Invest in Stronger Families & Brighter Futures
Your gift equips professionals to support parents, strengthens bonds, and helps children thrive—starting from day one.
Why Your Gift Matters
At Great Kids, our mission is to create and deliver evidence-based early childhood and parenting curricula that professionals utilize to empower families, strengthen parent-child relationships, and lay the foundation for lifelong success.
The early years shape everything—from brain development to emotional well-being. Yet, many families face barriers to provide the nurturing relationships and responsive caregiving their children need.
- 1 in 3 children enters kindergarten without essential skills for academic success
- Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can affect lifelong health and opportunity
- Parenting support works, but access remains uneven across communities
We’re closing these gaps by equipping early childhood professionals with practical, research-driven tools they use to help families build resilience, foster attachment, and create safe, developmentally enriching environments.

Testimonials
“Growing Great Kids is the reason I do what I do today. When I was a brand-new home visitor, it was this curriculum that I fell in love with and [what] motivated me to continue to do this work. Through the use of the GGK curriculum, I have seen parents fall in love with their babies when they didn’t think that they could. I have seen parents and children sharing joyful interactions through play when they didn’t know how.”
– Krystal Layne, MSW, CSW, HANDS Program Manager, Clark County Health Department
“Great Kids is one of our favorite parts of this job we get to do. We have really loved the whole curriculum Growing Great Families, Growing Great Kids, Play With Me… The parents are really taking a second to stop and think about what their child might be feeling or experiencing… We also love the brain science and we love making sure that families and children feel safe, secure, loved, valued, curious, and capable.”
– Candace Ware, Catholic Charities of Central Colorado
