- 200 million children under 5 years fail to reach their potential in cognitive development(1)
- Over 43 per cent of children under the age of 5 are at risk of not fulfilling their full developmental potential.(1)
- ECD is part of the transformative agenda for 2030, making it an international priority for the 21st century.(1)
- Early Childhood Development is a smart investment(2)
- ECD investments give back almost 13 per cent annually(3)
- Quality integrated ECD programs have the potential to boost individual adult earning by almost 25%.(3)
- Child development is a dynamic process of optimally utilizing the genetic potential of a baby, within the context of the environment made available, so as to enable him / her to achieve the full potential. Although a continuous process, first year of life and pre-school years form the most critical period in the child’s development. The difficult part is identifying babies at-risk for poor development.(4)
- Survival of high-risk neonates has improved considerably in the past three decades due to improved perinatal care. However, mere survival is not enough; it is the quality of survival that is more important. For the parents and the physicians taking care of these high-risk babies, it is of vital importance to know if these babies are going to be normal.
