Encouraging positive infant development
Research shows that infant development is strongly related to the child's home environment. A baby who gets lots of love and attention will actually learn better and be far more apt to reach his or her fullest potential. Every daily experience becomes a learning session that stimulates the brain for positive infant development.
We now know that babies who get lots of love and attention actually learn better. Newborns come into the world ready for interaction. How each baby connects to parents and others around him sets the stage for infant development and future growth. To help parents ensure that infant development continues, Civitas helps parents gain access to important resource information.

Our community
Civitas works to shape its vision of community by creating, producing and distributing educational tools that support all adults caring for young children. What allows Civitas to do this work on a national scale is its commitment to collaboration in each step of its process.
A unique feature of Civitas is its distribution "pipeline." This network is made of up a diverse group of non-profit organizations, public institutions, academic organizations, corporations, retailers, distributors and foundations. Each organization takes advantage of Civitas' educational tools in the context of their own efforts to reach out to the community of adults caring for young children.
Civitas people and products have appeared in numerous publications and television broadcasts. Each appearance aids us in our mission to increase awareness of new findings in early childhood development and relay that information to adults who care for and about children.
Children benefit from a community of adults who share a core knowledge that promotes the care and well-being of every child.
