Caplan Foundation for Early Childhood invites LOIs
The Caplan Foundation for Early Childhood supports development projects and promising research that appear likely to improve the welfare of young children in the United States, from infancy through 7 years. Welfare is broadly defined to support, acculturation, societal integration, and childcare.
The foundation invites letters of intent in the following categories:
Early Childhood Welfare: According to the foundation, providing a safe and nurturing environment is essential, as is imparting the skills of social living in a culturally diverse world. Therefore, the foundation supports projects that seek to perfect child rearing practices and identify models that can provide creative, caring environments in which all young children thrive.
Early Childhood Education and Play: The foundation seeks to improve the quality of both early childhood teaching and learning, through the development of innovative curricula and research based pedagogical standards, as well as the design of imaginative play materials and learning environments.
Parenting Education: To help parents create nurturing environments for their children, the foundation supports programs that teach parents about developmental psychology, cultural child rearing differences, pedagogy, issues of health, prenatal care and diet, as well as programs which provide both cognitive and emotional support to parents.
Grants are only made if a successful project outcome will likely be of significant interest to other professionals within the grantee’s field of endeavor, and would have a direct benefit and potential national application.
Letters of intent must be received no later than September 30, 2024, and selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application.
For complete program guidelines and application procedures, see the Caplan Foundation website.
Deadline: September 30, 2024 (Letters of Intent)
