Showcasing Responsive Interactions in The Earliest Years
The Universal Baby Project believes that responsive interactions between caregivers and young children happen in many different ways - everyday, everywhere.
Our Guiding Principles
01
We believe in sharing the existing knowledge of parenting practices around the world and deepening our understanding of child development
02
We believe that partnerships are strengthened when they engage from a place of positivity, mutual respect and cultural relevance
​
03
We believe that the power of video, when locally sourced, can inform and motivate behaviour
04
We believe caregivers are the drivers of change for a better future for the world's children
Our Vision
ALL caregivers have access to the science of early childhood neurodevelopment
​
ALL children benefit from early interactions that promote healthy brain development - the tenets of neurodevelopment are universal
​
ALL communities can learn from, and contribute to, a network of learning toward the wellbeing of every child
Responsive Caregiving
The Universal Baby Project believes that nurturing environments (good health, adequate nutrition, opportunities for early learning, responsive caregiving, and security and safety) in the early years can support children to reach their full developmental potential.
Our video tools showcase responsive caregiving and the many different ways it shows up around the world.
