Early Childhood Matters 2025: Online Launch Event

Parents of young children are under pressure, yet their needs often go unseen in public life and policy. Join us to explore what’s missing, why support systems are failing, and what we can do to better back parents and caregivers.

We need to talk about care: the needs of parents with young children often go unseen and unheard in public life and policy. They face growing pressure, are overworked, and their support systems are strained or disappearing. So what can we do to better support them?

Opening remarks: Michael Feigelson, CEO, Van Leer Foundation
