What: ACNJ will be gathering more than 150 infants and toddlers and their families from across the state for Strolling Thunder™ NJ, a rally for babies, as part of the national Think Babies™ campaign. This event calls attention to the importance of the early years and the need to make our young children a state priority.

Where: In front of the State House Annex, 125 W State St, Trenton, NJ, held rain or shine.*
*Address in case of rain: Trenton War Memorial: 1 W Lafayette St, Trenton, NJ

When: Monday, May 21, 11a.m. – 1p.m.

Why: There are no do-overs in early childhood. From birth to age 3, the brain grows faster than any other point in time, laying the foundation for the rest of a child's life. Strolling Thunder NJ aims to bring attention to what our youngest children need to thrive: quality child care, healthy starts for babies and support for their new parents.
