What we do

We are a think tank that conducts research, raises awareness and proposes actions to protect early childhood (ages 0–5).
In Mexico, we are the only research center specializing in the earliest years of life, and we work to build a world where children can be children.

Who we are

We develop evidence-based public policy proposals to improve health, care, education, safety and protection in early childhood.
Our proposals support viable, sustainable, large-scale projects, in partnership with social actors committed to addressing the challenges that undermine children’s development and rights.

Why we do it

We chose to work for early childhood because:

1.

We know that the earliest years of life are crucial to human development. Brain development is so significant during this stage that an unsuitable environment can harm the process of growth.

2.

We believe that this population does not receive enough attention, and that we must contribute to its well-being. The costs of failing to act in time are high.

3.

We are convinced that public policies focused on early childhood care are the best way to give children a better start in life and a brighter future.

4.

We recognize that supporting this population from the earliest years of life helps build a more prosperous and developed society.

How we work

We use an advocacy model to influence public policies focused on early childhood care.
