Understanding the Early Years

Through funding to local not-for-profit organizations, beginning in 1999 and ending in March 2011, the Understanding the Early Years (UEY) Initiative helped communities to gather quality, early childhood development information on:

  • how their young children are developing;
  • family and community factors that influence children's development; and
  • the availability of local resources to support young children and their families.

Parents, teachers and decision-makers, and others interested in the well-being of children in each community, then worked together to address issues identified by this information.

The UEY Initiative has enabled communities to better understand the needs of their young children and their families so that communities could strengthen or design local programmes and services to meet those needs.
