The playing field for early childhood advocacy is larger than any particular city or state. Every issue is national because the life of every child is tied to those of the other youngsters who benefit from our work. Just Beginning provides early childhood development experts and advocates with the information they need to stay abreast of upcoming events, ongoing litigation and other developments throughout the United States.

Over the past two weeks, I have had the pleasure of spending time with George Sheldon, who is in charge of the HHS’s Administration for Children and Families. I was especially fortunate to accompany him on a visit to Dr. Charles Zeanah at the Tulane Institute for Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health’s clinic outside of New Orleans. There, I observed the coordination between child welfare agency and child development/infant mental health professionals working together to reunite families or otherwise find permanent homes for children. http://www.infantinstitute.com/index.html
