of better policies for our
youngest children, and YOU CAN TOO! You can join NTI participants by
signing onto the state baby facts letter to Members of Congress here which ZERO TO
THREE will deliver to Capitol Hill on your behalf. A summary of the letter is
below and a link to ZTT's factsheet can be found here.
"The
letter urges Senators and Representatives to bear in mind the importance of
young children as they address the serious issues facing our country. It gives
some key facts about infants and toddlers in their states, describes the rapid
early brain development that makes them so vulnerable to adversity, and
emphasizes the importance of federal programs in supporting the healthy
development of the many at-risk babies profiled in each State Baby Facts. It
closes by urging them to Be a Big Voice for Little Kids™ in using their
position to help young children succeed in school and in life."
We
can make a big impact when we all join together!
