Early Brain and Child Development
Since we know that 90% of a child’s brain is developed by age 5, we are dedicated to promoting early literacy and school readiness, ensuring that all children receive optimal developmental screenings, creating standards for health in all preschool and childcare centers, and reducing adverse childhood experiences and trauma.
Quality of Care and Child Safety

Quality of Care and Child Safety
For the reason all children deserve to be safe, healthy and protected, we are compelled to influence laws and policies to help prevent child deaths, implement strategies for pediatric disaster and emergency preparedness, and ensure all newborns receive screenings to diagnose and treat rare genetic disorders.
