From Best Practices to Breakthrough Impacts
A science-based approach to building a more promising future for young children and families
This recently published report from the Harvard Centre of the Developing Child introduces a new and complimentary approach exploring how research and development in interventions can work better together to build more successful policies and practice related to early childhood.
The report states that a shared focus on both evidence-based care and research and development is essential and will result to more effective interventions.

The report ends with this call to action:
The central question before us is not whether strategic risk-taking and fresh thinking are important prerequisites to breakthrough impacts for children and families facing adversity.
The more compelling questions are:
- How can we make that happen?
- What will it take to reduce the barriers?
- How can we increase the incentives?
- How can we come together across multiple sectors and work collaboratively with families and communities to learn from both failure and success?
The possibility for substantial progress in our ability to dramatically improve the life prospects of all young children is real. The time to aim higher is now.
