Early Childhood Development

(Birth through Age Five)

Improving Children’s Lives

We want to improve the lives of children through better child development practices. Along with alignment with one of our result areas for early childhood development, we look for:

• Initiatives offered by organizations with strong expertise in working with parents and children.
• Organizations that understand how their services complement, or compete with, the services available from similar organizations in their areas.
• Organizations that know their participants well and understand their needs.
