General Objective
Stimulate new ideas to create intervention strategies to impact early childhood.
In 2017 we worked to strengthen three projects in design, execution and evaluation. We identify key learnings for upcoming phases:
Welfare in your pregnancy. We confirm the importance of creating bonds with organizations that incorporate the program into their institutional objectives.
“We’ve contributed new ideas, challenges, materials and discoveries that have amplified and diversified learning opportunities“

Parents, very cool ones. Some contents are better received in one-to-one sessions than in group workshops. It is necessary to design material to consult at home.
Time to play. The use of local resources and the adaptation based on preferences and needs of each corresponding family boosts effectivity in the visits.
