Established by the New York Zero to Three Network in 2007 the Fenichel award honors the memory of Emily Fenichel, LCSW, a longtime editor at the national ZERO TO THREE’s journal and one of the first coordinators of the ZERO TO THREE National Training Institute (NTI). Emily exemplified commitment and dedication to the zero to three field and in honor of her contributions, this award recognizes early childhood professionals who work tirelessly, often without recognition on behalf of families with babies and young children.
