In response to the lack of early intervention for infants and young children in underdeveloped rural areas, CFRD launched the Early Childhood Development Program in 2022. The program focuses on cultivating local caregivers, establishing early childhood development activity centres, and delivering early development services to enhance parents' scientific childcare awareness. It aims to help rural infants and toddlers achieve their developmental potential and promote their healthy growth.

Guided by the principle of "steady implementation and model creation," the program continues to advance the Huiyu Hope Early Childhood Development Project. Efforts include conducting project management training, supervision, research, and evaluation to enhance execution capabilities. The program also highlights case studies to amplify its impact through strategic communications. Additionally, the Thousand-Day Children's Early Childhood Development Project was piloted to explore innovative digital intervention methods.
