My mother and I meet with a variety of organizations that service families. Many of the organizations understand what we are promoting, the need to invest in our infants and toddlers. However, when we suggest a collaboration, the conversation changes they start to stutter because they are not sure if it will compete with the service they provide even though what we share with parents is, "the Gift of a Good Start" in the words of Collin Powell.
Below is a link to a video of a talk given by Collin Powell. He mentiones exactly what we've been promoting how it's important to help your child go through the different stages before they start school. The education begins the moment the baby is born. I look forward to reading your comments about the video.

Sharing information and advice on the most critical time... The first 2000 Days. What are some things you can look out for and some activities you can do with infants/toddlers to get them through the various developmental milestones before they get to school. Also I will share information for the caregivers from age appropriate books to setting up classrooms.
