Moving Mountains is dedicated to strengthening early childhood systems through early intervention, childcare provider education, family support, and inclusive community programming. The initiative will increase access to developmental screenings, skilled professional consultation, caregiver education, and inclusive events and programs, helping ensure that children of all abilities have the support they need to thrive where they live, learn, and play.

"Through Moving Mountains for Rising Steps, we are investing not only in children, but also in the families, educators, and caregivers who support them every day.
