Mission

We partner with families of young children and the communities and systems of care that surround them so that all children – whatever their life circumstances, challenges, and resources may be – will be healthy, succeed as early learners and have the opportunity to thrive.

What We Do

The Brazelton Touchpoints Project, Inc. (DBA Brazelton Touchpoints Foundation) was incorporated to raise and receive philanthropic support for the work of the Brazelton Touchpoints Center.

We collaborate with partners nationwide to establish scalable and sustainable, low-cost, low-tech interventions that propel children’s healthy development and strengthen the collaborative relationships among—families, parents, caregivers, providers, and communities.

Since 1996, our work has reached over:
1.5 million families
50,000 providers
1,000 community-based Touchpoints trainers 50 states and the District of Columbia
21 Tribal communities

We have delivered professional and organizational development, training, and technical assistance to more than:
175 child care centers and family child care programs
160 Head Start/Early Head Start centers or programs
100 health care settings
23 institutions of higher education in health care or early education
In-home services in 19 states

As we near our 20th anniversary in 2016, we reflect upon our beginning work with early adopters of Brazelton Touchpoints and the continued growth and impact of our practice and approach. We have developed a range of professional and organizational development programs; provided training, technical assistance and consultation to 50,000 individual child-serving practitioners; and have extended the reach of our work through the Office of Head Start National Center on Parent, Family and Community Engagement at the Brazelton Touchpoints Center. We are excited about making our future offerings more robust and accessible to better meet the needs of our growing nationwide learning network.
