Getting to Know Your International Contacts

The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University is a great place for professionals, advocates, and families to learn about new developments in early childhood. The center has developed a global initiative that has three main objectives. The first one is making sure policy makers are educated about the underlining behaviors and health in children. The second initiative is creating multidisciplinary research in selected countries to promote better understanding globally on healthy development. The third initiative is to build leadership areas in low income areas to allow these areas the opportunity to contribute to the global initiative for the betterment of children.

As part of the global initiative the center has launched a program in Brazil called Nucleo Ciencia Pelia Infancia. The program is designed for advocates and professionals to created better policies for the children of Brazil. The organization has been productive in getting healthy development for children across countries. Zambian early childhood development project is another way for the organization to bring awareness to the importance of healthy development to countries across Africa.  I appreciate that there is an organization that continues efforts to raise awareness globally on early childhood healthy developments.
