The Atlas Family Foundation supports prenatal-to-three direct services, intervention and education programs in the field of early childhood development and public policy that improves the lives of young children and their families.
Although each program area has a clear focus, we maintain a measure of flexibility necessary to respond to the needs of the community and the policy environment. As the environment in which we work shifts, we aim to strike a careful balance between incorporating changes to our agenda without shifting priorities in any fundamental way. We strive to be adaptable, listening carefully and staying attuned to the realities faced by those we seek to serve.
