For Our Babies outlines a comprehensive platform of services and supports, focused around the Four Pillars that support healthy development of babies and the adults who care for them:
Why investing early matters
Research proves that investing early has tremendous personal and societal benefits:
- Fewer health
problems & costs - Fewer & less severe
mental health problems - Higher socioeconomic
status later in life - Better performance
in school - Less crime
Compared to other industrialized nations, the United States does little to proactively nurture brain development between conception and age three.
The Four Pillars capitalize on the opportunity that babies’ rapid brain development provides, helping society realize the benefits of healthy children.
