Nod Dechrau'n Deg yw rhoi gwell dechrau mewn bywyd i blant. Yn y tymor hir, dylai hyn arwain at lai o anfanteision i bobl ifanc ar sail y cymunedau lle maent yn cael eu magu.  Yn y tymor byr, mae'r rhaglen yn cynorthwyo rhieni i gael sgiliau angenrheidiol i helpu gyda datblygiad eu plant, ac ar ben hynny mae'n rhoi cyfle iddynt gyrraedd at hyfforddiant a chymorth i wella'u cyfleoedd am swyddi, a thrwy hynny eu codi allan o dlodi.
Flying Start’s aim is to give children a better start in life and, in the longer term, this should see young people being less disadvantaged because of the communities in which they grow up.  In the short term the programme is not only helping to provide parents with the skills they need to support their child’s development, but also giving them the opportunity to access training and support to improve their employment prospects and so take them out of poverty.
