WHY IT MATTERS

Because Every Child Deserves the Best Start to Life

Humans are born to learn — and infants start learning from day one! In fact, 90% of all brain development happens before age 5.

The more enriching their early childhood, the better foundation kids have for future success in all areas of life.

And when kids are set up for success, their communities are, too! We invest in early learning experiences because they lead to transformation across generations.
