Flourishing is our birthright
Young children are citizens with biological and developmental rights and every child deserves
to be provided with an environment that nurtures his or her unique skills, capacities and potential.

The Early Years is the single most important period of our lifespan 
Our early environments and experiences profoundly influence brain development and the conditions
and later mindsets necessary for healthy physical, mental and emotional growth.

Relational wellbeing lies at the core of human thriving
 We are social beings and the love, affection and consistency of our
early caregivers is essential for our development. 

Early childhood lays the roots of difference
and creates the path to compassion
 What happens to us in the early years shapes our sense of difference and the way we connect
with and relate to others. Understanding why we are the way and that underneath this
we share a common humanity, is the path to compassion

We need to protect and nurture the spirit of the child 
Children are naturally curious, playful, joyful and full of love. We need to ensure that adult-led
systems recognise the whole child by nurturing the spirit, inspiring the mind and engaging the heart.

Protecting the Generations yet to come
We need new definitions of success and courageous leadership for a rapidly changing world. All
core decisions need to be taken with a consideration towards the sustainability of the planet
and the protection and wellbeing of the children yet to come.
