Early childhood experiences have a profound impact on brain development, affecting learning, health, behavior, and ultimately, lifetime opportunities. Yet millions of young children are not reaching their full potential due to a lack of nurturing care and support, which includeadequate nutrition and health, early stimulation, and protection from stress.
