This document consists of the three 2000 issues of a journal reporting new research in early child development conducted by the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Articles in the spring 2000 issue focus on a follow-up study of the Abecedarian Project, children of depressed mothers, child-teacher relationships, and early childhood education program quality. The summer 2000 issue focuses on how North Carolina is making major changes in rating child care centers, the impact of comprehensive community initiatives on child care quality, the relationship between state regulations and child care in four states, and barriers preschool teachers encounter in their work. The winter 2000 issue delineates the core values of the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Center and highlights projects showing the relationships between research and the outreach vision, a holistic approach to outreach, bridging the gap between theory and practice, parent leadership, and making research work more accessible. Each issue also lists recent publications by researchers at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Center. (KB)
