Early Childhood Initiatives
Every child deserves the best possible start in life. The care and education children receive in their first years of life are the building blocks to future success. Yet, in Silicon Valley, one of the wealthiest regions in the nation, inequities deeply rooted in long-standing systems stack the deck against many of our youngest children, particularly those from underserved and under-resourced communities.
