(2)  support the parents from pregnancy onwards by providing them with the tools most likely to contribute to such development; and

(3)  support innovation and the acquisition and transfer of knowledge in the area of early childhood development.

Only activities, projects and initiatives that do not come under regular programs established or approved by the Government may be financed by the fund.
