Any Time is 3Ts Time Communities

To bring the power of the 3Ts to more communities, with the generous support of PNC Grow Up Great, the TMW Center created Any Time is 3Ts Time: a suite of online, print, and in-person resources for families and community organizations, available in English and Spanish. These resources foster knowledge and build actionable skills that parents and caregivers can use to promote foundational brain development.

Since 2020, 300 organizations in over 40 communities across the country have accessed these resources. Any Time is 3Ts Time is guided by the principle that community organizations are the experts in reaching parents; 3Ts resources can be tailored to a variety of online and in-person settings. All organizations that reach families with children ages 0-3 can:

  • Register on the 3Ts Partner Portal at partners.the3Ts.org to access campaign guidance, staff training, and resources for sharing the 3Ts with parents.
  • Invite parents to sign up at the3Ts.org, where they’ll learn 3Ts strategies through engaging video-based lessons and activities.
  • Collaborate with the TMW Center to customize the campaign for the setting and goals of each community and organization.
Website The3Ts.org

We have designed an interactive website for parents and caregivers aimed at supporting their efforts to foster early brain development in their children.
