In this episode of The Everything ECE Podcast, Carla sits down with Rebecca Parlakian, child development and parenting specialist at ZERO TO THREE, to shine a spotlight on the incredible world of infants and toddlers.

Together they unpack:

  • The key developmental milestones across social-emotional, cognitive, communication, and physical domains

  • Why everyday moments (like laundry, sunlight, or stirring with a spoon) are powerful learning opportunities

  • How infant programs can be more intentional in designing environments that truly support growth

  • The role of educators and parents as “detectives” decoding cries, cues, and needs

  • The advocacy work ZERO TO THREE is leading—bringing families and even policymakers into the conversation about babies

If you’ve ever wondered how to support our youngest learners- or needed a reminder of the magic in the everyday- this episode is for you.
