The Centre of Excellence for Early Childhood Development (CEECD) improves children’s lives by gathering and sharing information on the social and emotional development of children with those who need it most:
CEECD is based at the Université de Montréal and works in partnership with Canadian and international health organizations, education and social services, non-governmental organizations, and other research organizations.
Did You Know?![]() The effect of prenatal and early childhood experiences on subsequent health, well-being, coping skills and competence is a powerful health determinant. Children experience a phase of accelerated growth in the first five years of their lives. The education, care and attention they receive during this period can have a crucial impact on their future. By understanding early childhood development, parents, service providers, and policy makers can better meet the social and emotional needs of Canada’s young children. |
