The primary focus of this activity is to improve the lives of young children and families by working directly with schools, caregivers, health agencies, and community groups. While some of our work will potentially involve direct volunteer service to children, we will also engage and collaborate with parents, caregivers, education officials, and health professionals to serve and support young children and families.

Fundamentally, we believe that all children have the capacity and motivation to learn, and that they deserve equal access to opportunities that improve learning, including early care and health services.

Related projects include Early Childhood Education and Family Health. The
approximate time and resources that will be allocated to this activity is 15%. It will be initiated in January 2009.
