History

A brief history

An aim of Children Our Ultimate Investment (UK) is to tackle disadvantage and social exclusion through delivering a practical youth development programme, Teens and Toddlers. This innovative programme fosters, through intensive interaction with small children and classroom time, greater self aspiration and hope for the future, as well as educational attainment.

Laura Huxley, founder of COUI in the USATeens and Toddlers was originally conceived by Laura Huxley, widow of the writer Aldous Huxley, in the late 1970s in California USA. Laura developed deep concerns for disadvantaged children, their capacity to fulfill their human potential and their earliest relationship experiences. Children Our Ultimate Investment (UK) is dedicated to the 'nurturing of the possible human'.
