What we do

Programs that meet children and caregivers where they are

Practical, community-based models that bring early learning, caregiving support, and nutrition closer to where children live and grow.

Our programs

Three interconnected areas of work

Early learning

Early learning

We create and strengthen quality, play-based early learning opportunities — in homes, community spaces, and public places — so children aged 0–8 can explore, play, and build the foundations for lifelong learning.

  • Community-based early learning models
  • Play-based learning in public spaces
  • School-readiness support for ages 5–8
Caregiving practices

Caregiving practices

Caregivers are the single most important influence in a young child's life. We work alongside parents and caregivers to strengthen responsive, nurturing caregiving practices in everyday routines.

  • Caregiver coaching and peer groups
  • Responsive care and early stimulation
  • Father and family engagement
Access to nutrition

Access to nutrition

Good nutrition in the earliest years fuels brain development and growth. We improve access to nutrition for children and caregivers in underserved communities during the most formative years of life.

  • Nutrition support in the first 1,000 days
  • Community nutrition education
  • Linkages to local food and health systems
