Center on the Developing Child

The vitality and sustainability of a democratic society depend on the extent to which it equalizes opportunities early in life for all children to achieve their full potential and engage in responsible and productive citizenship. The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University has been established to advance that vision. Building initially on faculty in the Harvard School of Public Health, Harvard Graduate School of Education, and Harvard Medical School-affiliated Children's Hospital Boston, the Center will draw ultimately on all Harvard-wide schools and affiliated hospitals to generate a rich portfolio of scholarship, education, and public engagement. Our mission is to close the gap between what we know and what we do to build a strong foundation during childhood for a lifetime of successful learning, physical and mental health, adaptive behavior, and community well-being, in the United States and globally. Our strategy is to advance scientific knowledge in the service of securing a brighter future for the world through enlightened investment in its children. Read more
