What's Best for the Youngest Among Us?

For two years, a group of Virginia researchers worked to answer two key questions:

  • What do the Commonwealth’s youngest, most vulnerable citizens need to succeed in life?
  • How can we help them get it?

We look at the answers those researchers found, and invite listeners to chip in too on the topic of  Early Childhood Intervention.
