The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University leverages scientific insights to improve outcomes for young children facing adversity. They focus on early childhood development and highlight key concepts like brain architecture and toxic stress.
The mission of the Center on the Developing Child is to use science to achieve better, more equitable outcomes for young children facing adversity. They emphasize six key scientific concepts that shape early development and lifelong health: brain architecture, serve and return, toxic stress, lifelong health and well-being, timing and critical periods, and developmental environments. The center also offers a Resource Library with science-based materials on various early childhood development topics and invites visitors to subscribe for updates on their latest news and resources.
