Empowering children, families, and communities through knowledge, care, and action.
At ICHD, our programs are designed to strengthen the foundations of child development — from the earliest years through community initiatives, professional training, and evidence-based advocacy.
We focus on three core pillars: nurturing, empowering, and influencing.
We develop and deliver services that promote optimal growth and development for young children, especially those with developmental delays and special needs. Our work includes parenting support, early stimulation guidance, and community-based child development programs.
We offer specialized training programs and courses for educators, caregivers, healthcare providers, and development professionals. Our flagship course "How Children Learn" is available both online and offline.
ICHD leads and collaborates on research projects that influence policy and improve early childhood and human development practices in Bangladesh and beyond. Our research guides public policy, service innovation, and program evaluation.
We equip parents with knowledge and practical tools to better understand and support their children's physical, emotional, and cognitive development through workshops, materials, and community-based outreach.
ICHD provides advisory and technical services to organizations, government bodies, and international partners on child development program design, training material development, daycare operation models, and ECD-focused assessment tools.
From children’s storybooks to professional manuals like How Children Learn, ICHD develops and publishes resources to expand knowledge and drive best practices in the field of child development.
If you’re an educator, institution, or organization interested in building impactful child development programs or training your team — we’d love to work with you!
