EVERY CHILD DESERVES A STRONG START

Attachment Programs

Birth to age three is a critical window for brain and social-emotional development.

A strong, secure attachment with at least one caregiver lays the foundation for lifelong mental well-being, confidence, and resilience. Make the Connection® gives parents and early-years professionals practical, evidence-based strategies to strengthen bonds and support healthy development.
