Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, n188 p8-9 Jul-Aug 2009
Early childhood funding is expected through various federal programs including Early Head Start, Head Start, Child Care and Development Funds, Title I, IDEA, and other education, health, and housing resources. This article presents three concrete recommendations for states and communities to consider. These include: (1) develop stronger infrastructure across early childhood programs; (2) create early learning and development programs 0-5, particularly in low-income neighborhoods; and (3) redesign child care policies to promote child development and learning.
