wk5 comments Center's Global Children's Initiative

The Center's Global Children’s Initiative has begun to build a portfolio of activities in three domains: early childhood development; mental health; and children in crisis and conflict situations.
Some of the priorities of this area is to apply knowledge that will address the health and development needs of children in a diverse setting.This will be done by piloting assessments to measure the child's developmentoutcomes linked to malari control strategies in Zambia.Expanding effective interventions to improve preschool quality.

NBCDI  What We Do
Early Care and Education


       This program promotes the development of high quality education. It serves children birth to
eight years of age. This program shows that educating our early learners is most important. This
program will assist with developing an appropriate curriculum and support to staff on assessing a
child's needs. The most important information from my assessment is that they provide commitments to ensuring cultural and racial diversity in the workforce, which may decrease, even while the population of children has grown increasingly more diverse.
       This information is to encourage states, districts and schools to embed professional development opportunities that support a deeper understanding of families' race and culture, and teach teachers from all backgrounds how to strengthen a better relationship with parents and community.

The ZERO TO THREE Policy Center is a nonpartisan, research-based resource for federal and state policymakers and advocates on the unique developmental needs of infants and toddlers. The Policy Center brings to bear ZERO TO THREE’s more than 30 years of research-based expertise on infant and toddler development to ensure that public policies reflect best practices and current research in support of our nation’s very young children.

Our agenda is simple: The ZERO TO THREE Policy Center promotes good health, strong families, and positive early learning experiences for all infants and toddlers, with special emphasis on those who are the most vulnerable and in need. The Policy Center advances public policy solutions and investments for the health and development of very young children and their families. In doing so, the Policy Center synthesizes and disseminates knowledge, cultivates advocacy leadership, and engages policymakers.
