Success Roots in Childhood

Evidence tells us that a person’s life successes, health and emotional wellbeing have their roots in childhood. We know that if we give our children a good start in the early years, we can expect to see them thrive throughout school and their adult lives. Both nature and nurture (genes and environment) influence children’s development. The quality of a child’s environments and the availability of appropriate experiences at the right stages of development are crucial determinants of the way each child develops.

Community Supports Our Children

As a community, we can invest now in our children and families and enjoy long-term benefits, with a more vibrant nation of healthy, achieving children and more stable families. Or, we can fail to make the investment and pay the price: increased delinquency, greater educational failures, lowered productivity, less economic competitiveness, and fewer adults prepared to be effective, loving parents to the next generation of children. Federal, state and local government, communities, parents, and the private sector must share in the responsibility of ensuring the well-being of children and families. (National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC))  

As a nation, we can and must do better to create opportunities that help all children and families succeed.       The time for action is now.

Kid Start Nation’s approach

Kid Start Nation’s approach is to be a catalyst for a community to give their children a good start.  We work with individual communities to focus on the specific needs relevant to that town or city.  Creating awareness of the issues of that community’s children we raise donations, coordinate volunteer activities and provide support and services that will have the greatest effect on the children in each specific local area.

Our approach is local, focused, action oriented and targeted for results directly from people’s efforts and donations efficiently turning them into supporting that community’s children.     

Kid Start Nation strives to be an efficient catalyst for a community to give their kids a great start in life
