Letter from CEO Paula Neth
Why Every child can reach their full potential when we invest in them and those who care for them.
We don’t think it will work, we KNOW it will.

The amount of information an individual is able to process and retain is greatest during the first five years of life, when 90 percent of brain growth occurs.

The single most common factor for children who develop resilience is at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive parent, caregiver, or other adult.
