Be informed about the science of early childhood development: share it, apply it, and act on it.

There is expanding evidence that the quality of early experiences plays a significant role in children’s social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development. The findings from neuroscience and developmental research, economic analyses, and relevant studies of academic achievement, health, and behaviour need to be accurately and effectively conveyed to policymakers, practitioners, and the public.

• Strengthen institutional capabilities to build links among the sciences and to establish new frameworks of understanding.
• Knowledge must be handily packaged, readily understood, and disseminated widely.
• There is a need for reporting mechanisms that balance the rigours of the science with accessible formats.
• Dissemination strategies must also recognize the different applications of the science for educators, policy makers, practitioners, parents, and the public.
