Harvard University Center on the Developing Child

Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child is a research organization that studies how young children grow and develop. It focuses on understanding the science of childhood development, especially how early experiences and environments impact brain growth, learning, and health. The center aims to translate this scientific knowledge into practical strategies for parents, caregivers, and policymakers to support children’s healthy development and help them reach their full potential. By promoting early intervention and informed policies, the center seeks to improve outcomes for children and families across diverse backgrounds.
