Habitot’s Key Initiatives are:
Advocating for Early Childhood Learning through Play— demonstrating through exhibits and programs that young children learn best through play, and that children become socially skilled and emotionally healthy through play;
Supporting Preschool Arts— cultivating children’s natural creativity and imagination from the earliest years through opportunities to create art and by presenting enriching cultural performances from musicians, dancers, storytellers and singers;
Fostering Parenting Education—increasing parent/caregiver understanding of early childhood development and successful parenting to enhance parent-child bonding and family well-being so that children thrive; and
Building Community—serving as a center for community engagement, parent-to-parent connection, and supportive caregiver networks, and including vulnerable populations through dedicated programs.
