Activities

All the projects developed by the Foundation aim to contribute to hitting the 4.2 target of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) using two complementary strategies: the strengthening of public policies and the activation of society in support of the needs of Early Childhood.

Based upon this macro-structure, the Foundation has established five coordinated and integrated action strategies to achieve these objectives:

1) The production of knowledge, aimed at the development of analyses, data and information that support, categorize and collaborate with the other strategies;

2) The mobilization of leaders, seeking to raise the awareness of those responsible for making decisions (or those who influence these decision makers) related to Early Childhood public policies in the municipal, state and federal spheres;

3) Expert support for public policies, whether it is in the stages of development and implementation or in the evaluation of these policies, this strategy is designed to collaborate with and encourage the creation, implementation and monitoring of policies that affect those who truly need them: the children and their families;

4) Raising the awareness of society, a strategy designed to call the attention of society to the importance of this stage of life as a means of influencing the day-to-day parental practices that occur between small children and their families;

5) By strengthening the ecosystem, the Foundation aims to expand the network of organizations and partners which operate to strengthen the policies and actions related to Early Childhood.

The focus of all this work is aimed at three holistic and cross-sectional areas: Early childhood development evaluation, parenting, and early childhood education.
