The First Years Last Forever

 

Babyzone is building an ecosystem to transform early years outcomes at scale - bringing together families, practitioners and partners - locally and globally.

Why Early Years Matter

Decades of research have shown that the earliest years shape everything that follows.

More than 80% of brain development happens before age three, when over a million new neural connections form every second - the raw wiring for learning, wellbeing and opportunity. After that, the brain begins to prune the pathways it uses least and strengthen the ones that are active, meaning early experiences quite literally sculpt a child’s future. The returns on early years investment are among the greatest in social policy - delivering lasting gains in education, health, employment and community resilience.

 

If we solve early years, we don’t just solve one of society’s problems – we can solve them all.
Charles Mindenhall, Co-Founder & Chair, Babyzone

Our Model

Our model works like a flywheel: a self-reinforcing system where every element strengthens the next - high-quality hubs, evidence-led programmes, confident parents, shared learning and global influence.

The more it turns, the faster it accelerates.

Confident, knowledgeable parents and practitioners → thriving children.

Babyzone Everyday Maths

Everyday Maths is a 40‑week pathway that makes maths visible in everyday routines. Activities follow a clear content spine across early maths domains, including number, shape and space, measurement, data and patterns. Sessions like Super Shape Explorers and the Maths Corner turn play into learning, then travel home via cue cards, online resources, WhatsApp nudges and Baby Buddy pathways.
