Childhood Programs and Practices in the First Decade of Life
presents research findings on the effects of early childhood
programs and practices in the first decade of life and their
implications for policy development and reform. Leading scholars in
the multidisciplinary field of human development and in early
childhood learning discuss the effects and cost-effectiveness of
the most influential model, state, and federally funded programs,
policies, and practices. These include Head Start, Early Head
Start, the WIC nutrition program, Nurse Family Partnership, and
Perry Preschool as well as school reform strategies. This volume
provides a unique multidisciplinary approach to understanding and
improving interventions, practices, and policies to optimally
foster human capital over the life course.
Health and Education in Early Childhood presents conceptual issues,
research findings, and program and policy implications in promoting
well-being in health and education in the first five years of life.
Leading researchers in the multidisciplinary fields of early
learning and human capital formation explore the themes of the
integration of health and education in promoting young children's
well-being; the timing of influences on child development; and the
focus on multiple levels of strategies to promote healthy early
development. Through this, a unique framework is provided to better
understand how early childhood health and education predictors and
interventions contribute to well-being at individual, family,
community and societal levels, and to policy development. Key
topics addressed in the chapters include nutritional status,
parenting, cognitive development and school readiness, conduct
problems and antisocial behavior, obesity, and well-being in later
childhood and adulthood.
