    About this ebook

    Learn how exemplary countries are advancing the development of their youngest citizens. Drawing on a groundbreaking study, The Early Advantage 2 extracts the essential elements from six high-performing systems to determine what must be considered when creating and implementing programs and policies for young children and their families. Use this volume, along with The Early Advantage 1, for a complete insider’s guide to changing how we think and enact innovative services and policies for young children.

    “This book pushes the thinking on quality of early childhood systems and reflects on what it takes to build systems that are equitable, efficient, and sustainable.”
    —M. Caridad Araujo, Inter-American Development Bank

    “Sharon Lynn Kagan, a giant of international early childhood education, has produced yet another must-read for early childhood professionals around the world. The volume takes a much-needed systems perspective to scale up quality early childhood services for all children. A brilliant piece of work!”
    —Pia Rebello Britto, UNICEF

    “Reads like a testament to what can and should be, a road map for the leaders and peoples of any country or governmental jurisdiction interested in ensuring its own future by focusing on the futures of its youngest citizens. Sincere gratitude to Professor Kagan and her colleagues for mapping the early childhood social strategy path forward!”
    —Walter Gilliam, Yale University
