Texas Prenatal-to-Three Collaborative
Let’s make Texas the best place to be born.
During the critical period of brain development from prenatal care to age three, parents deserve the support of effective state policies. That’s why we’re working with the Texas Legislature and other state leaders to increase the number of infants and toddlers who are healthy, supported, and arrive at school ready to learn.
Welcome to the Texas Prenatal-to-Three Collaborative website!
Our Mission
The early years of childhood have a profound impact on a child’s health and wellbeing. From the prenatal stage to age three, this critical time of brain development sets the foundation for a child’s lifelong learning and success as well as the future of our state. Recognizing that families want and need effective state policies, the Texas Prenatal-to-Three Collaborative works with state leaders to advance smart policies that enhance efforts across the state and ensure that Texas infants, toddlers, and their families are off to the strongest start.
Our Vision
Our vision is for all Texas children to begin life with a strong foundation, have equitable access to health and early learning supports in their homes and their communities, and that early childhood systems are aligned, coordinated, and well-funded to ensure young children and their families are healthy and thriving.
Working Together to Strengthen Supports for Children, Families, and Providers throughout Texas.
With funding from the Pritzker Children’s Initiative, Episcopal Health Foundation, and support from the National Collaborative for Infants and Toddlers, TexProtects, Texans Care for Children, and CHILDREN AT RISK have partnered to lead a strategic state legislative agenda that aligns with and enhances efforts across the state to assure Texas infants, toddlers, and their families get off to the strongest start.
