Zero to Three focuses on making sure that all babies and toddlers have a positive start to life and want caregivers and the community to have the information they need to support every child to reach their full potential (Zero to Three, 2020). During the early childhood years, nurturing relationships build the foundation for development. Zero to Three supports all adults who care for young children by proving resources to make babies and toddlers have a positive future (Zero to Three, 2020).
In regards to this week's topic on changing demographics and diversity, the organization has information on their site about cultural sensitivity. Zero to three encourages the society to create a diverse community because an inclusive environment fosters everyone to share their valuable opinion, their perspective and encourages others to be engaged, innovative, and reach their highest potential (Zero to Three, 2020). Zero to Three values other cultures and languages and focuses on relating to others by building relationships (Zero to Three, 2020).

Jamie,
ReplyDeleteI love how you said that nurturing relationships build the foundation for development. I completely agree with this statement. How do you feel about the case of nature vs. nurture? I feel as though it is combination of both nature and nurture that help a child in the early stages of their lives.

Hi Jamie,
ReplyDeleteYou selected an amazing organization to learn more about. Every moment of a child life is precious from the time they are conceived. Those first few years of life lay a ground work that will most certainly have a lasting impact on that child life and this organization and its resources are a positive influence to children and their families. I visited the site and read or its core value statement and I could not have agreed more with how perfectly stated it was. "We believe that HOW we do our work is as important as WHAT we do" (Zero to Three, 2020). That statement held so much weight as it should be applied to our every interaction with children, families and each other. This was a great post Jamie.
