Sparking early childhood health and education.
90% of brain growth occurs before the age of 5 and before elementary schooling begins.
From the earliest days of a mother’s pregnancy up through pre-kindergarten, children need access to early childhood programming so they can become caring, thinking, confident, active individuals.
This means providing resources to expectant mothers and steering families toward early childhood education programs that nurture their child’s social, physical, emotional, and intellectual development.
Together, we can make a difference.
