The 2000 Days Pledge is an effort to bring parents and teachers together as partners to support a child’s growth and development during an important time in life – the first 2000 days – roughly the time between birth and the start of kindergarten. Research tells us that 90% of a child’s brain development happens before kindergarten even begins. Through a community-wide collaboration with partners like the Cleveland Browns Foundation, The Centers for Families and Children is raising awareness on how families and teachers working together can make the most of this critical time.
The 2000 Days Pledge demonstrates the importance of everyday experiences during this critical time and how they impact a child’s future in school, career and life.
