Applying Indicators and Theory to the Delivery of Early Care and Education Supports for Black Families with Infants and Toddlers

A resource from Child Trends and the UNC Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute that draws on families’ cultural assets and uses a strengths-based perspective. For example, living in crowded housing is usually assumed to negatively impact children’s health, but the authors of the resource discuss how choosing to live with others, such as extended family members, during a child’s early years might support parents’ and children’s mental health and well-being.
