The Center on the Developing Child (Harvard)

The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University researches how early experiences influence a child's brain development, learning, and health throughout life. It emphasizes that a nurturing, stable environment helps build strong brain connections, leading to better emotional and cognitive skills. The center works to share scientific insights with policymakers, practitioners, and families, promoting early interventions and policies that support healthy development from birth. By understanding and improving early childhood conditions, the center aims to foster resilient, capable individuals and healthier communities.
