The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University

The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University is dedicated to understanding how early experiences shape a child's brain development and long-term health and success. They research the science of early childhood, emphasizing the importance of nurturing relationships, healthy environments, and early interventions. Their work aims to inform policies and practices that support optimal development for all children, especially those facing adversity. By translating scientific insights into practical strategies, the Center strives to create a strong foundation for lifelong learning, behavior, and health.
