Attendees from NYU, multilateral development banks, and early childhood NGOs and foundations discussed parental support initiatives.

Housed at NYU Steinhardt, Global TIES for Children hosted a launch event for the latest edition of the Van Leer Foundation’s flagship Early Childhood Matters journal last month at the Kimmel Center.

Around 60 people attended the launch event, including representatives from around NYU, such as faculty and staff from Steinhardt and NYU Langone. Also in attendance were practitioners from the early childhood community in New York City, including the International Rescue Committee, Sesame Workshop, Save the Children, and Innovations for Poverty Action.

What does it mean to truly support parents and caregivers in shaping the future of children’s development?

From policy and research to insightful conversations and a moving performance by Carnegie Hall’s Lullaby Project, our recent gathering at NYU brought together powerful voices to explore just that—through the lens of the latest issue of #EarlyChildhoodMatters2025, published by Van Leer Foundation.

When we support those who care for children, we invest in a stronger, more compassionate future.
