Community investment that gives kids a foundation to succeed in life means ensuring they have proper nutrition, housing and education.
The short-term goals of this program are to give children and youth full access to basic essentials currently not available to specific communities in the greater Moncton area. These essential services range from having access to good recreational and leisure programs, to transportation and nutrition and health services for underserved areas. The long-term goals of this program is to better prepare young people for the future, while at the same time helping them to leave dependency and move towards a life time of interdependency.

Capital One recently worked with Invest in Kids, a national charitable organization dedicated to ensuring the healthy development of Canada's youngest children, to bring their Comfort, Play & Teach Centre™ to Canadian youth. This interactive activity centre allows parents and their young children to strengthen their relationship while enjoying time together.
Comfort, Play & Teach is Invest in Kids' research-informed parenting approach to support healthy child development. These three parenting actions work together to generate responses from children that transform everyday interactions from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Comfort, Play & Teach builds parenting confidence, strengthens the parent-child bond, enriches the moment for the child and parent, and, ultimately, opens a world of possibilities for them both.
