Abstract	While the importance of the period from birth to age three as the most promising and possibly consequential stage of human development has gained attention over the last quarter century, public investments in children's early learning opportunities have remained inadequate. The nation, as well as the state of New Jersey, invests the fewest public dollars to support the educational needs of infants and toddlers, and what is invested is a small fraction of what is spent on children's education after age three. The United States ranks 36th of 38 among developed countries for public investment in the education of children under age three. While over the past two decades New Jersey has dedicated substantial state funding for preschool and K-12 education, one group has been left out of these vital educational investments: infants and toddlers. This report details the investment gaps to support the education of infants and toddlers and provides three policy/investment recommendations. [This brief is based on an analysis conducted by Ajay Chaudry and Taryn Morrissey. Additional support for this brief was provided by the Think Babies campaign.] (ERIC).
