About
Mission
Our driving motivation is the need for greater impacts on reducing disparities in child health and development than either direct services for children and families or community-focused initiatives have been able to achieve by themselves. We are eager to partner with similarly motivated change agents at the intersection of developmental biology, science-guided practice, and place-based activism to catalyze fresh thinking about how to strengthen the early foundations of educational achievement, social and economic mobility, and lifelong physical and mental well-being. We celebrate the positive effects of current best practices and embrace constructive dissatisfaction with the status quo. We believe that setting a higher bar is the sign of a dynamic and healthy field.
