The NCPI proposal is to be a solid bridge between what is produced by the scientific community and society. By translating scientific knowledge about Early Childhood Development into accessible language for all, it aims to foster the emergence of new public policies and programs that increase children’s well-being and quality of life by promoting Brazil’s sustainable social and economic development.
Our initiatives are divided into four workstreams. Learn more about each one here:
Multidisciplinary body that brings together researchers from different areas, such as medicine, nursing, neuroscience, psychology, economics, public policies, and education. It aims to convey the scientific content on early childhood development to society in a accessible way, bridging the gap between science, practice and public policy.
It is a social innovation laboratory to create and test solutions that can transform the lives of children in vulnerable situations. The purpose is to foster the development and adoption of innovative practices and support the development of solutions based on science and with the potential to be applied in scale.
The Executive Leadership Program in Early Childhood Development seeks to sensitize, empower and mobilize public policymakers, public and private sector managers, representatives of multilateral organizations and leaders of Brazilian civil society organizations to work in favor of early childhood development to its full extent.
This event is dedicated to topics related to Early Childhood Development, disseminating knowledge and promoting evidence-based reflections. It brings together international and Brazilian speakers to discuss priority issues for the development of policies and practices aimed at children up to the age of six.
The CPAPI – Brazilian Center for Early Child Development aims to promote the integral development of children from 0 to 6 years of age through scientific research at the frontier of knowledge to help formulate evidence-based public policies.
