Our goal is to support educators, families, and children to chart their own course toward improving the lives of children during these critical years of growth and transition.

Weaving MDI data together with local knowledge will allow you to better identify and address the many factors that are influencing children’s development. The better informed we are, the greater power we have to make a difference.

Significant change can and needs to occur at many levels – individual relationships, classroom environments and activities, school culture, community services, and government policy. At each level – big and small in scope – there are opportunities to improve child well-being now and see benefits across the lifespan.
