Everyday moments of connection—like talking, playing, and reading aloud—build a child’s brain and lay the foundation for emotional health and lifelong well-being. At First3Years, we nurture the early relational and mental health of Texas' youngest children by working alongside parents, caregivers, and professionals to strengthen relationships and early childhood systems.
Since 1980, we've trained thousands across Texas in infant mental health and development, helping to ensure every child spends their first three years in a nurturing, supportive environment. Our programs raise awareness, educate professionals, and provide relationship-centered interventions—impacting over 154,000 children each year.
Support First3Years and help build a future where every child thrives from the very beginning.
At First3Years, we are committed to building an organization grounded in racial equity and guided by the Early Relational Health principle of meeting families where they are. We recognize that every family’s journey is shaped by intersecting identities, lived experiences, and systemic barriers. With compassion and humility, we engage in open dialogue that invites reflection, learning, and authentic connection.
We strive to co-create spaces of shared power and inclusive decision-making, centering the voices of those most impacted. We continuously examine and evolve our internal policies and practices to dismantle structures that perpetuate racial inequity. Through intentional learning, relationship-building, and accountability, we aim to foster trust and transformation—within our organization and in partnership with communities—to ensure all children and families have the opportunity to thrive.
