Early Childhood

Providing healthy, nurturing surroundings for our children in their earliest years can help establish the building blocks for lifelong health.

From their birth through adolescence, supporting healthy cognitive, social and emotional development in our children, and connections with parents and caregivers, are some of the most important things we can do to raise healthy, well-rounded adults. RWJF is working to help advance policies and programs that enable all children in America to have the strongest start possible, and create conditions that foster future success in school and life.
