HILDESIGN's mission is to create a place of value for children in the culture

at large and to make every citizen aware that the right to a safe, nurturing,
respectful & responsive environment is the basic right of every child.
To achieve this, we educate professionals and the public about how the social,
cognitive and physical needs of children translate into design requirements.

hildren interface continually with the designed world from their very

first moments of life. That design influences all aspects of their childhood,
exerting a profound impact on children's health, safety, learning, development,
and behavior... in homes, schools and public places... and equally on adult
interactions with children. For children and for the adults who care for and
educate them, the impacts of design are comprehensive and constant,
even when ignored. Thus...

esign as a tool  must be used to create a safe, stimulating & inclusive

world for children that will protect and nurture children while simultaneously
supporting the efforts and goals of their families, their caregivers, their teachers
and their communities.

esign sets the tone and provides the possibilities for including children in

the culture, for enabling them to succeed, for aiding parenting, and for realizing
the public and private goals we hold for our children. CHILDESIGN's aim is to
insure that the positive power of design is utilized for the benefit of children.

t takes a new way of thinking and a new way of seeing.

CHILDESIGN provides this new vision.
