Early Connections
We believe that caregivers develop confidence in their abilities to positively contribute to their child’s development by connecting to other supportive people and resources from the beginning of their child’s life.

Mutual Support
We believe that genuine, continuous, and enduring support is essential for nurturing and sustaining the health of the family unit throughout its lifelong development.

Personal Investment
We believe that families who play an active role in advocating for, designing, and providing the support they need, can change their lives for the better and build a more supportive community for families.

Diversity
We are committed to encouraging individuals of all races, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, and socio-economic backgrounds to form communities in order to break down the barriers to inclusion.

We believe diverse communities come together when the participants discover their similarities and appreciate the unique perspectives and contributions each person offers to the group.

Collaboration
We believe that individuals and organizations that share knowledge, resources, and experiences form strong and sustainable communities.

Holistic Health
We believe that children and adults who participate in communities that encourage learning, creativity, and play experience emotional, social, physical, and intellectual nourishment.

Neighborhood Viability
We believe that communities are stronger when they have formal and informal institutions that create community connections.
