fosters
Helps develop gradually
Fosters is the third-person singular of foster, meaning to encourage, nurture, or promote the development of something: The program fosters creativity in young artists.
Foster implies sustained support over time rather than a single act.
The word also relates to raising a child not biologically one's own: She fosters children through the county system.
