Media coverage of a recent study from
NICHD Early Child Care and Youth Development has sounded the alarm
about the relation between early child care experience and
children's behavior in later elementary school.

CEED Policy Brief, February 14, 2007
In summer 2006, the Minneapolis
Foundation announced a focus on promoting universal Full Day, Every
Day Kindergarten (FDED-K) in Minnesota as a strategy for closing the
achievement gap. In the context of broad interest in early learning
and achievement gap issues, FDED-K has been embraced in various
forms by various political groups. DFLers in both houses picked up
on universal FDED-K as important and doable. Minnesota Governor Tim
Pawlenty and GOP legislators support the idea of targeted, not
universal, FDED-K.

CEED
published the Minnesota Infant Mental Health
Feasibility Study in 1998. The study reported
on what services are needed to support the
mental health of infants/toddlers in
Minnesota communities, which of these
supports are currently available, and what
the state's role can and should be in
fostering the development of services that
are needed.

What is the quality of child care
in Minnesota?
Four Child Care
Resource and Referral programs in Minnesota and
faculty from the University of Minnesota asked themselves this question. They decided to
take a close look at child care in four
representative counties to learn more. Measuring
Up is their report.
