The Science of Childhood in Brazil

Because evidenced based research, has opened doors and paved a path for those promoting the importance of early education across the counrty, I found an article on Harvard University's Center on the Developing Child, to be quite interesting. Harvard's Global children's initiative has collaborated with local experts to create a program(Nucleo Ciencia Pela Infancia)that will use the science of child health and development to encourage stronger policies and larger investments, which would assist children and their families in Brazil. The collaboration include Harvard's Center on the Developing Child, the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies at Harvard University, Fundacao Maria Cecilia Souto Vidigal, the faculty of Medicine at the University of Sao Paulo, and Insper. The project will give The Center on the Developing child opportunities to work closely with Brazillian scholars , policymakers, and civil society leaders to provide a program model similiar to the center's programmatic model for the local context, which would be the catalyst for the creation of more effective policies and programs, that will create a properous, sustainable and equitable society (Center on the Developing Child,n.d.). Knowing efforts to provide quality care to all children, makes my heart glad!
