About the NTI
ZERO TO THREE is a national nonprofit organization that informs, trains, and supports professionals, policymakers, and parents
in their efforts to improve the lives of infants and toddlers.
Our mission is to promote the health and development of infants and toddlers. We achieve this by translating research and
knowledge—specifically information about the kinds of early experiences that help children thrive—into a range of practical tools
and resources for use by the adults who influence the lives of young children.
Every year, ZERO TO THREE provides an unparalleled opportunity for multidisciplinary professionals to enhance their
knowledge about early childhood development through our National Training Institute (NTI). The NTI offers opportunities to
network with colleagues and leaders in our field. Interactive and thought-provoking sessions have been carefully planned to enrich
your knowledge and inform your practice.
