Equip parents and families with the knowledge, skills and practices they need give their children the best start in life.  

Few parents feel prepared for parenthood. While the first three years are a critical period for child development, it’s also when parents are feeling the most uncertain and are in need of support--whether it’s help with sleep, nutrition, behavior, health or learning milestones.

Support those who care for young children.

It’s crucial that we build a better ecosystem of reliable, quality care during the earliest years, regardless of whether children are in the care of parents, relatives, neighbors, or caregivers.

Leverage people and places (neighborhoods and communities) to create safe and engaging learning experiences for children & families.

As a child grows into the world, the safety and accessibility of their physical environment plays a role in healthy brain development and growth. Research shows that safe, responsive and nurturing environments are a crucial part of supporting the learning and development of children ages 0-3.

Provide families with safe space(s) to gather, receive support and combat isolation by creating community groups, social interaction through new parent groups, support for postpartum depression, etc.

Partner with other community organizations to provide vetted experts to parents, work with seniors to build multi-generational volunteer opportunities, and leverage collaboration to build a true web of support amongst families.

Create space for children to come as they are, to explore freely, and develop through access to play. It’s crucial that all children, regardless of ability, race, socioeconomic level, etc have this opportunity.

Raise funds to create new spaces to bring community hubs to more neighborhoods.
