BABY FUTURES: EARLY INVESTMENTS, LIFELONG RETURNS

On September 12, 2008, Baby Futures convened a next-steps summit for 150 leaders from philanthropy, business, education and public policy in Los Angeles, to evaluate the opportunities inherent in early childhood intervention in our community.

Reknowned experts Dr. Ross Thompson and Dr. Helen Egger, policy advocate Molly Munger, and other community leaders placed a local lens on what early childhood research, policy, and services can mean for Los Angeles - a vital investment with lifelong returns.

Baby Futures is an initiative of the LA Partnership for Early Childhood Investment, designed to promote innovation and leadership for our city's children age prenatal to five, their families, and communities.

By focusing on the earliest stages of life, we all have the power to influence significant outcomes for all our families, communities, children, and our future.
