Caplan Foundation for Early Childhood

Caplan Foundation for Early Childhood was founded in 2014 in the United States as a result of the will of Theresa Caplan according to which her estate was to be used for innovation and research aimed at meeting the needs of children from infancy to the age of seven.

The main goal of the Caplan Foundation is to provide financial resources to fund projects that improve the wellbeing of young children. This includes physical and mental health, education, childcare, safety, family support, social integration and development as well as play.
