Birth to Three Matters

Birth to Three Matters is a framework that guides the development of infants and young children from birth to age three. It emphasizes the importance of early experiences in shaping a child's overall growth—emotionally, socially, physically, and cognitively. The framework encourages caring adults to create nurturing, stimulating environments that support children’s natural curiosity and learning. By focusing on responsive and attentive caregiving, Birth to Three Matters aims to build strong foundations for lifelong development, ensuring children reach their full potential during these critical early years.
