Our Why

We believe every child has the right to feel seen, understood, and supported from the very beginning. A baby’s brain and nervous system-including their stress response-begin developing in the womb, and their earliest experiences shape how they will perceive and navigate the world. Research shows that early childhood experiences not only influence lifelong health outcomes but also impact educational potential and the ability to build strong relationships. Yet, too often, the essential social and emotional supports that families, teachers, and communities need are missing. To create a more compassionate, understanding and peaceful world, we must start from the beginning - by equipping the adults in a child’s life with the knowledge and tools to foster safety, security, and resilience from day one.
