Vision

The Offord Centre for Child Studies will improve the life quality and life opportunities of children by optimizing their developmental health and by optimizing the capacity of families to nurture children.

Mission

The Offord Centre for Child Studies leads the search for solutions that enhance the emotional, social and cognitive development of children. This is accomplished by:

  • Leading scientific research that influences programs, policies and solutions that improve children’s life opportunities;
  • Forging partnerships with key stakeholders and policy-makers to apply research findings through communities to have maximum positive impact on children’s development;
  • Training the next generation of scientists and policy-makers to carry on this mission.
