Early Child Development

Developed by the World Bank, the site examines Early Childhood Development and the theory underlying its techniques and programs, benefits gained from ECD interventions, how to design and run and Early Childhood Development program and evaluate its efficacy, and how to do a cost-benefit analysis. The sections entitled 'What is Early Childhood Development' and 'Why Invest in Early Childhood Development' provide excellent information about development stages and socio economic influences.

In the Psychology section of the Evergreen Curriculum, Topic 3.5: Looking
Through the Eyes of the Systems of Supports looks at the Ecological model of Bronfenbrenner to describe the various degrees and types of influence that the systems of support have on infant development.

The website offers insights into what is and is not available for Early Childhood Development.

There are three Activities available at the Topic 3.5: Looking Through the Eyes of the Systems of Supports link that the website would enhance and help give students a better understanding of what's available and how it can help.
