Foundation for Child Development
FCD has been connecting research with policy for social change
since 1900! The work with families
national but their main focus is helping disadvantaged families by promoting
their well being and education in an effort to help them become productive
citizens within our communities.
This organization provides funding to help bridge the gaps
in child development. They also help
influence policymakers understanding of what should be implicated for meeting
the needs of children and their families.
FCD offers 4 programs:
- Pre-K through 3rd Education: focuses on the learning environment and its requirements
- The Child Well-Being Index: a comprehensive measure of the quality of life for families in America
- New American Children : focuses on immigrant families and their development
- Young Scholars Program: provides support for career scholars to conduct research on immigrant families
Hi Shonda,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this website. It sounds like a wonderful resource for early childhood educators. Change is on-going and we need to keep informed with great resources. I am so glad we are sharing and connecting on a professional level. It has been very informative and helpful to me to realize I am not alone in my classroom or community. There is a whole world of professionals and resources to help. Thanks!

Hi Shonda,
ReplyDeleteI was telling one of our other classmates how excited I am to get all the website information this week. It looks like this is another good one. I saw where you said they have been doing research since 1900!! That's amazing! I like that they focus on families who are new to America. Thanks for sharing this website.
Thanks for your contributions this week! These resources broaden our horizons and give us a wealth of information to help us develop as educators. Thanks for sharing!
