Making An Impact
Today, we continue to advance our longstanding mission to improve the lives of young children. We make a difference by educating adults who work with children, providing direct services to families, and advocating for policies that support positive, lifelong learning and development.
Our Place in History
Leading with knowledge since 1966
Throughout the many social, political, and cultural changes of the last 50 years, our focus on the importance of a child’s early years has been unwavering. Our pioneering spirit continues to distinguish our work as leaders in the conversation about how to positively impact the lives of young children.
