We work alongside early childhood professionals and parents to help children ages 1-5 recognize, embrace, and appreciate differences.
Our young children today will soon be tomorrow’s leaders.
They will work and live with an increasingly rich diversity of people. Young Hearts Open Minds™ integrates early childhood education best practices and science to help prevent the development of bias, in particular racial bias. This comprehensive program helps young children learn to appreciate and embrace differences so they can have greater academic, social, and career success.
