Zero to Three National Baby Facts

National Baby Facts

There are more than 12 million infants and toddlers in the United States, many spending their most vulnerable years in circumstances that place them at risk developmentally. Many fall behind their peers even before they enter a prekindergarten classroom.

National Baby Facts, ZERO TO THREE’s recent release, tells the story of how these youngest children in the United States are faring. National Baby Facts gives you the facts on the invaluable supports and services—whether it’s adequate health care, ample food, housing security, or positive early learning opportunities—that play a crucial role in nurturing a young child’s development and helping all children realize their potential. This resource is available on the ZERO TO THREE website at www.zerotothree.org/nationalbabyfacts.
