Rezensionen
"This is a thorough yet conciseoverview of the evidence underlying current public and private efforts to enhance early care and education. It will be especiallyvaluableto those interested inusing public policyto promote better early learning experiences and betterdevelopment for young children." - Edward L. Schor, MD, Vice President, The Commonwealth Fund

"Tarlov and Debbink have produced a gem! From the first chapter on the neuroscience of development, the authors have provided a very readable, evidence based book that is timely and important. Forty years after Head Start was launched, it is time that we all acted as parents, grandparents, citizens at the local, state and national levels to apply what has been learned about the benefits of early childhood education to individuals throughout their lifetime, to families, to schools, employers, taxpayers and communities throughout the country. Today there is no better source of information on the subject, from basic neuroscience and effective early childhood programs to statewide efforts. This is a must read." - Philip R. Lee, MD, Professor Emeritus of Social Medicine, Stanford University; formerly Assistant Secretary for Health, US Dept. HHS 1965-69 and 1993-1997

"This book, edited by Tarlov and Debbink, is an excellent summary of the evidence about brain development in the early years of life and the effects on health, learning, and behavior throughout life. The story of The Texas Plan for early child development programs illustrates how communities can take steps to develop quality early child development programs." - J. Fraser Mustard, MD, Founder of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research

"Investing in Early Childhood Development is an excellent resource for policymakers, educators, and advocates of ECDE programs, as well as others who want to learn more about the field." - Richard Sawyer, PhD, Educational Horizons
