"Governments are going to tell you that early learning is something they simply cannot afford at this time. When they do, I might suggest you'd like to reply as follows: First, early childhood development should be an essential part of any economic stimulus package. More than anything else, it's the gift that keeps giving.”

-- Right Hon. Paul Martin

The Council for Early Child Development has brought together an international, multi-disciplinary brain trust to not only answer the whys but to provide the how to's of connecting the science of early child development to coherent policy and doable actions.
