About
Quality early childhood care and education (ECCEd) has the power to transform children’s lives. It can contribute to greater efficiency in education and health systems and a better-skilled workforce. Attention to early childhood education can also help build more equal and inclusive societies. Early childhood is the time when promoting gender equality and a culture of peace makes a true difference, as the pace of brain development is at its peak. When children are exposed to values and attitudes that support gender equality and peace at an early age, they are likely to hold them in later stages in life.
