Early Childhood Policy Studies Program

 
The Early Childhood Policy Studies Program develops individuals’ capacity to apply research-informed knowledge of early development to federal and state policy affecting children up to age 8. The faculty includes instructors from a wealth of perspectives, disciplines, and academic units. The certificate is sponsored by the Center for Early Education and Development (CEED) and the Institute of Child Development (ICD) with the support of faculty and staff from the Children, Youth and Family Consortium, the Medical School, the Law School, the School of Public Health, the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs, and the College of Education and Human Development. This program is part of the action plan for President Bruininks’ Initiative on Children, Youth & Families.

Policymakers and researchers from governmental and nongovernmental agencies assisted with planning this program and will serve on an advisory committee.
