Early Life and Education

Early childhood education and care is an integral part of a child’s development and learning, as well as helping to prevent future health issues.

In the United States, ECEC programs cover a range of part-day, full-school-day and full-workday options under educational, social welfare and commercial umbrellas. These initiatives often offer services for children with special needs while catering to both economic and social interests of working parents and their kids.

Though ECEC is increasingly recognized as a social determinant of health, there remain knowledge gaps and insufficient political backing for investments in these programs. Furthermore, there are issues surrounding institutional setup and coordination for these interventions.
