A growing body of literature indicates that a child’s first six years of development significantly affect

In response to the demand for knowledge and the expectation of evidence to guide decision making and resource allocation, the Understanding the Early Years (UEY) Initiative was developed in 1999 by Human Resources Development Canada.
