Our Areas of Investment
We are committed to advancing the most promising prenatal-to-five programs and policies to create and expand systems of support for New Jersey children and families.
Healthy Births and Strong Beginnings
Laying the foundation for a brighter future begins well before birth. The prenatal period is critical to a child’s outcomes during infancy, throughout early childhood, and even into adulthood.
Healthy Parent-Child Relationships
Children need nurturing care and strong, stable relationships to grow. For infants, the best start in life begins with well-established bonds with caregivers and the fulfillment of basic needs such as nutrition, stimulation, and a safe home environment.
Early Care and Learning
Early childhood care and early learning experiences can play a major role in the development of infants and toddlers and pave the way for success later in life. High-quality, affordable child care provides engaging, interactive, and stimulating experiences that build a solid foundation for young children.
Building a Strong and Diverse Perinatal Workforce
Advancing efforts to grow and diversify the perinatal workforce to deliver effective, patient-centered care and enable program scale-up.
