Gained About Early Childhood Systems Around The Globe.
The
Global Children’s Initiative has begun to build a portfolio of activities in
three domains: early childhood development; child mental health; and children in crisis and conflict
situations.
Un
Buen Comieno (UBC), "A Good Start," is a collaborative project in
Santiago, Chile, to improve the quality of early childhood education through teacher
professional development. . UBC, which has received some funding from the Center, is an example of
the kind of integrated child development work that is central to the Center's
mission.
As part of its Global Children’s Initiative, the Center
is launching Núcleo Ciência Pela Infância, its first major programmatic effort
outside the United States. In collaboration with local experts, the project
aims to use the science of child health and development to guide stronger
policies and larger investments to benefit young children and their families in
Brazil

It is great to see that the child development world here in the United States is reaching out to build connections with other countries in order to share research and programs which enhance equity and quality. It gives hope that as we work together we can minimize these issues as we build stronger children, families and communities. Thank you for sharing your new insights Sheena, it has shed some light on my thoughts.
